elemental_nodal_to_nodal_fc class
Last update: 18.06.2026Namespace: Ans.DataProcessing.operators.averaging
Summary
Transforms Elemental Nodal fields into Nodal fields using an averaging process. The result is computed on a given node's scoping. If the input fields are mixed shell/solid, then the fields are split by element shape and the output fields container has an elshape label depending on the merge_solid_shell input.
available inputs: fields_container (FieldsContainer), mesh (MeshedRegion, MeshesContainer) (optional), should_average (bool) (optional), scoping (Scoping, ScopingsContainer) (optional), extend_to_mid_nodes (bool) (optional), extend_weights_to_mid_nodes (bool) (optional), merge_solid_shell (bool) (optional), shell_layer (Int32) (optional)
available outputs: fields_container (FieldsContainer), weights ()
Example
op = elemental_nodal_to_nodal_fc()

Inputs
fields_container
Type: LinkableInput
mesh
The mesh region in this pin is used to perform the averaging. It is used if there is no fields support.
Type: LinkableInput
should_average
Each nodal value is divided by the number of elements linked to this node (default is true for discrete quantities).
Type: LinkableInput
scoping
Average only on these nodes. If it is a scoping container, the label must correspond to the one of the fields containers.
Type: LinkableInput
extend_to_mid_nodes
Compute mid nodes (when available) by averaging the neighbour primary nodes.
Type: LinkableInput
extend_weights_to_mid_nodes
Extends weights to mid nodes (when available). Default is false.
Type: LinkableInput
merge_solid_shell
For shell/solid mixed fields, group in the same field all solids and shells (false by default). If this pin is true, a shell_layer needs to be specified.
Type: LinkableInput
shell_layer
0: Top, 1: Bottom, 2: TopBottom, 3: Mid, 4: TopBottomMid. If merge_solid_shell is true, this pin needs to be specified to a value that extracts only one layer (Top, Bottom or Mid).
Type: LinkableInput
Outputs
fields_container
Type: LinkableOutput
