elemental_to_nodal_fc class

Namespace: Ans.DataProcessing.operators.averaging

Summary

Transforms Elemental Nodal fields to Nodal fields. The result is computed on a given node's scoping.1. For a finite element mesh, the value on a node is the average of the values of the neighbour elements.

2. For a finite volume mesh, the agorithm is :

   • For each node, compute interpolation weights for the cells connected to it based on the Frink's Laplacian method.

   • If the determinant of the I matrix is zero, switch to an inverse distance weighted average.

   • If not, compute the Frink weights and apply the Holmes' weight clip.

   • If the clipping produces a large overshoot, inverse volume weighted average is used..

3. For a face finite volume mesh inverse distance weighted average is used.
