Class Description
elemental_difference Transforms an Elemental Nodal or Nodal field into an Elemental field. Each elemental value is the maximum difference between the computed result for all nodes in this element. The result is computed on a given element scoping. ///available inputs: field (Field, FieldsContainer), mesh_scoping (Scoping) (optional), mesh (MeshedRegion) (optional), through_layers (bool) (optional)
elemental_difference_fc Transforms an Elemental Nodal or Nodal field into an Elemental field. Each elemental value is the maximum difference between the unaveraged or averaged (depending on the input fields) computed result for all nodes in this element. The result is computed on a given element scoping. If the input fields are mixed shell/solid, and the shell's layers are not specified as collapsed, then the fields are split by element shape and the output fields container has an elshape label. ///available inputs: fields_container (FieldsContainer), mesh (MeshedRegion, MeshesContainer) (optional), scoping (Scoping, ScopingsContainer) (optional), collapse_shell_layers (bool) (optional)
elemental_fraction_fc Transforms Elemental Nodal fields into Elemental fields. Each elemental value is the fraction between the elemental difference and the entity average. The result is computed on a given element's scoping. ///available inputs: fields_container (FieldsContainer), mesh (MeshedRegion) (optional), scoping (Scoping) (optional), denominator (FieldsContainer) (optional), collapse_shell_layers (bool) (optional)
elemental_mean Computes the average of a multi-entity field, (ElementalNodal -> Elemental), (NodalElemental -> Nodal). ///available inputs: field (Field), collapse_shell_layers (bool) (optional), force_averaging (bool) (optional), scoping (Scoping) (optional)
elemental_mean_fc Computes the average of a multi-entity container of fields, (ElementalNodal -> Elemental), (NodalElemental -> Nodal). If the input fields are mixed shell/solid and collapseShellLayers is false, then the fields could be split by element shape and the output fields container would have an elshape label depending on the e_shell_layer and merge_solid_shell inputs (if e_shell_layer is not specified, the fields are split; if it is specified, the fields can be split based on merge_solid_shell).If collapseShellLayers is true, all available shell layers are collapsed and shells and solid fields are always merged. ///available inputs: fields_container (FieldsContainer), collapse_shell_layers (bool) (optional), force_averaging (bool) (optional), scoping (Scoping, ScopingsContainer) (optional), meshed_region (MeshedRegion, MeshesContainer) (optional), merge_solid_shell (bool) (optional), e_shell_layer (Int32) (optional)
