nodal_to_elemental_fc class

Namespace: Ans.DataProcessing.operators.averaging

Summary

Transforms Nodal fields into Elemental fields using an averaging process. The result is computed on a given element's 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), merge_solid_shell (bool) (optional), shell_layer (Int32) (optional)

available outputs: fields_container (FieldsContainer)

Example

op = nodal_to_elemental_fc()

op = nodal_to_elemental_fc(fields_container=my_fields_container,mesh=my_mesh,scoping=my_scoping,collapse_shell_layers=my_collapse_shell_layers,merge_solid_shell=my_merge_solid_shell,shell_layer=my_shell_layer)

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

scoping

Average only on these elements. If it is a scoping container, the label must correspond to the one of the fields containers.

Type: LinkableInput

collapse_shell_layers

If true, the data across different shell layers is averaged as well (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 and collapse_shell_layers is false, 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
