elements_facets_surfaces_over_time class
Last update: 18.06.2026Namespace: Ans.DataProcessing.operators.geo
Summary
Calculates for a mesh, the surface of each element's facet over time for each specified time step. The output is a new mesh made with only surface elements.
available inputs: scoping (Scoping) (optional), displacement (FieldsContainer) (optional), mesh (MeshedRegion) (optional)
available outputs: fields_container (FieldsContainer), mesh (MeshedRegion)
Example
op = elements_facets_surfaces_over_time()
op = elements_facets_surfaces_over_time(scoping=my_scoping,displacement=my_displacement,mesh=my_mesh)
