Last update: 18.06.2026

Namespace: Ans.DataProcessing.operators.geo

Summary

Compute the measure of the Faces (surface for 2D faces of a 3D model or length for 1D faces of a 2D model) using default shape functions, except for polygons.

available inputs: mesh (MeshedRegion), mesh_scoping (Scoping)

available outputs: field (Field)

Example

op = faces_area()

op = faces_area(mesh=my_mesh,mesh_scoping=my_mesh_scoping)
