Class Description
cartesian_to_spherical Converts 3D field from cartesian coordinates to spherical coordinates. ///available inputs: field (Field, FieldsContainer)
cartesian_to_spherical_fc Converts 3D field from cartesian coordinates to spherical coordinates. ///available inputs: fields_container (FieldsContainer)
[element_nodal_conrators_geo_element_nodal_contribution.md) Compute the fraction of the element measure attributed to each node of each element (fraction of the volume for 3D elements, fraction of the area for 2D elements or fraction of the length for 1D elements). It is computed by taking the integral of the shape function associated to each node within each element. ///available inputs: mesh (MeshedRegion), scoping (Scoping) (optional), volume_fraction (bool) (optional)
[elements_facrocessing_operators_geo_elements_facets_surfaces_over_time.md) 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)
elements_volume Compute the measure of the Elements (volume for 3D elements, surface for 2D elements or length for 1D elements) using default shape functions, except for polyhedrons. ///available inputs: mesh (MeshedRegion), mesh_scoping (Scoping)
[elements_volumes_overrs_geo_elements_volumes_over_time.md) Calculates for a mesh, the volume of each element over time for each specified time step. ///available inputs: scoping (Scoping) (optional), displacement (FieldsContainer) (optional), mesh (MeshedRegion) (optional)
[faces_area]_faces_area.md) 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)
gauss_to_node Extrapolating results available at Gauss or quadrature points to nodal points for one field. The available elements are: Linear quadrangle, parabolic quadrangle, linear hexagonal, quadratic hexagonal, linear tetrahedral, and quadratic tetrahedral ///available inputs: field (Field), scoping (Scoping) (optional), mesh (MeshedRegion) (optional)
integrate_over_elements Integration of an input field over mesh. ///available inputs: field (Field), scoping (Scoping) (optional), mesh (MeshedRegion) (optional)
normals compute the normals at the given nodes or element scoping based on the given mesh (first version, the element normal is only handled on the shell elements) ///available inputs: mesh (MeshedRegion) (optional), mesh_scoping (Scoping) (optional), field (Field) (optional)
normals_provider_nl Computes the normals on nodes/faces/elements based on integration points (more accurate for non-linear elements) on a skin mesh. ///available inputs: mesh (MeshedRegion), mesh_scoping (Scoping) (optional), requested_location (string) (optional)
rotate Applies a transformation (rotation) matrix on a field. ///available inputs: field (Field, FieldsContainer), field_rotation_matrix (Field)
rotate_fc Apply a transformation (rotation) matrix on all the fields of a fields container. ///available inputs: fields_container (FieldsContainer), coordinate_system (Field)
rotate_in_cylindrical_cs Rotates a field to its corresponding values into the specified cylindrical coordinate system (corresponding to the field position). If a coordinate system is not set in the coordinate_system pin, the field is rotated on each node following the local polar coordinate system. ///available inputs: field (Field, FieldsContainer), coordinate_system (Field) (optional), mesh (MeshedRegion) (optional)
rotate_in_cylindrical_cs_fc Rotates all the fields of a fields container (not defined with a cynlindrical coordinate system) to its corresponding values into the specified cylindrical coordinate system (corresponding to the field position). If a coordinate system is not set in the coordinate_system pin, the field is rotated on each node following the local polar coordinate system. ///available inputs: field (Field, FieldsContainer), coordinate_system (Field) (optional), mesh (MeshedRegion) (optional)
spherical_to_cartesian Converts 3D field from spherical coordinates to cartesian coordinates. ///available inputs: field (Field, FieldsContainer)
spherical_to_cartesian_fc Converts 3D field from spherical coordinates to cartesian coordinates. ///available inputs: fields_container (FieldsContainer)
to_polar_coordinates Finds r, theta (rad), and z coordinates of a coordinates (nodal) field in a cartesian coordinates system where the input coordinate system defines the rotation axis and the origin. ///available inputs: field (Field, FieldsContainer), coordinate_system (Field) (optional)
