normals_provider_nl class

Namespace: Ans.DataProcessing.operators.geo

Summary

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)

available outputs: field (Field)

Example

op = normals_provider_nl()

op = normals_provider_nl(mesh=my_mesh,mesh_scoping=my_mesh_scoping,requested_location=my_requested_location)

Inputs

mesh

Skin, face, or shell mesh region.

Type: LinkableInput

mesh_scoping

Elemental, ElementalNodal, or Nodal scoping. Location derived from this.

Type: LinkableInput

requested_location

If no scoping, specifies location. If scoping is Elemental or ElementalNodal this overrides scoping. Default is Elemental.
