to_polar_coordinates class

Last update: 18.06.2026

Namespace: Ans.DataProcessing.operators.geo

Summary

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)

available outputs: field (Field)

Example

op = to_polar_coordinates()

op = to_polar_coordinates(field=my_field,coordinate_system=my_coordinate_system)

Class Information

Property Value
Namespace Ans.DataProcessing.operators.geo
Assembly Ans_Dpf_FEMutils_dll_cs
Base Class Ans.DataProcessing.internal_objects.BaseOperator

Inputs

field

field or fields container with only one field is expected

Type: LinkableInput

coordinate_system

3-3 rotation matrix and origin coordinates must be set here to define a coordinate system. By default, the rotation axis is the z axis and the origin is [0,0,0].

Type: LinkableInput

Outputs

field

Type: LinkableOutput
