find_reduced_coordinates class

Last update: 18.06.2026

Namespace: Ans.DataProcessing.operators.mapping

Summary

Finds the elements corresponding to the given coordinates in input and computes their reduced coordinates in those elements.

available inputs: coordinates (Field, FieldsContainer, MeshedRegion, MeshesContainer), mesh (MeshedRegion, MeshesContainer) (optional), use_quadratic_elements (bool) (optional)

available outputs: reduced_coordinates (FieldsContainer), element_ids (ScopingsContainer)

Example

op = find_reduced_coordinates()

op = find_reduced_coordinates(coordinates=my_coordinates,mesh=my_mesh,use_quadratic_elements=my_use_quadratic_elements)

Class Information

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

Inputs

coordinates

Type: LinkableInput

mesh

If the first field in input has no mesh in support, then the mesh in this pin is expected (default is false). If a meshes container with several meshes is set, it should be on the same label spaces as the coordinates fields container.

Type: LinkableInput

use_quadratic_elements

If this pin is set to true, reduced coordinates are computed on the quadratic element if the element is quadratic (more precise but less performant). Default is false.

Type: LinkableInput

Outputs

reduced_coordinates

coordinates in the reference elements

Type: LinkableOutput

element_ids

Ids of the elements where each set of reduced coordinates is found

Type: LinkableOutput
