solid_to_skin class

Last update: 18.06.2026

Namespace: Ans.DataProcessing.operators.mapping

Summary

Maps a field defined on solid elements to a field defined on skin elements. Three cases are possible, based on the solid field data location; (i) Elemental: The values associated with the solid elements are copied according to those underlying the skin, (ii) Nodal: The solid field is rescoped with respect to the nodes of the skin mesh, (iii) ElementalNodal: The values are copied from the solid mesh to the skin mesh for each element face and the nodes associated with it.

available inputs: field (Field, FieldsContainer), mesh (MeshedRegion), solid_mesh (MeshedRegion) (optional)

available outputs: field (Field)

Example

op = solid_to_skin()

op = solid_to_skin(field=my_field,mesh=my_mesh,solid_mesh=my_solid_mesh)
