mesh_cut class

Last update: 18.06.2026

Namespace: Ans.DataProcessing.operators.mesh

Summary

Extracts a skin of the mesh in triangles in a new meshed region.

available inputs: field (Field), iso_value (double), closed_surface (Int32), mesh (MeshedRegion) (optional), slice_surfaces (bool)

available outputs: mesh (MeshedRegion)

Example

op = mesh_cut()

op = mesh_cut(field=my_field,iso_value=my_iso_value,closed_surface=my_closed_surface,mesh=my_mesh,slice_surfaces=my_slice_surfaces)

Class Information

Property Value
Namespace Ans.DataProcessing.operators.mesh
Assembly meshOperatorsCore_dll_cs
Base Class Ans.DataProcessing.internal_objects.BaseOperator

Inputs

field

Field containing the values for the iso-surface computation. The mesh can be retrieved from this field's support or through pin 2.

Type: LinkableInput

iso_value

iso value

Type: LinkableInput

closed_surface

1: closed surface, 0: iso surface.

Type: LinkableInput

mesh

Mesh to compute the iso-surface from. Used when not given through the support of the field in pin 0.

Type: LinkableInput

slice_surfaces

True: slicing will also take into account shell and skin elements. False: slicing will ignore shell and skin elements. The default is true.

Type: LinkableInput

Outputs

mesh

Type: LinkableOutput
