Class Information

Property Value
Namespace Ans.DataProcessing.operators.result
Assembly Ans_Dpf_Native_dll_cs
Base Class Ans.DataProcessing.internal_objects.BaseOperator

Inputs

time_scoping

time/freq values (use doubles or field), time/freq set ids (use ints or scoping) or time/freq step ids (use scoping with TimeFreq_steps location) required in output. To specify time/freq values at specific load steps, put a Field (and not a list) in input with a scoping located on "TimeFreq_steps". Linear time freq intrapolation is performed if the values are not in the result files and the data at the max time or freq is taken when time/freqs are higher than available time/freqs in result files. To get all data for all time/freq sets, connect an int with value -1.

Type: LinkableInput

mesh_scoping

nodes or elements scoping required in output. The output fields will be scoped on these node or element IDs. To figure out the ordering of the fields data, look at their scoping IDs as they might not be ordered as the input scoping was. The scoping's location indicates whether nodes or elements are asked for. Using scopings container allows you to split the result fields container into domains

Type: LinkableInput

fields_container

Fields container already allocated modified inplace

Type: LinkableInput

streams_container

result file container allowed to be kept open to cache data

Type: LinkableInput

data_sources

result file path container, used if no streams are set

Type: LinkableInput

bool_rotate_to_global

if true the field is rotated to global coordinate system (default true). Please check your results carefully if 'false' is used for Elemental or ElementalNodal results averaged to the Nodes when adjacent elements do not share the same coordinate system, as results may be incorrect.

Type: LinkableInput

mesh

prevents from reading the mesh in the result files

Type: LinkableInput

requested_location

requested location Nodal, Elemental or ElementalNodal

Type: LinkableInput

read_beams

elemental nodal beam results are read if this pin is set to true (default is false)

Type: LinkableInput

split_shells

If true, this pin forces the results to be split by element shape, indicated by the presence of the 'elshape' label in the output. If false, the results for all elements shapes are combined. Default value is false if averaging is not required and true if averaging is required.

Type: LinkableInput

shell_layer

If connected, this pin allows you to extract the result only on the selected shell layer(s). The available values are: 0: Top, 1: Bottom, 2: TopBottom, 3: Mid, 4: TopBottomMid.

Type: LinkableInput

extend_to_mid_nodes

Compute mid nodes (when available) by averaging the neighbour corner nodes. Default: True

Type: LinkableInput

Outputs

fields_container

Type: LinkableOutput
