:class:`Input`
==============

.. py:class:: ansys.dpf.core.inputs.Input(spec, pin, operator, count_ellipsis=-1)

   Intermediate class internally instantiated by the :class:`ansys.dpf.core.dpf_operator.Operator`.

   Used to connect inputs to the Operator.

   .. rubric:: Examples

   >>> from ansys.dpf import core as dpf
   >>> from ansys.dpf.core import examples
   >>> data_src = dpf.DataSources(examples.find_msup_transient())
   >>> disp_op = dpf.operators.result.displacement()
   >>> isinstance(disp_op.inputs.data_sources, dpf.inputs.Input)
   True
   >>> disp_op.inputs.data_sources(data_src)
   >>> disp_op.inputs.time_scoping([2])
