:class:`Inputs`
===============


.. py:class:: ansys.dpf.core.inputs.Inputs(dict_inputs, operator)

   Bases: :py:obj:`_Inputs`


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

   Used to connect inputs to the Operator by automatically
   checking types to connect correct inputs.

   .. 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, dpf.inputs._Inputs)
   True
   >>> disp_op.inputs.connect(data_src)
   >>> disp_op.inputs.connect([2])

.. py:method:: __str__()

.. py:method:: connect(inpt)

   Connect any input (an entity or an operator output) to any input pin of this operator.

   Searches for the input type corresponding to the output.

   .. deprecated::
       Deprecated in favor of explicit output-to-input connections.
