class ansys.dpf.core.operators.averaging.elemental_to_nodal_fc.elemental_to_nodal_fc(fields_container=None, mesh=None, force_averaging=None, mesh_scoping=None, algorithm=None, config=None, server=None)#

Transforms Elemental Nodal fields to Nodal fields. The result is computed on a given node’s scoping.1. For a finite element mesh, the value on a node is the average of the values of the neighbour elements. 2. For a finite volume mesh, the agorithm is : - For each node, compute interpolation weights for the cells connected to it based on the Frink’s Laplacian method. - If the determinant of the I matrix is zero, switch to an inverse distance weighted average. - If not, compute the Frink weights and apply the Holmes’ weight clip. - If the clipping produces a large overshoot, inverse volume weighted average is used.. 3. For a face finite volume mesh inverse distance weighted average is used.

Parameters:

fields_container (FieldsContainer) –
mesh (MeshedRegion or MeshesContainer, optional) –
force_averaging (int, optional) – Averaging on nodes is used if this pin is set to 1 (default is 1 for integrated results and 0 for discrete ones).
mesh_scoping (Scoping or ScopingsContainer, optional) –
algorithm (int, optional) – Forces the usage of algorithm 1, 2 or 3 (default is chosen based on the type of mesh).

Returns:

fields_container

Return type:

FieldsContainer
