property outputs#

Enables to get outputs of the operator by evaluating it

Returns:: outputs
Return type:: OutputsVtuExport

property config#

You can modify the copy of the configuration and then use operator.config = new_config or instantiate an operator with the new configuration as a parameter.

For information on an operator’s options, see the documentation for that operator.

Returns:: Copy of the operator’s current configuration.
Return type:: ansys.dpf.core.config.Config
