MeshesContainer.plot(fields_container=None, deform_by=None, scale_factor=1.0, **kwargs)#

Plot the meshes container with a specific result if fields_container is specified.

Parameters:

fields_container (FieldsContainer, optional) – Data to plot. The default is None.
deform_by (Field, Result, Operator, optional) – Used to deform the plotted mesh. Must output a 3D vector field. Defaults to None.

**kwargs (optional) – Additional keyword arguments for the plotter. For additional keyword arguments, see help(pyvista.plot).

Examples

>>> from ansys.dpf import core as dpf
>>> from ansys.dpf.core import examples
>>> model = dpf.Model(examples.find_multishells_rst())
>>> mesh = model.metadata.meshed_region
>>> split_mesh_op = dpf.operators.mesh.split_mesh(mesh=mesh, property="mat")
>>> meshes_cont = split_mesh_op.eval()
>>> disp_op = dpf.operators.result.displacement(
...     data_sources = dpf.DataSources(examples.find_multishells_rst()),
...     mesh = meshes_cont
... )
>>> disp_fc = disp_op.outputs.fields_container()
>>> meshes_cont.plot(disp_fc)

MeshesContainer.get_meshes(label_space)#

Retrieve the meshes at a label space.

Parameters:: label_space (dict[str,int]) – Meshes corresponding to a filter (label space) in the input. For example: {"elshape":1, "body":12}
Returns:: meshes – Meshes corresponding to the request.
Return type:: list[MeshedRegion]

MeshesContainer.get_mesh(label_space_or_index)#

Retrieve the mesh at a requested index or label space.

Raises an exception if the request returns more than one mesh.

Parameters:: label_space_or_index (dict[str,int] , int) – Scoping of the requested mesh, such as {"time": 1, "complex": 0} or the index of the mesh.
Returns:: mesh – Mesh corresponding to the request.
Return type:: MeshedRegion

MeshesContainer.__getitem__(key)#

Retrieve the mesh at a requested index.

Parameters:: key (int) – Index
Returns:: mesh – Mesh corresponding to the request.
Return type:: MeshedRegion

MeshesContainer.add_mesh(label_space, mesh)#

Add or update the mesh at a requested label space.

Parameters:

label_space (dict[str,int]) – Label space of the requested meshes. For example, {“elshape”:1, “body”:12}.
mesh (MeshedRegion) – DPF mesh to add or update.

static MeshesContainer.integral_collection(inpt, server: ansys.dpf.core.server_types.BaseServer = None)#

Create a collection of integral type with a list.

The collection of integral is the equivalent of an array of data sent server side. It can be used to efficiently stream large data to the server.

Parameters:: inpt (list[float], list[int], numpy.array) – list to transfer server side
Return type:: IntegralCollection

Notes

Used by default by the 'Operator' and the``’Workflow’`` when a list is connected or returned.

MeshesContainer.set_labels(labels)#

Set labels for scoping the collection.

Parameters:: labels (list[str], optional) – Labels to scope entries to. For example, ["time", "complex"].

MeshesContainer.add_label(label, default_value=None)#

Add the requested label to scope the collection.

Parameters:

label (str) – Labels to scope the entries to. For example, "time".
default_value (int, optional) – Default value for existing fields in the collection. The default is None.

Examples

>>> from ansys.dpf import core as dpf
>>> coll = dpf.FieldsContainer()
>>> coll.add_label('time')

MeshesContainer.has_label(label) → bool#

Check if a collection has a specified label.

Parameters:: label (str) – Label to search for. For example, "time".
Returns:: True when successful, False when failed.
Return type:: bool

Examples

>>> from ansys.dpf import core as dpf
>>> coll = dpf.FieldsContainer()
>>> coll.add_label('time')
>>> coll.has_label('time')
True

False

MeshesContainer.get_entries_indices(label_space)#

Retrieve the indices of the entries corresponding a requested label space .

Notes

Available starting with DPF 2025R1.

Parameters:: label_space (dict[str,int]) – Label space or index. For example, {"time": 1, "complex": 0} or the index of the field.
Returns:: indices – Indices of the entries corresponding to the request.
Return type:: list[int], list[Field], list[MeshedRegion]

MeshesContainer.get_label_space(index)#

Retrieve the label space of an entry at a requested index.

Parameters:: index (int) – Index of the entry.
Returns:: label_space – Scoping of the requested entry. For example, {"time": 1, "complex": 0}.
Return type:: dict(str:int)

MeshesContainer.get_available_ids_for_label(label='time')#

Retrieve the IDs assigned to an input label.

Parameters:: label (str) – Name of the input label. The default is "time".
Returns:: ids – List of IDs assigned to the input label.
Return type:: list[int]

MeshesContainer.get_label_scoping(label='time')#

Retrieve the scoping for an input label.

This method allows you to retrieve a list of IDs for a given input label in the collection. For example, if the label el_type exists in the collection, you can use the get_lable_scoping method to retrieve a list of IDS with this label. You can then use these IDs to request a given entity inside the collection.

Parameters:: label (str) – Name of the input label.
Returns:: scoping – IDs scoped to the input label.
Return type:: Scoping

MeshesContainer.set_support(label: str, support: ansys.dpf.core.support.Support) → None#

Set the support of the collection for a given label.

Notes

Available starting with DPF 2023 R1.

MeshesContainer.get_support(label: str) → ansys.dpf.core.support.Support#

Get the support of the collection for a given label.

Notes

Available starting with DPF 2023 R1.

MeshesContainer.__str__()#

Describe the entity.

Returns:: description – Description of the entity.
Return type:: str

MeshesContainer.__len__()#: Retrieve the number of entries.

MeshesContainer.__del__()#: Delete the entry.
