`dot`#

class ansys.dpf.core.operators.math.dot.dot(fieldA=None, fieldB=None, config=None, server=None)#

Bases: ansys.dpf.core.dpf_operator.Operator

DEPRECATED, PLEASE USE GENERALIZED INNER PRODUCT. Computes element - wise dot product between two vector fields. If one field’s scoping has an ‘overall’ location, then this field’s values are applied on the other field entirely.When using a constant or ‘work_by_index’, you can use ‘inplace’ to reuse one of the fields, but only in the case where both fields are scalar.

Parameters:

fieldA (Field or FieldsContainer) – Field or fields container with only one field is expected
fieldB (Field or FieldsContainer) – Field or fields container with only one field is expected

Returns:

field

Return type:

Field

Examples

>>> from ansys.dpf import core as dpf

>>> # Instantiate operator
>>> op = dpf.operators.math.dot()

>>> # Make input connections
>>> my_fieldA = dpf.Field()
>>> op.inputs.fieldA.connect(my_fieldA)
>>> my_fieldB = dpf.Field()
>>> op.inputs.fieldB.connect(my_fieldB)

>>> # Instantiate operator and connect inputs in one line
>>> op = dpf.operators.math.dot(
...     fieldA=my_fieldA,
...     fieldB=my_fieldB,
... )

>>> # Get output data
>>> result_field = op.outputs.field()

Overview#

Properties

`inputs`	Enables to connect inputs to the operator
`outputs`	Enables to get outputs of the operator by evaluating it
