normals

Autogenerated DPF operator classes.

class ansys.dpf.core.operators.geo.normals.normals(mesh=None, mesh_scoping=None, field=None, config=None, server=None)

compute the normals at the given nodes or element scoping based on the given mesh (first version, the element normal is only handled on the shell elements)

Parameters:

• mesh (MeshedRegion, optional) –

• mesh_scoping (Scoping, optional) –

• field (Field, optional) –

Examples

>>> from ansys.dpf import core as dpf

>>> # Instantiate operator
>>> op = dpf.operators.geo.normals()

>>> # Make input connections
>>> my_mesh = dpf.MeshedRegion()
>>> op.inputs.mesh.connect(my_mesh)
>>> my_mesh_scoping = dpf.Scoping()
>>> op.inputs.mesh_scoping.connect(my_mesh_scoping)
>>> my_field = dpf.Field()
>>> op.inputs.field.connect(my_field)

>>> # Instantiate operator and connect inputs in one line
>>> op = dpf.operators.geo.normals(
...     mesh=my_mesh,
...     mesh_scoping=my_mesh_scoping,
...     field=my_field,
... )

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

static default_config(server=None)

Returns the default config of the operator.

This config can then be changed to the user needs and be used to instantiate the operator. The Configuration allows to customize how the operation will be processed by the operator.

Parameters:

server (server.DPFServer, optional) – Server with channel connected to the remote or local instance. When None, attempts to use the global server.

property inputs

Enables to connect inputs to the operator

Returns:

inputs

Return type:

InputsNormals

property outputs

Enables to get outputs of the operator by evaluating it

Returns:

outputs

Return type:

OutputsNormals

property config

Copy of the operator’s current configuration.

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

Examples

Modify the copy of an operator’s configuration and set it as current config of the operator.

>>> from ansys.dpf import core as dpf
>>> op = dpf.operators.math.add()
>>> config_add = op.config
>>> config_add.set_work_by_index_option(True)
>>> op.config = config_add

connect(pin, inpt, pin_out=0)

Connect an input on the operator using a pin number.

• ScopingsContainer – Operator, os.PathLike Object to connect to.

• MeshedRegion – Operator, os.PathLike Object to connect to.

• MeshesContainer – Operator, os.PathLike Object to connect to.

• DataSources – Operator, os.PathLike Object to connect to.

• CyclicSupport – Operator, os.PathLike Object to connect to.

• dict – Operator, os.PathLike Object to connect to.

• Outputs – Operator, os.PathLike Object to connect to.

• pin_out (int, optional) – If the input is an operator, the output pin of the input operator. The default is 0.

Examples

Compute the minimum of displacement by chaining the "U" and "min_max_fc" operators.

>>> from ansys.dpf import core as dpf
>>> from ansys.dpf.core import examples
>>> data_src = dpf.DataSources(examples.find_multishells_rst())
>>> disp_op = dpf.operators.result.displacement()
>>> disp_op.inputs.data_sources(data_src)
>>> max_fc_op = dpf.operators.min_max.min_max_fc()
>>> max_fc_op.inputs.connect(disp_op.outputs)
>>> max_field = max_fc_op.outputs.field_max()
>>> max_field.data
DPFArray([[0.59428386, 0.00201751, 0.0006032 ]]...

connect_operator_as_input(pin, op)

Connects an operator as an input on a pin. :type pin: :param pin: Number of the output pin. The default is 0. :type pin: int :type op: :param op: Requested type of the output. The default is None. :type op: ansys.dpf.core.dpf_operator.Operator

eval(pin=None)

Evaluate this operator.

Parameters:

pin (int) – Number of the output pin. The default is None.

Returns:

output – Returns the first output of the operator by default and the output of a given pin when specified. Or, it only evaluates the operator without output.

Return type:

FieldsContainer, Field, MeshedRegion, Scoping

Examples

Use the eval method.

>>> from ansys.dpf import core as dpf
>>> import ansys.dpf.core.operators.math as math
>>> from ansys.dpf.core import examples
>>> data_src = dpf.DataSources(examples.find_multishells_rst())
>>> disp_op = dpf.operators.result.displacement()
>>> disp_op.inputs.data_sources(data_src)
>>> normfc = math.norm_fc(disp_op).eval()

get_output(pin=0, output_type=None)

Retrieve the output of the operator on the pin number.

To activate the progress bar for server version higher or equal to 3.0, use my_op.progress_bar=True

Parameters:
