Autogenerated DPF operator classes.

class ansys.dpf.core.operators.mesh.iso_surfaces.iso_surfaces(field=None, num_surfaces=None, mesh=None, slice_surfaces=None, vector_iso_values=None, config=None, server=None)#

Extract multiple iso-contours from mesh_cut operator and set it into a meshes container. If pin 1 is provided, ‘num_surfaces’ iso- contours will be computed, ranging from ‘min_value’ to ‘max_value’ linearly. If pin 4 is provided, the iso-values are the one set by the user. The iso-values are stored into a FieldsContainer.

Parameters:

  • field (Field) – Field containing the values for the iso- surface computation. the mesh can be retrieved from this field’s support or through pin 2.

  • num_surfaces (int, optional) – If provided, iso_values are linearly computed between the min and the max of the field of results. if not, iso_values must be provided by the user through pin 4

  • mesh (MeshedRegion, optional) – Mesh to compute the iso-surface from. used when not given through the support of the field in pin 0.

  • slice_surfaces (bool) – True: slicing will also take into account shell and skin elements. false: slicing will ignore shell and skin elements. the default is true.

  • vector_iso_values (optional) – If provided, user defined iso_values to compute. if not provided, iso_values are linearly compute between the min and the max of the field of results.
