ansys.dpf.core.operators.mesh.mesh_clip

class ansys.dpf.core.operators.mesh.mesh_clip(field=None, iso_value=None, closed_surface=None, mesh=None, slice_surfaces=None, config=None, server=None)

Bases: ansys.dpf.core.dpf_operator.Operator

Clips a volume mesh along an iso value x, and construct the volume mesh defined by v < x.

Parameters:

• field (Field)

• iso_value (float) – iso value

• closed_surface (int) – 1: closed surface, 0: iso surface.

• mesh (MeshedRegion, optional)

• 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.

Returns:

• field (Field)

• mesh (MeshedRegion)

Examples

>>> from ansys.dpf import core as dpf

>>> # Instantiate operator
>>> op = dpf.operators.mesh.mesh_clip()

>>> # Make input connections
>>> my_field = dpf.Field()
>>> op.inputs.field.connect(my_field)
>>> my_iso_value = float()
>>> op.inputs.iso_value.connect(my_iso_value)
>>> my_closed_surface = int()
>>> op.inputs.closed_surface.connect(my_closed_surface)
>>> my_mesh = dpf.MeshedRegion()
>>> op.inputs.mesh.connect(my_mesh)
>>> my_slice_surfaces = bool()
>>> op.inputs.slice_surfaces.connect(my_slice_surfaces)

>>> # Instantiate operator and connect inputs in one line
>>> op = dpf.operators.mesh.mesh_clip(
...     field=my_field,
...     iso_value=my_iso_value,
...     closed_surface=my_closed_surface,
...     mesh=my_mesh,
...     slice_surfaces=my_slice_surfaces,
... )

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

static _spec() → ansys.dpf.core.operators.specification.Specification

static default_config(server: ansys.dpf.core.server_types.AnyServerType = None) → ansys.dpf.core.config.Config

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 with channel connected to the remote or local instance. When None, attempts to use the global server.

Returns:

A new Config instance equivalent to the default config for this operator.

Return type:

config

property inputs: InputsMeshClip

Enables to connect inputs to the operator

Returns:

An instance of InputsMeshClip.

Return type:

inputs

property outputs: OutputsMeshClip

Enables to get outputs of the operator by evaluating it

Returns:

An instance of OutputsMeshClip.

Return type:
