ansys.dpf.core.operators.mesh.mesh_cut#

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

Bases: ansys.dpf.core.dpf_operator.Operator

Extracts a skin of the mesh in triangles in a new meshed region.

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.

  • iso_value (float) – iso value

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

  • 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.

Returns:

mesh

Return type:

MeshedRegion

Examples

>>> from ansys.dpf import core as dpf

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

>>> # 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_cut(
...     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_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: InputsMeshCut#

Enables to connect inputs to the operator

Returns:

An instance of InputsMeshCut.

Return type:

inputs

property outputs: OutputsMeshCut#

Enables to get outputs of the operator by evaluating it

Returns:

An instance of OutputsMeshCut.

Return type:

outputs
