Bases: ansys.dpf.core.dpf_operator.Operator

Compute the Equivalent Radiated Power (ERP)

Inputs#

fields_container: FieldsContainer: the input field container expects displacements fields
mesh: MeshedRegion or MeshesContainer: the mesh region in this pin has to be boundary or skin mesh
time_scoping: int or Scoping: load step number (if it’s specified, the ERP is computed only on the substeps of this step) or time scoping
mass_density: float: mass density (if it’s not specified, default value of the air is applied).
speed_of_sound: float: speed of sound (if it’s not specified, default value of the speed of sound in the air is applied).
erp_type: int: if this pin is set to 0, the classical ERP is computed, 1 the corrected ERP is computed (a mesh of one face has to be given in the pin 1) and 2 the enhanced ERP is computed. Default is 0.
boolean: bool: if this pin is set to true, the ERP level in dB is computed
factor: float: erp reference value. Default is 1E-12

Outputs#

fields_container: FieldsContainer
