Last update: 03.06.2026

Version: 0.0.0

Description

Rotates nodal elemental results to global coordinate system

Inputs

This table lists the input pins for this operator. Input pins define the data that the operator requires to perform its operation. Some inputs are required, while others are optional and provide additional configuration. Each parameter is detailed in the sections that follow the table.

Pin number Name Status Expected type(s)
0 fieldA Required field
1 fieldB Required field

fieldA (Pin 0)

  • Required: Yes
  • Expected type(s): field

Vector or tensor field that must be rotated, expressed in nodal coordinate system.

fieldB (Pin 1)

  • Required: Yes
  • Expected type(s): field

Nodal euler angles defined from a result file. Those must be the rotations from Nodal to Global.

Outputs

This table lists the output pins for this operator. Output pins provide the results of the operator's computation and can be connected to inputs of other operators or retrieved for further processing. Each output is detailed in the sections that follow the table.

Pin number Name Expected type(s)
0 field field

field (Pin 0)

  • Expected type(s): field

Rotated field

Configurations

This operator supports configuration options that modify its behavior.

mutex

  • Expected type(s): bool
  • Default value: false

If this option is set to true, the shared memory is prevented from being simultaneously accessed by multiple threads.

Scripting

This operator can be accessed through scripting interfaces using these identifiers.

Examples

These examples demonstrate how to use this operator in different programming environments. Each example shows how to instantiate the operator, connect the required inputs, and retrieve the output.

C++
#include "dpf_api.h"

ansys::dpf::Operator op("NodalElementalResultsRotation"); // operator instantiation
op.connect(0, my_fieldA);
op.connect(1, my_fieldB);
ansys::dpf::Field my_field = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::field>(0);

</ansys::dpf::field>

CPython
import ansys.dpf.core as dpf

op = dpf.operators.result.nodal_to_global() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.fieldA.connect(my_fieldA)
op.inputs.fieldB.connect(my_fieldB)
my_field = op.outputs.field()
IPython
import mech_dpf
import Ans.DataProcessing as dpf

op = dpf.operators.result.nodal_to_global() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.fieldA.Connect(my_fieldA)
op.inputs.fieldB.Connect(my_fieldB)
my_field = op.outputs.field.GetData()
