averaging:extend to mid nodes (field)

Last update: 31.07.2026

Version: 0.0.0

Description

Extends an Elemental Nodal or Nodal field defined on corner nodes to a field defined also on the mid nodes.

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 field Required field, fields_container
7 mesh abstract_meshed_region

field (Pin 0)

field or fields container with only one field is expected

mesh (Pin 7)

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

Configurations

This operator supports configuration options that modify its behavior.

inplace

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

The output is written over the input to save memory if this configuration is set to true. Only supported for nodal fields in input.

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("extend_to_mid_nodes"); // operator instantiation
op.connect(0, my_field);
op.connect(7, my_mesh);
ansys::dpf::Field my_field = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::Field>(0);
CPython
import ansys.dpf.core as dpf

op = dpf.operators.averaging.extend_to_mid_nodes() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.field.connect(my_field)
op.inputs.mesh.connect(my_mesh)
my_field = op.outputs.field()
IPython
import mech_dpf
import Ans.DataProcessing as dpf

op = dpf.operators.averaging.extend_to_mid_nodes() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.field.Connect(my_field)
op.inputs.mesh.Connect(my_mesh)
my_field = op.outputs.field.GetData()
