composite:reference_surface_operator

Last update: 31.07.2026

Version: 0.0.0

Description

Reads the reference surface from solid composite definition file(s) and generates a meshed region. Computes the mapping of solid elements to reference surface elements. In case of an imported solid model where the reference surface is missing, the skin is computed and used as reference surface. The mapping is then based on nearest neighbor.

Inputs

Input Name Expected type(s) Description
Pin 4
Required
data_sources data_sources List of composite definitions (h5) files with mapping files. Use the sResultKey to name the parts.
Pin 310
Required
unit_system class dataProcessing::unit::CUnitSystem, result_info, int32, string Unit system. The output (mesh) will be converted into this unit system.

Outputs

Output Name Expected type(s) Description
Pin 0 mapping_field property_field Property field that contains a map from the reference_surface element id to the solid element ids.
Pin 7 mesh abstract_meshed_region Meshed region containing the reference surface.

Configurations

Name Expected type(s) Default value Description
mutex bool false If this option is set to true, the shared memory is prevented from being simultaneously accessed by multiple threads.
