DPF Framework 2026 R1

compression:zfp decompression

Last update: 31.07.2026

Version: 0.0.0

Description

zfp decompression using the information about compression written into the properties of the field(s)

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 dataIn Required custom_type_fields_container

dataIn (Pin 0)

custom type field container from zfp_compression operator to decompress

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 dataOut field, fields_container
1 decompress_speed double

dataOut (Pin 0)

the output entity is a field or a fields container; it contains decompressed data

decompress_speed (Pin 1)

the output entity is a double, containing decompression speed (mb/sec)

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.

Category: compression

Plugin: core

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("zfp_decompress"); // operator instantiation
op.connect(0, my_dataIn);
ansys::dpf::Field my_dataOut = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::Field>(0);
double my_decompress_speed = op.getOutput<double>(1);
CPython
import ansys.dpf.core as dpf

op = dpf.operators.compression.zfp_decompress() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.dataIn.connect(my_dataIn)
my_dataOut_as_field = op.outputs.dataOut_as_field()
my_decompress_speed = op.outputs.decompress_speed()
IPython
import mech_dpf
import Ans.DataProcessing as dpf

op = dpf.operators.compression.zfp_decompress() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.dataIn.Connect(my_dataIn)
my_dataOut = op.outputs.dataOut.GetData()
my_decompress_speed = op.outputs.decompress_speed.GetData()
