mapping:apply mechanical native mapping

Last update: 31.07.2026

Version: 0.0.0

Description

Maps source data from source mesh to target mesh (computes interpolation).This operator needs to be used with the prepare mechanical native mapping associated one.

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 source_mesh Required abstract_meshed_region
1 source_mesh_id Required int32
2 target_mesh Required abstract_meshed_region
3 target_mesh_id Required int32
4 mapping_manager_data Required
5 source_data Required fields_container
6 target_scoping scoping
9 threads_user_requested int32

source_mesh (Pin 0)

Source mesh

source_mesh_id (Pin 1)

  • Required: Yes
  • Expected type(s): int32

Source mesh id

target_mesh (Pin 2)

Target mesh

target_mesh_id (Pin 3)

  • Required: Yes
  • Expected type(s): int32

Target mesh id

mapping_manager_data (Pin 4)

  • Required: Yes
  • Expected type(s):

source_data (Pin 5)

Source data

target_scoping (Pin 6)

  • Required: No
  • Expected type(s): scoping

Target scoping the result will be scoped on

threads_user_requested (Pin 9)

  • Required: No
  • Expected type(s): int32

Number of threads to be used to parallelize apply operations. Default: 1 (run in series).

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 mapped_data fields_container
1 apply_output

mapped_data (Pin 0)

Mapped data

apply_output (Pin 1)

  • Expected type(s):

A Map containing the outputs of the interpolation as a key value pair

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: mapping

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("mechanical_native_mapping::apply"); // operator instantiation
op.connect(0, my_source_mesh);
op.connect(1, my_source_mesh_id);
op.connect(2, my_target_mesh);
op.connect(3, my_target_mesh_id);
op.connect(4, my_mapping_manager_data);
op.connect(5, my_source_data);
op.connect(6, my_target_scoping);
op.connect(9, my_threads_user_requested);
ansys::dpf::FieldsContainer my_mapped_data = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::FieldsContainer>(0);
 my_apply_output = op.getOutput<>(1);
CPython
import ansys.dpf.core as dpf

op = dpf.operators.mapping.apply_mechanical_native_mapping() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.source_mesh.connect(my_source_mesh)
op.inputs.source_mesh_id.connect(my_source_mesh_id)
op.inputs.target_mesh.connect(my_target_mesh)
op.inputs.target_mesh_id.connect(my_target_mesh_id)
op.inputs.mapping_manager_data.connect(my_mapping_manager_data)
op.inputs.source_data.connect(my_source_data)
op.inputs.target_scoping.connect(my_target_scoping)
op.inputs.threads_user_requested.connect(my_threads_user_requested)
my_mapped_data = op.outputs.mapped_data()
my_apply_output = op.outputs.apply_output()
