mapping:prepare mechanical native mapping with point cloud

Version: 0.0.0

Description

Prepare mapping of source data from source mesh to target mesh by operating the source_mesh/target_mesh weights computation. This operator will use a point cloud based algorithm. This operator needs to be used with the apply 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.

source_mesh (Pin 0)

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

Default is empty string. The string contains either "2D" or "3D" which specifies the target dimension

Outputs
