mesh:external layer

Version: 0.0.0

Description

Extracts the external layer (thick skin) of the mesh (3D elements) in a new meshed region.

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.

mesh (Pin 0)

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

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.

mesh (Pin 0)

• Expected type(s): abstract_meshed_region

nodes_mesh_scoping (Pin 1)

• Expected type(s): scoping

elements_mesh_scoping (Pin 2)

• Expected type(s): scoping

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: mesh

Plugin: core

Scripting name: external_layer

Full name: mesh.external_layer

Internal name: meshed_external_layer_sector

License: None

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.

#include "dpf_api.h"

ansys::dpf::Operator op("meshed_external_layer_sector"); // operator instantiation
op.connect(0, my_mesh);
ansys::dpf::MeshedRegion my_mesh = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::MeshedRegion>(0);
ansys::dpf::Scoping my_nodes_mesh_scoping = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::Scoping>(1);
ansys::dpf::Scoping my_elements_mesh_scoping = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::Scoping>(2);

import ansys.dpf.core as dpf

op = dpf.operators.mesh.external_layer() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.mesh.connect(my_mesh)
my_mesh = op.outputs.mesh()
my_nodes_mesh_scoping = op.outputs.nodes_mesh_scoping()
my_elements_mesh_scoping = op.outputs.elements_mesh_scoping()

import mech_dpf
import Ans.DataProcessing as dpf

op = dpf.operators.mesh.external_layer() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.mesh.Connect(my_mesh)
my_mesh = op.outputs.mesh.GetData()
my_nodes_mesh_scoping = op.outputs.nodes_mesh_scoping.GetData()
my_elements_mesh_scoping = op.outputs.elements_mesh_scoping.GetData()
