mesh:iso surfaces

Version: 0.0.0

Description

Extract multiple iso-contours from mesh_cut operator and set it into a meshes container. If pin 1 is provided, "num_surfaces" iso-contours will be computed, ranging from "min_value" to "max_value" linearly. If pin 4 is provided, the iso-values are the one set by the user. The iso-values are stored into a FieldsContainer.

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.

field (Pin 0)

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

Field containing the values for the iso-surface computation. The mesh can be retrieved from this field's support or through pin 2.

num_surfaces (Pin 1)

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

If provided, iso_values are linearly computed between the min and the max of the field of results. If not, iso_values must be provided by the user through pin 4

mesh (Pin 2)

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

Mesh to compute the iso-surface from. Used when not given through the support of the field in pin 0.

slice_surfaces (Pin 3)

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

True: slicing will also take into account shell and skin elements. False: slicing will ignore shell and skin elements. The default is true.

vector_iso_values (Pin 4)

• Required: No
• Expected type(s): vector<double>

If provided, user defined iso_values to compute. If not provided, iso_values are linearly compute between the min and the max of the field of results.

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.

meshes (Pin 0)

• Expected type(s): meshes_container

fields_container (Pin 1)

• Expected type(s): fields_container

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.

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.
