result:elemental summable miscellaneous data
Last update: 31.07.2026Version: 0.0.0
Description
Read/compute elemental summable miscellaneous data by calling the readers defined by the datasources. Modal superposition (on demand expansion) and cyclic cxpansion procedures are supported, however, you should verify that the linear combination is applicable for the associated element according to the MAPDL documentation description of each item.
Supported file types
This operator supports the following keys (file formats) for each listed namespace (plugin/solver):
- hdf5: h5dpf
- mapdl: cms, mode, rst, rstp, rth
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 | time_scoping | scoping, int32, vector<int32>, double, field, vector<double> |
|
| 1 | mesh_scoping | scopings_container, scoping |
|
| 2 | fields_container | fields_container |
|
| 3 | streams_container | streams_container |
|
| 4 | data_sources | Required | data_sources |
| 7 | mesh | abstract_meshed_region, meshes_container |
|
| 10 | item_index | int32 |
|
| 11 | num_components | int32 |
|
| 14 | read_cyclic | enum dataProcessing::ECyclicReading, int32 |
|
| 15 | expanded_meshed_region | abstract_meshed_region, meshes_container |
|
| 18 | sectors_to_expand | vector<int32>, scoping, scopings_container |
|
| 19 | phi | double |
time_scoping (Pin 0)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
scoping,int32,vector<int32>,double,field,vector<double>
time/freq values (use doubles or field), time/freq set ids (use ints or scoping) or time/freq step ids (use scoping with TimeFreq_steps location) required in output. To specify time/freq values at specific load steps, put a Field (and not a list) in input with a scoping located on "TimeFreq_steps". Linear time freq intrapolation is performed if the values are not in the result files and the data at the max time or freq is taken when time/freqs are higher than available time/freqs in result files. To get all data for all time/freq sets, connect an int with value -1.
mesh_scoping (Pin 1)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
scopings_container,scoping
nodes or elements scoping required in output. The output fields will be scoped on these node or element IDs. To figure out the ordering of the fields data, look at their scoping IDs as they might not be ordered as the input scoping was. The scoping's location indicates whether nodes or elements are asked for. Using scopings container allows you to split the result fields container into domains
fields_container (Pin 2)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
fields_container
Fields container already allocated modified inplace
streams_container (Pin 3)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
streams_container
result file container allowed to be kept open to cache data
data_sources (Pin 4)
- Required: Yes
- Expected type(s):
data_sources
result file path container, used if no streams are set
mesh (Pin 7)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
abstract_meshed_region,meshes_container
mesh. If cylic expansion is to be done, mesh of the base sector
item_index (Pin 10)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
int32
Index of requested item.
num_components (Pin 11)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
int32
Number of components for the requested item.
read_cyclic (Pin 14)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
enum dataProcessing::ECyclicReading,int32
if 0 cyclic symmetry is ignored, if 1 cyclic sector is read, if 2 cyclic expansion is done, if 3 cyclic expansion is done and stages are merged (default is 1)
expanded_meshed_region (Pin 15)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
abstract_meshed_region,meshes_container
mesh expanded, use if cyclic expansion is to be done.
sectors_to_expand (Pin 18)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
vector<int32>,scoping,scopings_container
sectors to expand (start at 0), for multistage: use scopings container with 'stage' label, use if cyclic expansion is to be done.
phi (Pin 19)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
double
angle phi in degrees (default value 0.0), use if cyclic expansion is to be done.
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 | fields_container | fields_container |
fields_container (Pin 0)
- 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.
num_threads
- Expected type(s):
int32 - Default value: 0
Number of threads to use to run in parallel
run_in_parallel
- Expected type(s):
bool - Default value: true
Loops are allowed to run in parallel if the value of this config is set to true.
