result:von mises stresses as mechanical workflow

Last update: 31.07.2026

Version: 0.0.0

Description

Generates a workflow that computes the equivalent (Von Mises) stresses and averages it to the nodes (by default). For multibody simulations, averaging across bodies can either be activated or deactivated.

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, vector<int32>
1 mesh_scoping scoping, scopings_container
3 streams_container streams_container
4 data_sources Required data_sources
7 mesh abstract_meshed_region, meshes_container
9 requested_location string
14 read_cyclic bool
200 average_across_bodies bool

time_scoping (Pin 0)

time/freq (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.

mesh_scoping (Pin 1)

nodes or elements scoping required in output.

streams_container (Pin 3)

result file container allowed to be kept open to cache data.

data_sources (Pin 4)

result file path container.

mesh (Pin 7)

prevents from reading the mesh in the results file.

requested_location (Pin 9)

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

average the elemental nodal result to the requested location (default is nodal).

read_cyclic (Pin 14)

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

if true, cyclic expansion is done. If false, it's ignored..

average_across_bodies (Pin 200)

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

for multibody simulations, the stresses are averaged across bodies if true or not if false (default).

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 workflow workflow

workflow (Pin 0)

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.

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"

op.connect(9, my_requested_location);
op.connect(14, my_read_cyclic);
op.connect(200, my_average_across_bodies);
ansys::dpf::Workflow my_workflow = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::Workflow>(0);
