result:workflow energy per component

Last update: 31.07.2026

Version: 0.0.0

Description

Calculates the cumulated energy per component (Named Selection). For cyclic and multistage models, the expansion will be automatically done.

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
1 mesh_scoping scoping, scopings_container
2 energy_type int32
3 streams_container Required streams_container
4 data_sources Required data_sources
5 named_selection string

time_scoping (Pin 0)

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

mesh_scoping (Pin 1)

When the input is a scoping, it is treated as the master scoping. All named selections will intersect with it. When the input is a scopings container, named selections will not be needed.

energy_type (Pin 2)

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

Type of energy to be processed: (0: Strain + Kinetic energy (default), 1: Strain energy, 2: Kinetic energy, 3: All energy types)

streams_container (Pin 3)

data_sources (Pin 4)

named_selection (Pin 5)

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

Named Selections. Intersection of all Named Selections with the master scoping will 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 component_energy fields_container
1 component_energy_percentage fields_container
2 component_total_energy fields_container
3 component_total_energy_percentage fields_container
4 component_strain_energy fields_container
5 component_strain_energy_percentage fields_container
6 component_kinetic_energy fields_container
7 component_kinetic_energy_percentage fields_container

component_energy (Pin 0)

component_energy_percentage (Pin 1)

component_total_energy (Pin 2)

component_total_energy_percentage (Pin 3)

component_strain_energy (Pin 4)

component_strain_energy_percentage (Pin 5)

component_kinetic_energy (Pin 6)

component_kinetic_energy_percentage (Pin 7)

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: result

Plugin: mapdl

Scripting name: workflow_energy_per_component

Full name: result.workflow_energy_per_component

Internal name: workflow_energy_per_component
