serialization:migrate to vtu
Last update: 31.07.2026Version: 0.0.0
Description
Extract all results from a datasources and exports them into vtu format. All the connected inputs are forwarded to the result providers operators.
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> |
|
| 3 | streams_container | streams_container |
|
| 4 | data_sources | Required | data_sources |
| 20 | directory | Required | string |
| 21 | base_name | string |
|
| 30 | result | string |
|
| 100 | write_mode | string |
time_scoping (Pin 0)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
scoping,vector<int32>
time sets to export, default is all
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
directory (Pin 20)
- Required: Yes
- Expected type(s):
string
directory path
base_name (Pin 21)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
string
vtu base file name, (default is file)
result (Pin 30)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
string
if Operator's names are connected to this Pin, only these results are exported (else all available results are exported)
write_mode (Pin 100)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
string
Available are rawbinarycompressed, rawbinary, base64appended, base64inline, ascii, default is (rawbinarycompressed)
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 | path | data_sources |
path (Pin 0)
- Expected type(s):
data_sources
list of output vtu file path
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.
permissive
- Expected type(s):
bool - Default value: true
If this option is set to true, warning checks (like unit or data sizes) won't be done.
Scripting
This operator can be accessed through scripting interfaces using these identifiers.
Category: serialization
Plugin: vtk
Scripting name: None
Full name: None
Internal name: migrate_to_vtu
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.
