utility:hdf5dpf workflow provider

Last update: 31.07.2026

Version: 0.0.0

Description

Extract a custom result from an hdf5dpf file as an executable workflow.

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
3 streams streams_container
4 data_sources data_sources
24 meta_data abstract_data_tree
60 result_name Required

time_scoping (Pin 0)

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

mesh_scoping (Pin 1)

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

streams (Pin 3)

Hdf5df file stream.

data_sources (Pin 4)

Hdf5df file data source.

meta_data (Pin 24)

meta_data that may be used to evaluate results or extract workflows.

result_name (Pin 60)

  • Required: Yes
  • Expected type(s):

Name of the result that must be extracted from the hdf5dpf file

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 field_or_fields_container workflow

field_or_fields_container (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"

ansys::dpf::Operator op("hdf5::h5dpf::workflow_provider"); // operator instantiation
op.connect(0, my_time_scoping);
op.connect(1, my_mesh_scoping);
op.connect(3, my_streams);
op.connect(4, my_data_sources);
op.connect(24, my_meta_data);
op.connect(60, my_result_name);
ansys::dpf::Workflow my_field_or_fields_container = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::Workflow>(0);
CPython
import ansys.dpf.core as dpf

op = dpf.operators.utility.hdf5dpf_workglow_provider() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.time_scoping.connect(my_time_scoping)
op.inputs.mesh_scoping.connect(my_mesh_scoping)
op.inputs.streams.connect(my_streams)
op.inputs.data_sources.connect(my_data_sources)
op.inputs.meta_data.connect(my_meta_data)
op.inputs.result_name.connect(my_result_name)
my_field_or_fields_container = op.outputs.field_or_fields_container()
IPython
import mech_dpf
import Ans.DataProcessing as dpf

op = dpf.operators.utility.hdf5dpf_workglow_provider() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.time_scoping.Connect(my_time_scoping)
op.inputs.mesh_scoping.Connect(my_mesh_scoping)
op.inputs.streams.Connect(my_streams)
op.inputs.data_sources.Connect(my_data_sources)
op.inputs.meta_data.Connect(my_meta_data)
