utility:merge fields into field matrix

Last update: 31.07.2026

Version: 0.0.0

Description

Assembles a set of fields into a field matrix.

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 fields Required vector<shared_ptr<field>>, field, fields_container

fields (Pin 0)

Either a fields container, a vector of fields to merge, or fields from pin 0 to ...

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 merged_field_matrix field

merged_field_matrix (Pin 0)

  • Expected type(s): field

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("merge::to_field_matrix"); // operator instantiation
op.connect(0, my_fields);
ansys::dpf::Field my_merged_field_matrix = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::Field>(0);
CPython
import ansys.dpf.core as dpf

op = dpf.operators.utility.merge_to_field_matrix() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.fields1.connect(my_fields1)
op.inputs.fields2.connect(my_fields2)
my_merged_field_matrix = op.outputs.merged_field_matrix()
IPython
import mech_dpf
import Ans.DataProcessing as dpf

op = dpf.operators.utility.merge_to_field_matrix() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.fields.Connect(my_fields)
my_merged_field_matrix = op.outputs.merged_field_matrix.GetData()
