utility:convert to meshes container
Last update: 31.07.2026Version: 0.0.0
Description
Creates a meshes container containing the mesh provided on pin 0.
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 | mesh | Required | abstract_meshed_region, meshes_container |
| 1 | label | Required | label_space |
mesh (Pin 0)
- Required: Yes
- Expected type(s):
abstract_meshed_region,meshes_container
If a meshes container is set in input, it is passed on as an output with the additional label space (if any).
label (Pin 1)
- Required: Yes
- Expected type(s):
label_space
Sets a label space.
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 | meshes_container | meshes_container |
meshes_container (Pin 0)
- Expected type(s):
meshes_container
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("InjectToMeshesContainer"); // operator instantiation
op.connect(0, my_mesh);
op.connect(1, my_label);
ansys::dpf::MeshesContainer my_meshes_container = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::MeshesContainer>(0);
CPython
import ansys.dpf.core as dpf
op = dpf.operators.utility.mesh_to_mc() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.mesh.connect(my_mesh)
op.inputs.label.connect(my_label)
my_meshes_container = op.outputs.meshes_container()
IPython
import mech_dpf
import Ans.DataProcessing as dpf
op = dpf.operators.utility.mesh_to_mc() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.mesh.Connect(my_mesh)
op.inputs.label.Connect(my_label)
my_meshes_container = op.outputs.meshes_container.GetData()
