averaging:elemental nodal to nodal (fields container)

Version: 0.0.0

Description​

Transforms Elemental Nodal fields into Nodal fields using an averaging process. The result is computed on a given node's scoping. If the input fields are mixed shell/solid, then the fields are split by element shape and the output fields container has an elshape label depending on the merge_solid_shell input.

Inputs​

InputNameExpected type(s)Description
Pin 0
Required
fields_containerfields_container
Pin 1meshabstract_meshed_region, meshes_containerThe mesh region in this pin is used to perform the averaging. It is used if there is no fields support.
Pin 2should_averageboolEach nodal value is divided by the number of elements linked to this node (default is true for discrete quantities).
Pin 3scopingscoping, scopings_containerAverage only on these nodes. If it is a scoping container, the label must correspond to the one of the fields containers.
Pin 4extend_to_mid_nodesboolCompute mid nodes (when available) by averaging the neighbour primary nodes.
Pin 5extend_weights_to_mid_nodesboolExtends weights to mid nodes (when available). Default is false.
Pin 26merge_solid_shellboolFor shell/solid mixed fields, group in the same field all solids and shells (false by default). If this pin is true, a shell_layer needs to be specified.
Pin 27shell_layerint320: Top, 1: Bottom, 2: TopBottom, 3: Mid, 4: TopBottomMid. If merge_solid_shell is true, this pin needs to be specified to a value that extracts only one layer (Top, Bottom or Mid).

Outputs​

OutputNameExpected type(s)Description
Pin 0fields_containerfields_container
Pin 1weightsclass dataProcessing::DpfTypeCollection<class dataProcessing::CPropertyField>Gives for each node, the number of times it was found in the Elemental Nodal field. Can be used to average later.

Configurations​

NameExpected type(s)Default valueDescription
mutexboolfalseIf this option is set to true, the shared memory is prevented from being simultaneously accessed by multiple threads.
num_threadsint320Number of threads to use to run in parallel
run_in_parallelbooltrueLoops are allowed to run in parallel if the value of this config is set to true.
