class SurfaceIntegralOutput

Bases: _OutputBase

SurfaceIntegralOutput class for surface integral output settings.

Note

SurfaceIntegralOutput can only be used with UserDefinedField. See User Defined Postprocessing Tutorial for more details about how to set up UserDefinedField.

Example

Define SurfaceIntegralOutput of PressureForce.

>>> fl.SurfaceIntegralOutput(
...     name="surface_integral",
...     output_fields=["PressureForce"],
...     entities=[volume_mesh["wing1"], volume_mesh["wing2"]],
... )

Default:

'Surface integral output'

entities: EntityList[Surface, MirroredSurface, GhostSurface, WindTunnelGhostSurface, GhostCircularPlane, GhostSphere, ImportedSurface]

List of boundaries where the surface integral will be calculated.

moving_statistic: MovingStatistic, optional

When specified, report moving statistics of the fields instead.

Default:

None
