ProjectedArea

class ProjectedArea

Bases: Flow360BaseModel

Recipe for automatically computing a projected reference area.

Attributes

surfaces: EntityList[Surface]

Explicit surfaces and surface selectors used for the projected-area calculation.

direction: Literal['X', 'Y', 'Z']

Global projection direction.

Default:

'X'

render_quality: Literal['low', 'medium', 'high', 'ultra']

Raster resolution used for projected-area calculation, and therefore the accuracy of the result. The area counts whole pixels of a rasterized silhouette, so the error is proportional to pixel size: each step up halves it, at roughly four times the computation.

Default:

'medium'

Properties

computed: Area.PositiveFloat64 | None

Return the latest computed result, if automatic calculation has run.

Additional Constructors

preprocess(*, params=None, exclude=None, required_by=None, flow360_unit_system=None)

Preserve and nondimensionalize the output-only result for translation.

Parameters:

• params (Any)

• exclude (list[str] | None)

• required_by (list[str] | None)

• flow360_unit_system (Any)

Return type:
