get_scalar_field_value#

PostProcessor.get_scalar_field_value(quantity_name, scalar_function='Maximum', solution=None, variation_dict=None, isvector=False, intrinsics=None, phase=None, object_name='AllObjects', object_type='volume', adjacent_side=False)[source]#

Use the field calculator to Compute Scalar of a Field.

Parameters:

quantity_namestr: Name of the quantity to export. For example, "Temp".
scalar_functionstr, optional: The name of the scalar function. For example, "Maximum", "Integrate". The default is "Maximum".
solutionstr, optional: Name of the solution in the format "solution : sweep". The default is None.
variation_dictdict, optional: Dictionary of all variation variables with their values. e.g. ['power_block:=', ['0.6W'], 'power_source:=', ['0.15W']] The default is None.
isvectorbool, optional: Whether the quantity is a vector. The default is False.
intrinsicsstr, optional: This parameter is mandatory for a frequency field calculation. The default is None.
phasestr, optional: Field phase. The default is None.
object_namestr, optional: Name of the object. For example, "Box1". The default is "AllObjects".
object_typestr, optional: Type of the object - "volume", "surface", "point". The default is "volume".
adjacent_sidebool, optional: To query quantity value on adjacent side for object_type = “surface”, pass True. The default is False.

Returns:

float: True when successful, False when failed.
