Notes

Point to field functions act on points to produce fields:

f: \left| \begin{array}{rcl} \Rset^{d} & \rightarrow & \cM_{N'} \times (\Rset^{d'})^{N'} \\ \vect{v} & \mapsto & F' \end{array} \right.

with \cM_{N'} a mesh of \cD' \subset \Rset^{n'}.

A field is represented by a collection (\vect{t}'_i, \vect{v}'_i)_{1 \leq i \leq N'} of elements of \cM_{N'} \times (\Rset^{d'})^{N'} where \vect{t}'_i is a vertex of \cM_{N'} and \vect{v}'_i the associated value in \Rset^{d'}.

The two first constructors build an object which evaluation operator is not defined (it throws a NotYetImplementedException). The instanciation of such an object is used to extract an actual PointToFieldFunction from a Study.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot

Use the class OpenTURNSPythonPointToFieldFunction to create a function that acts a vector \vect{v} of dimension d=2 and returns a field defined by:

  • the mesh that discretizes [0, 1] into 10 regular intervalls of length 0.1 (n=1)

  • the value associated to the vertex number i is \vect{v}'_i = i*\vect{v} (d'=2)

Using the class OpenTURNSPythonFieldToPointFunction allows to define a persistent state between the evaluations of the function.

>>> class FUNC(ot.OpenTURNSPythonPointToFieldFunction):
...     def __init__(self):
...         mesh = ot.RegularGrid(0.0, 0.1, 11)
...         super(FUNC, self).__init__(2, mesh, 2)
...         self.setInputDescription(['R', 'S'])
...         self.setOutputDescription(['T', 'U'])
...     def _exec(self, X):
...         size = self.getOutputMesh().getVerticesNumber()
...         Y = [ot.Point(X)*i for i in range(size)]
...         return Y
>>> F = FUNC()

Create the associated PointToFieldFunction:

>>> myFunc = ot.PointToFieldFunction(F)

It is also possible to create a PointToFieldFunction from a python function as follows:

>>> mesh = ot.RegularGrid(0.0, 0.1, 11)
>>> def myPyFunc(X):
...     size = 11
...     Y = [ot.Point(X)*i for i in range(size)]
...     return Y
>>> inputDim = 2
>>> outputDim = 2
>>> myFunc = ot.PythonPointToFieldFunction(inputDim, mesh, outputDim, myPyFunc)

Evaluation the function on a vector:

>>> Yfield = myFunc([1.1, 2.2])
