FieldData.get_surface_data(data_type, surface_ids=None, surface_name=None, overset_mesh=False)

Get surface data (vertices, faces connectivity, centroids, and normals).

Parameters:
data_typeSurfaceDataType

SurfaceDataType Enum member.

surface_idsList[int], optional

List of surface IDs for the surface data.

surface_namestr, optional

Surface name for the surface data.

overset_meshbool, optional

Whether to provide the overset method. The default is False.

Returns:
Union[Vertices, FacesConnectivity, FacesNormal, FacesCentroid,
Dict[int, Union[Vertices, FacesConnectivity, FacesNormal, FacesCentroid]]]

If a surface name is provided as input, face vertices, connectivity data, and normal or centroid data are returned. If surface IDs are provided as input, a dictionary containing a map of surface IDs to face vertices, connectivity data, and normal or centroid data is returned.
