Fields

PyFluent provides several services that allow you to access field data in different ways. Every PyFluent solution and meshing Session object contains a fields object. In both solution and meshing modes, the fields object contains field_data and field_data_streaming children. In solution mode, the fields object also has reduction, solution_variable_data and solution_variable_info children.

To help decide between using field_data and solution_variable_data, refer to the dedicated comparison guide.

This guide explains:

• The surface-centric vs. zone-centric perspectives.

• Read vs. read/write capabilities.

• Typical use cases for each API.

• Performance and scope considerations.
