node data to cell data

The node data to cell data module is used to translate nodal data components to cell data components. Cell data components are data components which are associated with cells rather than nodes. Most modules in EVS that deal with analytical or continuum data support node based data, and those that deal with geology (lithology) tend to use cell data. Therefore, node data to cell data can be used to translate nodal data to cell data.

Ports

Direction	Name	Type	Description
Input	Input Field	Field	The field to use for conversion.
Output	Output Field	Field	The field containing the mapped data and the converted cell data.
Output	Output Object	Renderable	A renderable object to display.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
Allow Run	Boolean	The Allow Run Toggle will prevent the module from running. This allows the user to make multiple changes without the module constantly updating.
Execute	Button	The Run Once button will cause the module to run one time even if the Allow Run toggle has been turned off.
Node Components To Convert	Multi-select	The Node Components To Convert control allows the user to select which nodal data to convert to cell data.
Output Nodal Data	Choice: Preserve All Node Data, Remove Converted Node Data, Remove All Node Data	The Output Nodal Data option allows the user to specify how to handle input nodal data in the output.
Conversion Type	Choice: Average Values, Majority Values	The Conversion Type allows the user to specify which type of conversion algorithm to use. The first choice is the average value of the nodes connected to each cell. The second choice is to use the value that most nodes have in common; if the nodes all have unique values the smallest value is used.
