OOF2: The Manual

Name

OOF.Mesh.Analyze.Standard_Deviation — Compute the standard deviation of the data over the samples.

Synopsis

OOF.Mesh.Analyze.Standard_Deviation(mesh,time,data,domain,sampling,destination)

Details

  • Parent Menu: OOF.Mesh.Analyze
  • Callback: function _ops_callback in module ooflib.engine.IO.analyzemenu
  • Parameters:

    mesh
    The mesh on which to compute the output Type: The path to an existing Mesh object.
    time
    Time at which to perform the analysis. Type: A floating point number, or the earliest or latest time.
    data
    The output data source. Type: Either a AggregateOutput object, or an Output object whose value is a real number.
    domain
    Where on the mesh to compute the data. Type: An object of the Domain class.
    sampling
    How to sample the domain. Type: An object of the SampleSet class.
    destination
    Where the data should be written. Type: An object of the OutputDestination class.

Description

Compute the standard deviation of the given data over the computational domain. If the data has multiple components, the deviation is computed for each component separately. The destination must be an MessageWindowStream or a OutputStream.

If the sampling is ElementSampleSet or ElementSegmentSampleSet the data is weighted by the Element area or Segment length. Otherwise, all points are given equal weight.

A header will be printed to identify the data. Each line of the header will begin with a comment character, which can be set by OOF.Settings.Output_Formatting.Comment_Character. Multiple columns of data will be separated by a separator character, which can be set by OOF.Settings.Output_Formatting.Separator.

The output line will include the current Mesh time if OOF.Settings.Output_Formatting.Show_Time is set.
