ens_calculator.dist2partelem(source_parts: List[ENS_PART] | List[int] | List[str] | ENS_PART | int | str, origin_part_number: int, optional_origin_part_normal: ENS_VAR | str | int, output_varname: str | None = None) → ENS_VAR

Computes a nodal scalar variable defined as the smallest Euclidean distance from the elements of the origin part to the nodes of the parts specified. If a vector is given the result will be signed.

Args:

source_parts:

Select origin part and field part(s), or enter the origin part number and the field part number(s).

origin_part_number:

Enter the origin part number. This part must also be in the previous part list.

optional_origin_part_normal:

To select a signed distance, a nodal normal vector for the origin part or choose None to compute an unsigned distance.

output_varname:

The name of the newly created variable

Returns:

New ENS_VAR instance or None
