Changing field mesh scoping

I have created a field in DPF and now I would like to limit to a subset of the mesh on which it was originally created without recomputing it.

I have tried:

ns_scope = dpf.mesh_scoping_factory.named_selection_scoping('BLADE_N', model)

subset_op = dpf.operators.scoping.rescope() # operator instantiation
subset_op.inputs.fields.connect(stress_skin_nodal)
subset_op.inputs.mesh_scoping.connect(ns_scope)
subset_op.inputs.default_value.connect(0.0)
subset_op.eval()

Which generates an error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
DPFServerException                        Traceback (most recent call last)

Both the field and new scope are nodal based. Using DPF 0.7.2 and ANSYS 2022R2 on Windows.

    Hi @cvaero,

    Based on the error, I suspect the stress_skin_nodal has fields_container as an output. As per the documentation, this shouldn't be an issue with rescope operator but just to be sure, please try using rescope_fcto see if you get the same error.

    Making the change still results in an error:

    ns_scope = dpf.mesh_scoping_factory.named_selection_scoping('BLADE_N', model)

subset_op = dpf.operators.scoping.rescope_fc() # operator instantiation
subset_op.inputs.fields_container.connect(stress_skin_nodal)
subset_op.inputs.mesh_scoping.connect(ns_scope)
subset_op.inputs.default_value.connect(0.0)

subset_op.eval()

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

----> 4 subset_op.inputs.fields_container.connect(stress_skin_nodal)
      5 subset_op.inputs.mesh_scoping.connect(ns_scope)
      6 subset_op.inputs.default_value.connect(0.0)

File c:\users\e092220\.venv\3.9.6\fcdslib-ansys22r2\lib\site-packages\ansys\dpf\core\inputs.py:113, in Input.connect(self, inpt)
    106     err_str = (
    107         f"The input operator for the {self._spec.name} pin must be "
    108         "one of the following types:\n"
    109     )
    110     err_str += "\n".join(
    111         [f"- {py_type}" for py_type in self._python_expected_types]
    112     )
--> 113     raise TypeError(err_str)
    115 from ansys.dpf.core.results import Result
    117 if isinstance(inpt, _Outputs):

TypeError: The input operator for the fields_container pin must be one of the following types:
- FieldsContainer

    Keep in mind that stress_skin_nodal is a field. It is not a fields container and it is not an operator. I have attached the Jupyter notebook that contains the rest of the code if that would be of any help.
