General Module Function

The combine comp (combine components) module is used to create a new set of nodal data components by selecting components from two separate input data fields. Mesh data from the first input field, if supplied, will be the only mesh data retained in the output. However, the two data fields must have the same scale and origin, and/or number of nodes in the mesh, in order for the output data to have spatial meaning. This module is useful for assimilating data contained in two separate UCD files, or from two different Kriging modules.

Module Input Ports

Combine comp has two input ports. Both of these input ports must contain nodal data fields. If a mesh is present in the first input port data, it will be preserved in the output. Mesh data in the second input port data will be ignored.

Module Output Ports

Combine comp has two output ports. The first output port (closest to the left) outputs a new set of nodal data components reflecting the nodal data components combined from the two input data fields. If mesh data was supplied by the first input field, it will be preserved in the output. The second port (red) outputs a renderable object if the input is faces or lines.

Module Control Panel

The control panel for combine comp is shown in the figure above. Two columns of check boxes are displayed. The left column contains all of the data component fields passed to the first input port. Likewise, the right column contains all of the data components passed to the second input port. A check in the box next to any of these data components indicates a component to be included in the output. By default, the first (0th) data component in each column is selected and all other data components are not selected. Components having the same nodal component label will cause the output to have multiple nodal component labels that are the same. For example, if geo_layer is present and selected in both data component columns, the output will have two geo_layer data components.
