[General] Integrating data over (independent) surfaces

fportela · November 8, 2015, 18:33

Hello everyone,

I've looked around for an answer to this but without success, so hopefully someone can help me!

I am trying something which is conceptually very simple: I generate a series of spherical shells using the slice filter, I then need to integrate some variable over each of the shells (so, one value per radius).

The straightforward way is to create one shell at a time and integrate, but that's a bit time consuming, so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestion!

Cheers

Hi Felipe,

You achieve this by using Python. First create a pipeline and then loop over different radius values. I think the script in this thread is quite close what you want to do.

Regards,
Mikko
