.. _auto_curve_inverse:

*CREATE A CURVE BY COMPUTING Y=1/Y*
===================================

Computes the element-wise reciprocal of the Y-values of an input curve (Y = 1/Y), leaving X-values unchanged. Use this worker to invert a curve's magnitude axis, for example converting compliance to stiffness or period to frequency.

When to use

Classification: **process**.

Tagged: ``1/Y``, ``curve_transform``, ``element_wise``, ``inverse``, ``reciprocal``.

Inputs

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 20 20 20 20 20 20

   * - Label

     - Required
     - Description
   * - Curve 1
     - curve1
     - vector
     - —
     - 
     - Input curve (X/Y vector) whose Y-values will be inverted; accepts a single Curve or CurveGroup (first curve is used). Optional — leave unconnected only if the worker is being configured standalone.

     - curve_inverse_output_1
     - vector
     - Output curve with the same X-values as the input but with every Y-value replaced by its reciprocal (1/Y); returned as a vector/Curve object.
