GET IDS FROM SET¶
Queries a simulation’s mesh to find all shell element IDs whose centroids fall within a specified search radius of a given X,Y,Z coordinate. Use this worker to spatially locate shell elements near a point of interest (e.g., an impact site or sensor location) for downstream post-processing or result extraction.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simulation | input_sim_id | remote_lookup | — | ✓ | Reference to one or more simulations (remote lookup against the simulations datastore) whose mesh will be spatially queried; at least one simulation must be selected. |
| Coordinates | coords | text | — | ✓ | Comma-separated X, Y, Z coordinate string (e.g. ‘10.5,0.0,-3.2’) defining the centre point of the spatial search; must match the mesh’s coordinate system units. |
| Pid | pid | text | 1 | Part ID (integer) used to filter the shell element search to a specific part; defaults to 1 — change when the elements of interest belong to a different part. | |
| Search Radius | search_radius | text | 0.1 | Radius (in model units) around the specified coordinates within which shell element centroids are considered matching; defaults to 0.1 — increase for coarser meshes or larger regions of interest. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shell Ids | shell_ids | dataset | Dataset containing the integer IDs of all shell elements whose centroids lie within the specified search radius of the given coordinates, suitable for use as a filter or selector in downstream extraction workers. |
