(This module is available only in MVS)
General Module Function
merge_fields combines the input fields from up to 4 separate inputs into a unified single field with any number of nodal data components, which can be output to virtually any filter or mapper module, OR directly to the Viewer. This is useful when you want to slice through or otherwise subset multiple fields using the same criteria or object.
Module Input Ports
merge_fields has four identical input ports. Each port can accept any type of mesh with nodal data. At least two input ports must be used and up to four can be used. The first port is closest to the left and the ports are numbered sequentially in ascending order to the right. The nodal data components must be in the same order (not all must be selected) and must correspond to the same criteria in order for the output to make sense.
Module Output Ports
merge_fields has two output ports. The first output port (closest to the left) outputs a mesh containing the merged input fields. The second port outputs a renderable object.
Module Control Panel
The control panel for merge_fields is shown in the figure above. For each field input, you must select the data components you want in the output. Be sure that the order of components is identical in each list. If the "Run Immediately" toggle is on, as soon as the number of components for each field is the same, the module will run automatically. Otherwise, merge_fields will run when you push accept.
