- naming similar to objectRegistry, with unambiguous resolution.
The lookup() methods have different return types depending on the
calling parameter.
STYLE: use IOobjectListTemplates.C for implementations
- previously included as local definition within IOobjectList.C,
but will be adding more templated methods soon.
- adjust parameters (eg, matchName instead of matcher) to show their
function
ENH: handle objectRegistry::names<void>(...)
- this is equivalent to no Type restriction, and can be used when
filtering names. Eg,
obr.names<void>(wordRe..);
- With argList::noFunctionObjects() we use the logic added in
4b93333292 (issue #352)
By removing the '-noFunctionObjects' option, we automatically
suppress the creation of function-objects via Time (with argList
as a parameter).
There is generally no need in these cases for an additional
runTime.functionObjects().off() statement
Use the argList::noFunctionObjects() for more direct configuration
and reduce unnecessary clutter in the -help information.
In previous versions, the -noFunctionObjects would have been redundant
anyhow, so we can also just ignore it now instead.
General:
* -roots, -hostRoots, -fileHandler
Specific:
* -to <coordinateSystem> -from <coordinateSystem>
- Display -help-compat when compatibility or ignored options are available
STYLE: capitalization of options text
- both autoPtr and tmp are defined with an implicit construct from
nullptr (but with explicit construct from a pointer to null).
Thus is it safe to use 'nullptr' when returning an empty autoPtr or tmp.
- use succincter method names that more closely resemble dictionary
and HashTable method names. This improves method name consistency
between classes and also requires less typing effort:
args.found(optName) vs. args.optionFound(optName)
args.readIfPresent(..) vs. args.optionReadIfPresent(..)
...
args.opt<scalar>(optName) vs. args.optionRead<scalar>(optName)
args.read<scalar>(index) vs. args.argRead<scalar>(index)
- the older method names forms have been retained for code compatibility,
but are now deprecated
- This provides a mechanism for moving mesh patches based on external
input (eg, from an external structures solver). The patch points are
influenced by the position and rotation of the lumped points.
BC: lumpedPointDisplacementPointPatchVectorField
Controlling mechanisms:
- externalCoupler
for coordinating the master/slave
- lumpedPointMovement
manages the patch-points motion, but also for extracting forces/moments
- lumpedPointState
represents the positions/rotations of the controlling points
Utils:
- lumpedPointZones
diagnostic for visualizing the correspondence between controlling
points and patch faces
- lumpedPointMovement
Test that the patch motion is as desired without invoking moveMesh.
With the -slave option, return items from a precalculated table
for the lumpedPointDisplacementPointPatchVectorField BC.
