- simplifies local toggling.
- centralize fileModification static variables into IOobject.
They were previously scattered between IOobject and regIOobject
This adds a 'geometry' scheme section to the system/fvSchemes:
geometry
{
type highAspectRatio;
}
These 'fvGeometryMethod's are used to calculate
- deltaCoeffs
- nonOrthoCoeffs
etc and can even modify the basic face/cellCentres calculation.
- returns a range of `int` values that can be iterated across.
For example,
for (const int proci : Pstream::subProcs()) { ... }
instead of
for
(
int proci = Pstream::firstSlave();
proci <= Pstream::lastSlave();
++proci
)
{
...
}
- makes the intent clearer and avoids the need for additional
constructor casting. Eg,
labelList(10, Zero) vs. labelList(10, 0)
scalarField(10, Zero) vs. scalarField(10, scalar(0))
vectorField(10, Zero) vs. vectorField(10, vector::zero)
- nBoundaryFaces() is often used and is identical to
(nFaces() - nInternalFaces()).
- forward the mesh nInternalFaces() and nBoundaryFaces() to
polyBoundaryMesh as nFaces() and start() respectively,
for use when operating on a polyBoundaryMesh.
STYLE:
- use identity() function with starting offset when creating boundary maps.
labelList map
(
identity(mesh.nBoundaryFaces(), mesh.nInternalFaces())
);
vs.
labelList map(mesh.nBoundaryFaces());
forAll(map, i)
{
map[i] = mesh.nInternalFaces() + i;
}
- 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
- relocate some standard functionality to TimePaths to allow a lighter
means of managing time directories without using the entire Time
mechanism.
- optional enableLibs for Time construction (default is on)
and a corresponding argList::noLibs() and "-no-libs" option
STYLE:
- mark Time::outputTime() as deprecated MAY-2016
- use pre-increment for runTime, although there is no difference in
behaviour or performance.
- when constructing dimensioned fields that are to be zero-initialized,
it is preferrable to use a form such as
dimensionedScalar(dims, Zero)
dimensionedVector(dims, Zero)
rather than
dimensionedScalar("0", dims, 0)
dimensionedVector("zero", dims, vector::zero)
This reduces clutter and also avoids any suggestion that the name of
the dimensioned quantity has any influence on the field's name.
An even shorter version is possible. Eg,
dimensionedScalar(dims)
but reduces the clarity of meaning.
- NB: UniformDimensionedField is an exception to these style changes
since it does use the name of the dimensioned type (instead of the
regIOobject).
- 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
splitMeshRegions: handle flipping of faces for surface fields
subsetMesh: subset dimensionedFields
decomposePar: use run-time selection of decomposition constraints. Used to
keep cells on particular processors. See the decomposeParDict in
$FOAM_UTILITIES/parallel/decomposePar:
- preserveBaffles: keep baffle faces on same processor
- preserveFaceZones: keep faceZones owner and neighbour on same processor
- preservePatches: keep owner and neighbour on same processor. Note: not
suitable for cyclicAMI since these are not coupled on the patch level
- singleProcessorFaceSets: keep complete faceSet on a single processor
- refinementHistory: keep cells originating from a single cell on the
same processor.
decomposePar: clean up decomposition of refinement data from snappyHexMesh
reconstructPar: reconstruct refinement data (refineHexMesh, snappyHexMesh)
reconstructParMesh: reconstruct refinement data (refineHexMesh, snappyHexMesh)
redistributePar:
- corrected mapping surfaceFields
- adding processor patches in order consistent with decomposePar
argList: check that slaves are running same version as master
fvMeshSubset: move to dynamicMesh library
fvMeshDistribute:
- support for mapping dimensionedFields
- corrected mapping of surfaceFields
parallel routines: allow parallel running on single processor
Field: support for
- distributed mapping
- mapping with flipping
mapDistribute: support for flipping
AMIInterpolation: avoid constructing localPoints
The deprecated non-const tmp functionality is now on the compiler switch
NON_CONST_TMP which can be enabled by adding -DNON_CONST_TMP to EXE_INC
in the Make/options file. However, it is recommended to upgrade all
code to the new safer tmp by using the '.ref()' member function rather
than the non-const '()' dereference operator when non-const access to
the temporary object is required.
Please report any problems on Mantis.

Moved file path handling to regIOobject and made it type specific so
now every object can have its own rules. Examples:
- faceZones are now processor local (and don't search up anymore)
- timeStampMaster is now no longer hardcoded inside IOdictionary
(e.g. uniformDimensionedFields support it as well)
- the distributedTriSurfaceMesh is properly processor-local; no need
for fileModificationChecking manipulation.
- redistributePar to have almost (complete) functionality of decomposePar+reconstructPar
- low-level distributed Field mapping
- support for mapping surfaceFields (including flipping faces)
- support for decomposing/reconstructing refinement data
