- the ensightReadFile init() now automatically sets up binary/ascii
(for geometry files) and checks for the transient "BEGIN TIME STEP"
marker. If found, will also populate the file offsets for each of
the timesteps. If no corresponding footer is found (which would be
very inefficient), it simply pretends that there is only a single
time step instead of performing a costly file scan.
- parsing of the ensight case file now also supports the use of
filename numbers:
as an alternative to
filename start number:
filename increment:
- improved parsing robustness of "time values:" entry.
Can now also have contents on the same line as the introducer.
ENH: base-level adjustments for writing transient single-file
- beginGeometry() is now separated out from file creation.
- in append mode, ensightFile and ensightGeoFile will attempt to
parse existing time-step information.
- the timeSelector is often used to select single or multiple times
(eg, for post-processing). However, there are a few applications
where only a *single* time should be selected and set.
These are now covered by this type of use:
timeSelector::addOptions_singleTime(); // Single-time options
...
// Allow override of time from specified time options, or no-op
timeSelector::setTimeIfPresent(runTime, args);
In some cases, if can be desirable to force starting from the
initial Time=0 when no time options have been specified:
// Set time from specified time options, or force start from Time=0
timeSelector::setTimeIfPresent(runTime, args, true);
These changes make a number of includes redundant:
* addTimeOptions.H
* checkConstantOption.H
* checkTimeOption.H
* checkTimeOptions.H
* checkTimeOptionsNoConstant.H
ENH: add time handling to setFields, setAlphaField (#3143)
Co-authored-by: Johan Roenby <>
STYLE: replace instant("constant") with instant(0, "constant")
- avoids relying on atof parse behaviour returning zero
- "buffered" corresponds to MPI_Bsend (buffered send),
whereas the old name "blocking" is misleading since the
regular MPI_Send also blocks until completion
(ie, buffer can be reused).
ENH: IPstream::read() returns std::streamsize instead of label (#3152)
- previously returned a 'label' but std::streamsize is consistent with
the input parameter and will help with later adjustments.
- use <label> instead of <int> for internal accounting of the message
size, for consistency with the underyling List<char> buffers used.
- improve handling for corner case of IPstream receive with
non-blocking, although this combination is not used anywhere
- in renumberMesh replace calculation of a subMesh connectivity
with calculation of the full mesh connectivity followed by subsetting
of the full adjacency matrix. This should reduce the overall number of
operations. (MR !669)
- provide no_topology() characteristic to avoid triggering potentially
expensive mesh connectivity calculations when they are not required.
- remove/deprecate unused pointField references from the renumber
methods. These appear to have crept in from outer similarities
with decompositionMethod, but have no meaning for renumbering.
- remove/deprecate various unused aggregation renumberings since these
have been previously replaced by pre-calling calcCellCells, or
using bandCompression directly.
- make regionFaceOrder for block-wise renumbering optional and
treat as experimental (ie, default is now disabled).
The original idea was to sort the intra-region and inter-region faces
separately. However, this will mostly lead to non-upper triangular
ordering between regions, which checkMesh and others don't really like.
ENH: add timing information for various renumberMesh stages
ENH: add reset of clockTime and cpuTime increment
- simplifies section-wise timings
ENH: add globalIndex::null() and fieldTypes::processorType conveniences
- provides more central management of these characteristics
- particularly useful in these combinations:
1.
OCharStream buf;
// populate
ISpanStream is(buf.view());
// parse
2.
// read from file
ifile.getLine(str);
ISpanStream is(str);
// parse
These avoid making a copy of the character content, compared to
versions with stringstream:
OStringStream buf;
IStringStream is(buf.str());
- renumberMesh now has -dry-run, -write-maps, -no-fields,
-renumber-method, -renumber-coeffs options.
* Use -dry-run with -write-maps to visualize the before/after
effects of renumbering (creates a VTK file).
* -no-fields to renumber the mesh only.
This is useful and faster when the input fields are uniform
and the -overwrite option is specified.
* -renumber-method allows a quick means of specifying a different
default renumber method (instead of Cuthill-McKee).
The -renumber-coeffs option allows passing of dictionary content
for the method.
Examples,
// Different ways to specify reverse Cuthill-McKee
* -renumber-method RCM
* -renumber-coeffs 'reverse true;'
* -renumber-method CuthillMcKee
* -renumber-coeffs 'reverse true;'
* -renumber-coeffs 'method CuthillMcKee; reverse true;'
// Other (without dictionary coefficients)
* renumberMesh -renumber-method random
// Other (with dictionary coefficients)
renumberMesh \
-renumber-method spring \
-renumber-coeffs 'maxCo 0.1; maxIter 1000; freezeFraction 0.99;'
// Other (with additional libraries)
renumberMesh -renumber-method zoltan -lib zoltanRenumber
COMP: build zoltan renumbering to MPI-specific location
- zoltan and Sloan renumbering are now longer automatically linked to
the renumberMesh utility but must be separately loaded by a
command-line option or through a dictionary "libs" entry.
ENH: add output cellID for decomposePar -dry-run -cellDist
ENH: eliminate unnecessary duplicate communicator
- in globalMeshData previously had a comm_dup hack to avoid clashes
with deltaCoeffs calculations. However, this was largely due to a
manual implementation of reduce() that used point-to-point
communication. This has since been updated to use an MPI_Allreduce
and now an MPI_Allgather, neither of which need this hack.
- this was previously a UList instead of SubList,
but SubList supports better assignment of values
ENH: add invertOneToManyCompact
- returns a CompactListList<label> instead of labelListList, which
allows for reuse as partitioning table etc and/or slightly reduced
memory overhead
- construct Map/HashTable from key/value lists.
- invertToMap() : like invert() but returns a Map<label>,
which is useful for sparse numbering
- inplaceRenumber() : taking a Map<label> for the mapper
ENH: construct/reset CStringList for list of C-strings
- adjointOptimisation : missing link to fileFormats
- snappyHexMesh : add fvMotionSolvers link (#3058)
STYLE: remove remnant -DFULLDEBUG hints
- now more easily covered with wmake -debug ...
- on large memory systems (eg, 6TB) the process information
exceeds an 'int' range, so adjust parsing of the /proc/..
to use int64
ENH: update/modernize OSspecific system information
ENH: minor update of profiling code
- std::string, noexcept, lazier evaluations
STYLE: use direct call of memInfo
- better code style and seems to avoid triggering a gcc warning about
possibly uninitialized values
COMP: JSONformatter writeEntry missing a return value
STYLE: accept 'json' for checkMesh write format
- consistent with caseInfo functionObject
- static version of polyMesh::meshDir(), which takes a region name
polyMesh::meshDir(regionName)
vs
polyMesh::regionName(regionName)/polyMesh::meshSubDir
STYLE: use polyMesh::regionName(..) instead of comparing to defaultRegion
STYLE: use getOrDefault when retrieving various -region options
FIX: polyMesh::dbDir() now checks registry name, not full path (#3033)
Added -writeChecks <format> option
- writes computed mesh metrics to file in using <format>
- currently supported formats are OpenFOAM dictionary and JSON
- becoming more frequently used and there is no ambiguity in calling
parameters either - identity(label) vs identity(labelUList&).
Provide both int32 and int64 versions.
- drop unnecessary Foam::Swap specializations when MoveConstructible
and MoveAssignable already apply. The explicit redirect to swap
member functions was needed before proper move semantics where
added.
Removed specializations: autoPtr, refPtr, tmp, UList.
Retained specialization: DynamicList, FixedList.
Special handling for DynamicList is only to accommodate dissimilar
sizing template parameters (which probably doesn't occur in
practice).
Special handling for FixedList to apply element-wise swapping.
- use std::swap for primitives. No need to mask with Foam::Swap wrapper
- in most cases a parallel-consistent order is required.
Even when the order is not important, it will generally require
fewer allocations to create a UPtrList of entries instead of a
HashTable or even a wordList.
