- when running in serial but within a processor directory,
argList::globalPath() is to be used instead of Time.globalPath()
For other cases there is no difference.
- changed ensightOutput from a class solely comprising static methods to
a namespace and added in sub-namespaces Detail and Serial.
This makes it easier to "mix-in" functions at different levels.
Refactored and combined some serial/parallel code where possible.
The general ensightOutput namespace has now shifted to be in the
fileFormats lib, while leaving volField outputs in the conversion lib
and cloud outputs in the lagrangian-intermediate lib.
The ensightCloud namespace is now simply folded into the new
ensightOutput namespace.
These changes clean up some code, reduce fragmentation and
duplication and removes the previous libconversion dependency for
sampling.
- use int for ensight nTypes constexpr
Note: issue #1176 is unaffected except for the change in file name:
ensightOutputTemplates.C -> ensightOutputVolFieldTemplates.C
- provide relativePath() for argList and for Time.
These are relative to the case globalPath().
Eg,
Info<< "output: " << runTime.relativePath(outputFile) << nl;
- 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)
- change previous default (convert all faceZones unless -noFaceZones
specified) with the default behaviour to only convert face zones on
request.
- uses the '-faceZones' option as per foamToEnsight
- use cellCentres() instead of volField equivalent for vtk conversion
- make looping variables more consistent
- centralize the transcription of OpenFOAM -> vtk tuples
- provide default WM_DIR if not already set, to improve robustness if a
reduced environment is used
- add etc/ to WM_PROJECT_SITE search. This makes the site directory
structure consistent with the OpenFOAM structure.
Eg,
WM_PROJECT_SITE/etc/..
WM_PROJECT_SITE/bin/..
WM_PROJECT_SITE/platforms/..
- Don't set/export WM_OSTYPE. The default is POSIX and is properly
defaulted throughout, including in CMakeLists-OpenFOAM.txt (also for
Catalyst)
- removed reliance on ParaView_INCLUDE_DIR variable for conveying the
major.minor version information when compiling. This can be somewhat
fragile and also adds variable that is an unnecessary when running
(only used when compiling).
Instead use `have_pvplugin_support` function in paraviewFunctions
wmake script to determine the maj.min from the PV_PLUGIN_PATH
since we have already defined the output path there with paraview
maj.min numbering.
Can now build with paraview from the operating system,
provided that it has develop headers available.
ParaView_VERSION=system
In the etc/config.sh/paraview setup, the maj.min is taken from
the corresponding `paraview --version` output and used when
defining the PV_PLUGIN_PATH.
During the build, the include path taken from `paraview-config`
for a system installation, from the guess installation root
of the paraview binary, or ParaView_DIR otherwise.
NB: using a system ParaView for building runTimePostProcessing is unsupported.
- these types of builds appear to have various library resolution issues
(eg, libexpat not being loaded). Additionally, the build logic does
not yet cover this type of use case.
- cfindObject() for const pointer access.
- getObject() for mutable non-const pointer access, similar to the
objectRegistry::getObjectPtr()
- cfindObject(), findObject(), getObject() with template type access
to also check the headerClassName.
For example,
cfindObject("U") -> good
cfindObject<volVectorField>("U") -> good
cfindObject<volScalarField>("U") -> nullptr
This allows inversion of looping logic.
1) Obtain the names for a particular Type
for (const word& objName : objs.sortedNames<Type>())
{
const IOobject* io = objs[objName];
...
}
2) Use previously obtained names and apply to a particular Type
for (const word& objName : someListOfNames)
{
const IOobject* io = objs.cfindObject<Type>(objName);
if (io)
{
...
}
}
- vtkWrite with moving mesh was not updated the subsets properly,
which caused it to crash.
- foamToVTK -overwrite ignored for single region cases,
was working for multi-region cases
- minor documentation changes
- Default format is now XML binary (base64) instead of legacy format.
The old -xml option is redundant and ignored.
The new -legacy option can be used to force legacy output instead.
- Polyhedral decomposition is now off by default (old -poly is ignored).
The option -poly-decomp forces decomposition of polyhedrals into
primitive shapes.
- reduced memory footprint by reading and converting fields
successively.
- Creation of symlinks to processor files is no longer required or
desired. The old -noLinks option is ignored.
- Ignore -useTimeName option. Always number according to timeIndex.
- parallel list output for foamVtkOutput
- simplified '.series' file output
- beginDataArray() method instead of openDataArray() + closeTag()
since this seems to be the most common use anyhow.
With an optional argument for leaving the tag open, this works the
same as openDataArray() which may be deprecated in the future.
- begin/end methods for CellData, PointData, FieldData (commonly used)
- templating parameters for file headers, content version,
legacy fields. This improves coding robustness and convenience of use.
- use formatter and higher-level methods for legacy output
- attribute quoting character now part of the formatter itself
instead of as an argument for xmlAttr().
Toggle with quoting() method.
- pair-wise processing of xml attributes, which also allows them to be
passed as optional entries when creating an xml tag.
- xmlComment with multiple arguments
- use std::string instead of c-string for the string constants
- centralize some definitions of resources into foamVersion.H
Now expose some of the hard-coded values used in foamEtcFiles()
so that they can be known or even overridden as required.
Relocate to src/OpenFOAM/include as a constant location.
