- previously used an indirect patch to get the sampling locations,
but this doesn't take account of the face flips. Now use
the faceZone intrinsic for generating a properly flipped patch
and provide the sampling locations separately.
STYLE: adjust compatiblity header for surfaceMeshWriter
- reduces code, simplifies creation of new, specialized polyData
writers.
- new templated vtk::GenericPatchWriter, which adds support for
writing both uindirectPrimitivePatch + indirectPrimitivePatch types.
- handle geometric fields separately from regular fields with
* vtk:GenericPatchGeoFieldsWriter
* vtk:indirectPatchGeoFieldsWriter
* vtk:uindirectPatchGeoFieldsWriter
Step 1.
include "addAllRegionOptions.H"
Adds the -allRegions, -regions and -region options to argList.
Step 2.
include "getAllRegionOptions.H"
Processes the options with -allRegions selecting everything
from the regionProperties.
OR use -regions to specify multiple regions (from
regionProperties), and can also contain regular expressions
OR use the -region option
Specifying a single -regions NAME (not a regular expresssion)
is the same as -region NAME and doesn't use regionProperties
Creates a `wordList regionNames`
Step 3.
Do something with the region names.
Either directly, or quite commonly with the following
include "createNamedMeshes.H"
Creates a `PtrList<fvMesh> meshes`
STYLE: add description to some central include files
- 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.
- provide relativePath() for argList and for Time.
These are relative to the case globalPath().
Eg,
Info<< "output: " << runTime.relativePath(outputFile) << nl;
- 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
- 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.
