- The writers have changed from being a generic state-less set of
routines to more properly conforming to the normal notion of a writer.
These changes allow us to combine output fields (eg, in a single
VTK/vtp file for each timestep).
Parallel data reduction and any associated bookkeeping is now part
of the surface writers.
This improves their re-usability and avoids unnecessary
and premature data reduction at the sampling stage.
It is now possible to have different output formats on a per-surface
basis.
- A new feature of the surface sampling is the ability to "store" the
sampled surfaces and fields onto a registry for reuse by other
function objects.
Additionally, the "store" can be triggered at the execution phase
as well
- the checking for point-connected multiple-regions now also writes the
conflicting points to a pointSet
- with the -writeSets option it now also reconstructs & writes pointSets
In parallel the sets are reconstructed. e.g.
mpirun -np 6 checkMesh -parallel -allGeometry -allTopology -writeSets vtk
will create a postProcessing/ folder with the vtk files of the
(reconstructed) faceSets and cellSets.
Also improved analysis of disconnected regions now also checks for point
connectivity with is useful for detecting if AMI regions have duplicate
points.
