- ensure that the string-related classes have consistently similar
matching methods. Use operator()(const std::string) as an entry
point for the match() method, which makes it easier to use for
filters and predicates. In some cases this will also permit using
a HashSet as a match predicate.
regExp
====
- the set method now returns a bool to signal that the requested
pattern was compiled.
wordRe
====
- have separate constructors with the compilation option (was previously
a default parameter). This leaves the single parameter constructor
explicit, but the two parameter version is now non-explicit, which
makes it easier to use when building lists.
- renamed compile-option from REGEX (to REGEXP) for consistency with
with the <regex.h>, <regex> header names etc.
wordRes
====
- renamed from wordReListMatcher -> wordRes. For reduced typing and
since it behaves as an entity only slightly related to its underlying
list nature.
- Provide old name as typedef and include for code transition.
- pass through some list methods into wordRes
hashedWordList
====
- hashedWordList[const word& name] now returns a -1 if the name is is
not found in the list of indices. That has been a pending change
ever since hashedWordList was generalized out of speciesTable
(Oct-2010).
- add operator()(const word& name) for easy use as a predicate
STYLE: adjust parameter names in stringListOps
- reflect if the parameter is being used as a primary matcher, or the
matcher will be derived from the parameter.
For example,
(const char* re), which first creates a regExp
versus (const regExp& matcher) which is used directly.
- in specific cases it can be useful to suppress searching the instances.
For example, if one only wishes to check if a "points" is available at
the given time instance, without searching backwards through all
times.
- There will be triangles rendered inside the mesh (when
surface-rendering), because one of the cell's triangles is defined
as a quadrangle in VTK_WEDGE.
- Therefore, this VTK_WEDGE representation is only used when
decomposing the mesh, otherwise the correct representation is done
by VTK_POLYHEDRON.
- Furthermore, using VTK_PYRAMID gave worse result, because it renders
2 triangles inside the mesh for the collapsed quadrangle, likely due
to mismatch with the adjacent cell's face.
- Using VTK_HEXAHEDRON was not tested in this iteration, given that it
should give even worse results, when compared to using VTK_PYRAMID.

Resolves bug-report http://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2099
- manifest in some parallel operations.
STYLE: update foamToEnsight, foamToEnsightParts to use C++ initializer_list
- avoid warning message when removing a non-existent directory (ensight output).
- Use ensightCase for case writing.
Rebase ensightPartCells/ensightPartFaces on
ensightCells/ensightFaces routines.
- Greatly reduces code duplication potential source of errors.
- eliminate ensightAsciiStream, ensightBinaryStream, ensightStream in
favour of using ensightFile and ensightGeoFile classes throughout.
- encapsulate mesh-parts sorting with the ensightCells, ensightFaces
class.
- handle of patches/faceZones entirely within ensightMesh for a lighter
interaction with field output. Both faceZones and point fields need
more testing to see if they behave properly for all cases.
- move some output functionality into its own namespace
'ensightOutput', move into a library.
- use the ensightCase class to open new ensight output streams
in the proper sub-directory locations.
- Place common code under OSspecific.
By including "endian.H", either one of WM_BIG_ENDIAN or WM_LITTLE_ENDIAN
will be defined.
Provides inline 32-bit and 64-bit byte swap routines that can be
used/re-used elsewhere.
The inplace memory swaps currently used by the VTK output are left for
the moment pending further cleanup of that code.
- Less looping when detecting lagrangian clouds and their fields.
- Avoid using Time::setTime() and IOobjectList in tight loops.
They both kill performance immensely.
ENH: provide a -noLagrangian option to foamToEnsight and foamToEnsightParts
for even more control.
- The new field needs initialization with a dimensioned<Type> not just
the dimensionSet.
- The new field was also incorrectly being registered, which could
cause issues later.
Old code:
Found 10990 time steps
Search for moving mesh ... no moving mesh detected.
Startup in 329.09 s
Updated:
Found 10990 time steps
Search for moving mesh ... no moving mesh detected.
Startup in 1.6 s
- Cause was checking "polyMesh/points" via an IOobject.
Short-circuit with a check for a polyMesh/ directory first.
Limit the check to the master-node as well to further reduce
load on the file-system.
------------------------------
ENH: improve per-step conversion times for foamToEnsight.
Old code:
Converting 11001 time steps
Time [0] = 0 Wrote in 1.53 s
Time [1] = 1 Wrote in 1.52 s
...
Time [100] = 100 Elapsed time 205.35 s
Updated:
Converting 11001 time steps
Time [0] = 0 Wrote in 1.4 s
Time [1] = 1 Wrote in 0.07 s
...
Time [100] = 100 Elapsed time 42.4 s
- Speedup by hashing test results from the first conversion step
instead of checking each time.
Check data on all nodes to avoid problems with incomplete writes.
------------------------------
BUG: moving mesh detection failed for foamToEnsightParts
- adjusted to agree with updated foamToEnsight
------------------------------
Note:
- foamToEnsightParts (serial) still has about twice the throughput of
foamToEnsight.
- Default is a width of 8 characters, but this can be extended up to 31
characters via the '-width' command-line option.
- Now use a similar structure as foamToEnsightParts for the masking.
This reduces the clutter within the directory, makes it easier to
selectively delete some time steps (using shell commands).
- Added in a "time" information data in each sub-directory to
make it possible to reconstruct the case file with an external
script.
- Conversion of cloud data should now also work in parallel
(may need more testing).
- Support binary output for cloud data.
- Better avoidance of illegal ensight variable names.
But still partially incomplete (due to patch fields).
==================================================
Example of NEW file structure:
EnSight/verticalChannel.case # case name
EnSight/geometry # for non-moving geometry
EnSight/data/ # time-varying data
EnSight/data/00000000/
EnSight/data/00000001/
...
Fields are stored by name within the data/********/ directories:
EnSight/data/00000001/time # human-readable time info
EnSight/data/00000001/U
EnSight/data/00000001/p
...
EnSight/data/00000001/geometry # for moving geometry
Clouds are stored at the next sub-directory level:
EnSight/data/00000001/lagrangian/<cloudName>/positions
EnSight/data/00000001/lagrangian/<cloudName>/U
...
==================================================
The old structure was significantly more cluttered:
EnSight/verticalChannel.case
EnSight/verticalChannel.0000.mesh
EnSight/verticalChannel.0001.p
EnSight/verticalChannel.0001.<cloudName>
EnSight/verticalChannel.0001.<cloudName>.U
==================================================
The normal library system() command uses 'fork', which causes
problems on IB+OPENMPI.
STYLE: add Foam:: qualifier to system calls to make them easier to spot.
Replaced the 'postProcess' argument to the 'write' and 'execute'
functions with the single static member 'postProcess' in the
functionObject base-class.
Generally fields and objects are selected using the 'field[s]' and
'object[s]' keywords but this was not consistent between all
functionObject, fvOptions etc. and now fixed by applying the following
renaming:
fieldName -> field
fieldNames -> fields
objectName -> object
objectNames -> objects
