General:
* -roots, -hostRoots, -fileHandler
Specific:
* -to <coordinateSystem> -from <coordinateSystem>
- Display -help-compat when compatibility or ignored options are available
STYLE: capitalization of options text
- use succincter method names that more closely resemble dictionary
and HashTable method names. This improves method name consistency
between classes and also requires less typing effort:
args.found(optName) vs. args.optionFound(optName)
args.readIfPresent(..) vs. args.optionReadIfPresent(..)
...
args.opt<scalar>(optName) vs. args.optionRead<scalar>(optName)
args.read<scalar>(index) vs. args.argRead<scalar>(index)
- the older method names forms have been retained for code compatibility,
but are now deprecated
surfaceBooleanFeatures: use CGAL for intersection
surfaceCheck: write surface zoning as vtk file
surfaceInflate: new utility to offset surface
surfacePatch: replacement for surfaceAutoPatch. Also does cutting of surfaces.
Read only support:
.bdf, .nas - NASTRAN format. Handles both CBEAM and CROD as lines.
CROD is what Hypermesh happens to output.
Write only support:
.vtk - VTK legacy format in ASCII
Read/write support:
.eMesh - native format, which is simply a list of points, edges
with an additional IOobject header that lets them be moved about
easily to use as a featureEdgeMesh.
.inp - STAR-CD inp/cel/vrt combination
IOobject header)
.obj - Alias waverfront format
Radically simplify surfaceFeatureConvert by using the new edgeMesh
functionality.
- can use 'XX.empty()' instead of 'XX.size() == 0', 'XX.size() < 1' or
'XX.size() <= 0' or for simpler coding.
It also has the same number of characters as '!XX.size()' and /might/ be
more readable
- many size checking had 'XX.size() > 0', 'XX.size() != 0', or 'XX.size() >= 1'
when a simple 'XX.size()' suffices
