- generates a vtk file in an ASCII, XML format (blockTopology.vtu).
More information than the equivalent obj file since it includes
connectivity, cell shapes and cell IDs (equivalent to the block
numbers).
- previously introduced `getOrDefault` as a dictionary _get_ method,
now complete the transition and use it everywhere instead of
`lookupOrDefault`. This avoids mixed usage of the two methods that
are identical in behaviour, makes for shorter names, and promotes
the distinction between "lookup" access (ie, return a token stream,
locate and return an entry) and "get" access (ie, the above with
conversion to concrete types such as scalar, label etc).
- Favour use of argList methods that are more similar to dictionary
method names with the aim of reducing the cognitive load.
* Silently deprecate two-parameter get() method in favour of the
more familiar getOrDefault.
* Silently deprecate opt() method in favour of get()
These may be verbosely deprecated in future versions.
- enumerated values are (points | topology) which can be optionally
specified in the blockMeshDict. Default is 'topology'.
If the command-line option `blockMesh -merge-points` is specified,
this has absolute priority over any blockMeshDict entry.
STYLE: changed blockMesh "-blockTopology" option to "-write-obj"
- this is more specific to what it does. Potentially wish to add a
"-write-vtk" option in the future.
TUT: adjust tutorials to use preferred or necessary merge strategies:
* channel395DFSEM - topology
* nozzleFlow2D - points
* pipeCyclic - points
- adds into the include-quoted search list instead the general (-Idir)
search list.
* makes it less subject to ordering (since it will now generally be
searched first) and makes it less subject to how duplicate removal
is implemented. In some compilers (#1627), the last instance of
a duplicate directory would be used and not the first instance.
* removes clutter in some Make/options files
COMP: add missing linkage libraries
- simplified templating, which cleans up code and does not appear to
break any normal user coding.
ENH: unique_ptr instead of homegrown demand-driven handling.
- adjustments to internal handling to improve run-time addition of
other formats (eg, with additional user library)
For example, to write a binary STL with a '.stl' extension:
$ surfaceMeshConvert input.obj -write-format stlb output.stl
Or in a sampler,
to specify the input type without ambiguity:
surf
{
type meshedSurface;
surface sampling.inp;
fileType starcd;
scale 0.001;
...
}
STYLE: regularize naming for input/output scaling
* -read-scale (compat: -scaleIn)
* -write-scale (compat: -scaleOut)
CONFIG: change edge/surface selection name for STARCD format
- now select as "starcd" instead of "inp" to avoid naming ambiguity
with abaqus
- renamed 'core/' -> 'base/' to avoid gitignore masking when re-adding
files
- rename 'nas/' to 'nastran/' for more clarity
- relocated OBJstream from surfMesh to fileFormats
STYLE: remove unused parseNASCoord. Was deprecated 2017-09
- remove (unused) Istream constructors, prune some unused methods,
rationalize write() vs writeDict().
Deprecate inconsistent construction order.
- handle empty names for ".ftr" surface patches (for plain triSurface
format) with double-quoted strings for more reliable streaming.
Written on a single line.
This is _backward_ compatible, but if users have been parsing these
files manually, they will need to adjust their code.
Previously:
```
(
frt-fairing:001%1
empty
windshield:002%2
empty
...
)
```
Updated (with example handling of empty name):
```
(
frt-fairing:001%1 empty
windshield:002%2 ""
...
)
```
- silently deprecate 'startsWith', 'endsWith' methods
(added in 2016: 2b14360662), in favour of
'starts_with', 'ends_with' methods, corresponding to C++20 and
allowing us to cull then in a few years.
- handle single character versions of starts_with, ends_with.
- add single character version of removeEnd and silently deprecate
removeTrailing which did the same thing.
- drop the const versions of removeRepeated, removeTrailing.
Unused and with potential confusion.
STYLE: use shrink_to_fit(), erase()
- this largely reverts 3f0f218d88 and 4ee65d12c4.
Consistent addressing with support for wrapped pointer types (eg,
autoPtr, std::unique_ptr) has proven to be less robust than desired.
Thus rescind HashTable iterator '->' dereferencing (from APR-2019).
- change contiguous from a series of global functions to separate
templated traits classes:
- is_contiguous
- is_contiguous_label
- is_contiguous_scalar
The static constexpr 'value' and a constexpr conversion operator
allow use in template expressions. The change also makes it much
easier to define general traits and to inherit from them.
The is_contiguous_label and is_contiguous_scalar are special traits
for handling data of homogeneous components of the respective types.
