locateModel_engineSearch command

Syntax:

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

locateModel engine;
engineProps
{
    faceDecomp switch1;
    treeSearch switch2;
} 

• switch1 = time to start the averaging (default 0)
• switch2 = names of the finite volume scalar fields to be temporally averaged

Examples:

locateModel engine;
engineProps
{
    faceDecomp false;
    treeSearch false;
} 

Description:

The locateModel "engine" locates the CFD cell and cellID corresponding to a given position. The engineSearch locate Model can be used with different settings to use different algorithms:

• faceDecomp false; treeSearch false; will execute some geometric (linear) search using the last known cellID (recommended)
• faceDecomp false; treeSearch true; will use a recursive tree structure to find the cell.

Restrictions: none.
