- this is a provision for defining execute actions that can be called
largely independently of the normal time-loop constraints. This can
be useful to provide hooks for sub-cycling, or to define an action
that can be triggered manually or on some other event.
Time: call functionObject 'execute()' and 'end()' for last time-step
Now the operation of functionObject 'end()' call is consistent between running and post-processing
Replaced the 'postProcess' argument to the 'write' and 'execute'
functions with the single static member 'postProcess' in the
functionObject base-class.
the equivalent functionality is provided by the writeRegisteredObject
functionObject in a MUCH simpler, easier and extensible manner.
functionObject: Removed the now redundant 'timeSet' function.
This changes simplifies the specification of functionObjects in
controlDict and is consistent with the 'libs' option in controlDict to
load special solver libraries.
Support for the old 'functionObjectLibs' name is supported for backward compatibility.
- Avoids the need for the 'OutputFilterFunctionObject' wrapper
- Time-control for execution and writing is now provided by the
'timeControlFunctionObject' which instantiates the processing
'functionObject' and controls its operation.
- Alternative time-control functionObjects can now be written and
selected at run-time without the need to compile wrapped version of
EVERY existing functionObject which would have been required in the
old structure.
- The separation of 'execute' and 'write' functions is now formalized in the
'functionObject' base-class and all derived classes implement the
two functions.
- Unnecessary implementations of functions with appropriate defaults
in the 'functionObject' base-class have been removed reducing
clutter and simplifying implementation of new functionObjects.
- The 'coded' 'functionObject' has also been updated, simplified and tested.
- Further simplification is now possible by creating some general
intermediate classes derived from 'functionObject'.
to have the prefix 'write' rather than 'output'
So outputTime() -> writeTime()
but 'outputTime()' is still supported for backward-compatibility.
Also removed the redundant secondary-writing functionality from Time
which has been superseded by the 'writeRegisteredObject' functionObject.
for consistency with the time controls in controlDict and to avoid
unnecessary confusion. All code and tutorials have been updated.
The old names 'outputControl' and 'outputInterval' are but supported for
backward compatibility but deprecated.
Simplified and generalized the handling of functionObjects which fail to
construct by removing them from the list rather than maintaining an
"enabled" switch in each functionObject.
Time::adjustDeltaT(). It allows function objects to manipulate the time step to
dump at adjustable times. The following options are available for output in
function objects: timeStep, outputTime, adjustableTime, runTime, clockTime
and cpuTime.
end of Time::operator++. This allows to know if the next timeIndex will be
a dumping time. The function object "partialWrite" modifyes the write option
of the those fields which will be written down at given intervals of the overall
outout times.
