Description
Allows specification of different writing frequency of objects registered
to the database.
It has similar functionality as the main time database through the
\c writeControl setting:
- timeStep
- writeTime
- adjustableRunTime
- runTime
- clockTime
- cpuTime
It also has the ability to write the selected objects that were defined
with the respective write mode for the requested \c writeOption, namely:
- \c autoWrite - objects set to write at output time
- \c noWrite - objects set to not write by default
- \c anyWrite - any option of the previous two
Example of function object specification:
\verbatim
writeObjects1
{
type writeObjects;
libs ("libutilityFunctionObjects.so");
...
objects (obj1 obj2);
writeOption anyWrite;
}
\endverbatim

Resolves bug-report http://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2090
- Allows passing of additional information (per-face zone ids) or possibly
other things, while reducing the number of arguments to pass.
- In sampledTriSurfaceMesh, preserve the region information that was
read in, passing it onwards via the UnsortedMeshSurface content.
The Nastran surface writer is currently the only writer making use
of this per-face zone information.
Passing it through as a PSHELL attribute, which should retain the
distinction for parts. (issue #204)
Now the functionality to write single graph files or log files (vs time)
may be used in the creation of any form of functionObject, not just
those relating to a mesh region.
Replaced the 'postProcess' argument to the 'write' and 'execute'
functions with the single static member 'postProcess' in the
functionObject base-class.
The use of the term 'source' in the context of post-processing is
confusing and does not properly describe the process of region
selection. The new names 'surfaceRegion' and 'volRegion' better
describe the purpose of the functionObjects which is to provide field
processing functionality limited to a specified region of space, either
a surface or volume.
The keyword 'source' is renamed 'regionType' which better describes the
purpose which is to specify the method by which the surface or volume
region is selected.
The keyword to select the name of the surface or volume region is
renamed from 'sourceName' to 'name' consistent with the other
name-changes above.
