- ensure surface writing is time-step and nFields aware.
This avoids overwriting (ignoring) previous output fields.
- allow sampled surfaces to be used for weight fields as well.
Not sure why this restriction was still there.
- remove old compatibility reading of orientedFields.
Last used in v1612, now removed.
- only use face sampling. For surfaceFieldValue we can only do
something meaningful with face values.
ENH: modify interface methods for surfaceWriter
- replace direct modification of values with setter methods.
Eg,
old: writer.isPointData() = true;
new: writer.isPointData(true);
This makes it possible to add internal hooks to catch state changes.
ENH: allow post-construction change to sampledSurface interpolation
- rename interpolate() method to isPointData() for consistency with
other classes and to indicate that it is a query.
- additional isPointData(bool) setter method to change the expected
representation type after construction
- remove 'interpolate' restriction on isoSurfacePoint which was
previously flagged as an error but within sampledSurfaces can use
sampleScheme cellPoint and obtain representative samples.
Relax this restriction since this particular iso-surface algorithm
is slated for removal in the foreseeable future.
- make handling of verbosity more consistent.
Make all setter return the old value, remove (unused) default
parameter as being counter-intuitive. This makes it easier to
restore the original values.
For example,
const bool oldVerbose = sampler.verbose(false);
...
sampler.verbose(oldVerbose);
- The writers have changed from being a generic state-less set of
routines to more properly conforming to the normal notion of a writer.
These changes allow us to combine output fields (eg, in a single
VTK/vtp file for each timestep).
Parallel data reduction and any associated bookkeeping is now part
of the surface writers.
This improves their re-usability and avoids unnecessary
and premature data reduction at the sampling stage.
It is now possible to have different output formats on a per-surface
basis.
- A new feature of the surface sampling is the ability to "store" the
sampled surfaces and fields onto a registry for reuse by other
function objects.
Additionally, the "store" can be triggered at the execution phase
as well
A lot of methods were taking argument data which could be referenced or
generated from the parcel class at little or no additional cost. This
was confusing and generated the possibility of inconsistent data states.
- 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)
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.
