- in expressions BCs in particular, there is various logic handling
for if value/refValue/refGradient etc are found or not.
Handle the lookups as findEntry and branch to use Field assign
or other handling, depending on its existence.
STYLE: use wordList instead of wordRes for copy/filter dictionary
For example, instead of
if (dict.found("value"))
{
fvScalarField::operator=
(
Field<scalar>("value", dict, p.size())
);
}
can use more precise specifications, and also eliminate searching
the dictionary multiple times:
const auto* eptr = dict.findEntry("value", keyType::LITERAL);
//or: dict.findCompat("value", {{"oldName" ... }}, keyType::LITERAL);
if (eptr)
{
fvScalarField::assign(*eptr, p.size());
}
STYLE: combine declaration of FieldBase into Field.H
- move construct from components. Construct with optional IO control
- separate init() method (as per polyMesh) to delay evaluation of
globalData and base geometry.
- faMesh removeFiles method
ENH: faBoundaryMeshEntries for reading faBoundary files without a mesh
ENH: adjust debug output for {fa,fae,fv,fvs}patchField::New
- add alternative constraint type selection for faePatchField.
- unify handling of "patchType" reading.
Make less noisy when reporting dictionary defaults.
These new names are more consistent and logical because:
primitiveField():
primitiveFieldRef():
Provides low-level access to the Field<Type> (primitive field)
without dimension or mesh-consistency checking. This should only be
used in the low-level functions where dimensional consistency is
ensured by careful programming and computational efficiency is
paramount.
internalField():
internalFieldRef():
Provides access to the DimensionedField<Type, GeoMesh> of values on
the internal mesh-type for which the GeometricField is defined and
supports dimension and checking and mesh-consistency checking.
