- simplifies local toggling.
- centralize fileModification static variables into IOobject.
They were previously scattered between IOobject and regIOobject
This makes the initialisation order of dynamicMesh consistent
with plain ones using the virtual mechanism. It does not
solve the cyclicACMI construction order yet.
1) Add softWall rigidBody restrain
2) Add linearSpringDamper sixDoF restrain to work as soft rope
3) dynamicMotionSolverListFvMesh changed to dictionary based input
4) Add Time reference access to sixDof restraints
5) Add drivenLinearMotion to solidBodyMotionFunctions.
New name: findObject(), cfindObject()
Old name: lookupObjectPtr()
Return a const pointer or nullptr on failure.
New name: findObject()
Old name: --
Return a non-const pointer or nullptr on failure.
New name: getObjectPtr()
Old name: lookupObjectRefPtr()
Return a non-const pointer or nullptr on failure.
Can be called on a const object and it will perform a
const_cast.
- use these updated names and functionality in more places
NB: The older methods names are deprecated, but continue to be defined.
e.g. the motion of two counter-rotating AMI regions could be defined:
dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverListFvMesh;
solvers
(
rotor1
{
solver solidBody;
cellZone rotor1;
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
omega 6.2832; // rad/s
}
}
rotor2
{
solver solidBody;
cellZone rotor2;
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
omega -6.2832; // rad/s
}
}
);
Any combination of motion solvers may be selected but there is no special
handling of motion interaction; the motions are applied sequentially and
potentially cumulatively.
To support this new general framework the solidBodyMotionFvMesh and
multiSolidBodyMotionFvMesh dynamicFvMeshes have been converted into the
corresponding motionSolvers solidBody and multiSolidBody and the tutorials
updated to reflect this change e.g. the motion in the mixerVesselAMI2D tutorial
is now defined thus:
dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh;
solver solidBody;
solidBodyCoeffs
{
cellZone rotor;
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
origin (0 0 0);
axis (0 0 1);
omega 6.2832; // rad/s
}
}
