- support simple mesh subsetting to vtu formats to enable debug output
for a subsection of an existing polyMesh
- rudimentary support for VTK from cellShapes is intended for handling
basic primitive cell shapes without a full blown polyMesh description.
For example,
// Create an empty polyMesh with points only
polyMesh debugMesh
(
io,
std::move(points),
faceList(), // faces
labelList(), // owner
labelList(), // neighbour
true // syncPar
);
// Establish the appropriate VTK sizing for the TET shapes
vtk::vtuCells vtuCells;
vtuCells.resetShapes(debugCutTets);
vtuCells.nPoints(debugMesh.nPoints());
NOTE
Since the vtk::internalMeshWriter only uses the polyMesh reference
for the points, it is also possible to create the vtuCells
description without a pointField (or from a different mesh
description) and write out the connectivity using the pointField
from a different mesh.
- allows reuse similar to refPtr for wrapping different content.
- additional control for when contents are copied back,
instead of waiting for the adaptor to go out of scope.
Eg,
if (adaptor.active())
{
adaptor.commit();
adaptor.clear();
}
- static ConstPrecisionAdaptor::get method renamed to 'select' as a
better description of its purpose and avoid confusion with
non-static 'get' method.
Was previously only used within GAMGPreconditioner, but even there
it is better just to use the ConstPrecisionAdaptor directly.
- support non-uniform scaling, prescaling and cartesian coordinate
transformations.
Eg, stretch in one direction and then rotate
```
prescale (1.5 1 1);
transform
{
origin (0 0 0);
rotation
{
type axisAngle;
axis (0 0 1);
angle 45;
}
}
```
- support "transformed" versions of blockMesh vertices, topology.
With the additional of transformations etc, a simplistic application
of a single scale parameter is no longer sufficient.
new: blMesh.vertices(true);
old: blMesh.vertices() * blMesh.scaleFactor();
new: blMesh.topology(true);
old: N/A
- add individual edge access for blockDescriptor.
Saves copying and duplicate calculations.
- handle '(block face)' specification for curved faces,
which is ok for external block faces, but likely somewhat
questionable if used for internal block faces.
- Can specify
```
transform
{
origin (1 2 3);
rotation none;
}
```
instead of the longer form
```
transform
{
origin (1 2 3);
e1 (1 0 0);
e3 (0 0 1);
}
```
COMPAT: remove old (pre-1812) Euler and STARCD keywords
- use "angles", remove old compat name "rotation"
as clutter and possible confusion with "coordinate rotation"
STYLE: remove coordinate rotation move constructors
- an unnecessary holdover from older code.
The original thermoSurfaceFilm sub-models were divided between kinematicSurfaceFilm and thermoSurfaceFilm in order to use the surfaceFilm model in a kinematicCloud.
The film interaction models are now in a kinematicSurface class which can be used in a kinematic cloud adding constant thermal properties (p and T) for some sub-models, e.g. drySplashInteraction/wetSplashInteraction.
pRef and Tref were added to the kinematicSurfaceFilm as entry to the regionFilm when used with a kinematic cloud.
In the finite area surface film model Tref, pRef are stored in filmSubModelBase.
TUT: kinematicParcelFoam: new tutorial pitzDailySprinkles
1) Adding subMesh capabilities to momentumError and div FOs.
- A subMesh is created from cellZones.
- The operators (div, etc) are only calculated in the subMesh.
2) Optionally, halo cells can be added to the cellZones.
3) New helper class to handle the subMesh creation and field mapping.
- adjust commented-out evaluation to avoid warnings.
With code like this
```
#if 0
nxin #eval{ round($nxin / 5) };
#endif
```
The handling of the "#if 0 / #endif" clause uses the plain ISstream
parser to tokenize. This means that the "round(" is parsed as a word
with a mismatched closing ')', whereas the "#eval" parser will slurp
everything in until the closing brace and send it off as a string
to the expression parser.
- snGrad, internalField, neighbourField.
Functional use as per swak: "... + internalField(T) ..."
ENH: additional volume/patch expressions
- deltaT()
STYLE: rename exprDriverWriter -> fvExprDriverWriter
- the original class name was a misnomer since it holds a reference
to fvExprDriver
BUG: expression faceToPoint/pointToFace definitions were flipped
ENH: refactor expression hierarchy and code style
- handle TimeState reference at the top-level for simpler derivations
- unified internal search parameters (cruft)
- makes it easier to use for local or alternative storage.
Eg,
```
tmp<volScalarField> tfld;
tfld.cref(obj.cfindObject<volScalarField>("name"));
if (!tfld)
{
tfld = volScalarField::New("name", ...);
}
```
- resizes to current fieldNames_ size and assigns everything to
false to avoid any "stickiness" if the field ordering changes
between reads.
ENH: additional debugging faOption/fvOption (#2110)
- aids tracing which sources are being used/ignored
- update code style
STYLE: rename CodedSource -> CodedFvSource
- avoid future name clashes with CodedFaSource
- improved separation of patch creation that is also parallel-aware,
which now allows creation in parallel
- memory-safe use of PtrList for adding patches, with a more generalized
faPatchData helper
- use uindirectPrimitivePatch instead of indirectPrimitivePatch
for internal patch handling.
- align boundary methods with polyMesh equivalents
- system/faMeshDefinition instead of constant/faMesh/faMeshDefinition
as per blockMesh convention. Easier to manage definitions, easier
for cleanup.
- drop inheritence from GeoMesh.
