- provide a lookupOrDefault constructor form, since this is a fairly
commonly used requirement and simplifies the calling sequence.
Before
dimensionedScalar rhoMax
(
dimensionedScalar::lookupOrDefault
(
"rhoMax",
pimple.dict(),
dimDensity,
GREAT
)
);
After
dimensionedScalar rhoMax("rhoMax", dimDensity, GREAT, pimple.dict());
- read, readIfPresent methods with alternative lookup names.
- Mark the Istream related constructors with compile-time deprecated
warnings.
BUG: read, readIfPresent methods not handling optional dimensions (#1148)
- makes the intent clearer and avoids the need for additional
constructor casting. Eg,
labelList(10, Zero) vs. labelList(10, 0)
scalarField(10, Zero) vs. scalarField(10, scalar(0))
vectorField(10, Zero) vs. vectorField(10, vector::zero)
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.
Calculates and outputs a field whose values are offset to a reference
value obtained by sampling the field at a user-specified location.
The field values are calculated using:
\f[
f_c = s(f_{c,t} - f_p + f_{off})
\f]
where
\vartable
f_c | field values at cell
s | optional scale factor (default = 1)
f_{c,t} | current field values at cell at this time
f_p | field value at position
f_{off} | offset field value (default = 0)
\endvartable
Usage
Example of function object specification to calculate the reference
field:
\verbatim
pRef
{
type reference;
libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
...
field p;
result pRef;
position (0 0 0);
scale 1.2;
offset 100000;
}
\endverbatim
