- the earlier implementation of externally controlled lumped point
motion (see merge request !120 and OpenFOAM-v1706 release notes) was
conceived for the motion of simple structures such as buildings or
simple beams. The motion controller was simply defined in terms of
an orientation axis and divisions along that axis.
To include complex structures, multiple motion controllers are
defined in terms of support points and connectivity.
The points can have additional node Ids associated with them, which
makes it easier to map to/from FEA models.
OLD system/lumpedPointMovement specification
--------------------------------------------
//- Reference axis for the locations
axis (0 0 1);
//- Locations of the lumped points
locations (0 0.05 .. 0.5);
NEW system/lumpedPointMovement specification
--------------------------------------------
// Locations of the lumped points
points
(
(0 0 0.00)
(0 0 0.05)
...
(0 0 0.50)
);
//- Connectivity for motion controllers
controllers
{
vertical
{
pointLabels (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10);
}
}
And the controller(s) must be associated with the given
pointDisplacement patch. Eg,
somePatch
{
type lumpedPointDisplacement;
value uniform (0 0 0);
controllers ( vertical ); // <-- NEW
}
TUT: adjust building motion tutorial
- use new controllor definitions
- replace building response file with executable
- add updateControl in dynamicMeshDict for slowly moving structure
ENH: add log FO
ENH: improve log with scale, and offset entries
BUG: ensure extrueMesh does not fail in parallel with wedge extrusion
BUG: add missing clone and mapping funcs to copiedFixedValue, fixedMultiPhaseHeatFlux
ENH: meshToMesh0::cellAddressing slight speed up for some geometries
BUG:0003495: Divide-by-zero in SHF particle break-up model
BUG:0003492: The formula in the OF is inconsistent with the Rosin-Rammler distribution theory formula
- missing minThreshold in activePressureForceBaffleVelocity
- update names of cyclics
- increase tolerance for zero-thickness baffles
- velocity field "U" instead of "UBet"
- viscosity field "nut" instead of "mut"
- overrides normal deltaT for testing accelerated motion.
Can be useful to test mesh motions with constant/dynamicMeshDict
entries (updateControl, updateInterval) where the mesh motion is
much slower than any of the fluid physics.

1) Implementation of the compressibleIsoInterFOam solver
2) Implementation of a new PLIC interpolation scheme.
3) New tutorials associated with the solvers
This implementation was carried out by Henning Scheufler (DLR) and Johan
Roenby (DHI), following :
\verbatim
Henning Scheufler, Johan Roenby,
Accurate and efficient surface reconstruction from volume fraction data
on general meshes, Journal of Computational Physics, 2019, doi
10.1016/j.jcp.2019.01.009
\endverbatim
The integration of the code was carried out by Andy Heather and Sergio
Ferraris from OpenCFD Ltd.
- generates a vtk file in an ASCII, XML format (blockTopology.vtu).
More information than the equivalent obj file since it includes
connectivity, cell shapes and cell IDs (equivalent to the block
numbers).
- previously introduced `getOrDefault` as a dictionary _get_ method,
now complete the transition and use it everywhere instead of
`lookupOrDefault`. This avoids mixed usage of the two methods that
are identical in behaviour, makes for shorter names, and promotes
the distinction between "lookup" access (ie, return a token stream,
locate and return an entry) and "get" access (ie, the above with
conversion to concrete types such as scalar, label etc).
- Favour use of argList methods that are more similar to dictionary
method names with the aim of reducing the cognitive load.
* Silently deprecate two-parameter get() method in favour of the
more familiar getOrDefault.
* Silently deprecate opt() method in favour of get()
These may be verbosely deprecated in future versions.
- enumerated values are (points | topology) which can be optionally
specified in the blockMeshDict. Default is 'topology'.
If the command-line option `blockMesh -merge-points` is specified,
this has absolute priority over any blockMeshDict entry.
STYLE: changed blockMesh "-blockTopology" option to "-write-obj"
- this is more specific to what it does. Potentially wish to add a
"-write-vtk" option in the future.
TUT: adjust tutorials to use preferred or necessary merge strategies:
* channel395DFSEM - topology
* nozzleFlow2D - points
* pipeCyclic - points
- adds into the include-quoted search list instead the general (-Idir)
search list.
* makes it less subject to ordering (since it will now generally be
searched first) and makes it less subject to how duplicate removal
is implemented. In some compilers (#1627), the last instance of
a duplicate directory would be used and not the first instance.
* removes clutter in some Make/options files
COMP: add missing linkage libraries
- simplified templating, which cleans up code and does not appear to
break any normal user coding.
ENH: unique_ptr instead of homegrown demand-driven handling.
- remove MSWindows components (code and makefiles)
- use cxx, hxx extensions to reduce possible confusion with other
"list" and "vector" classes
- use C++ versions for C headers
- adjustments to internal handling to improve run-time addition of
other formats (eg, with additional user library)
For example, to write a binary STL with a '.stl' extension:
$ surfaceMeshConvert input.obj -write-format stlb output.stl
Or in a sampler,
to specify the input type without ambiguity:
surf
{
type meshedSurface;
surface sampling.inp;
fileType starcd;
scale 0.001;
...
}
STYLE: regularize naming for input/output scaling
* -read-scale (compat: -scaleIn)
* -write-scale (compat: -scaleOut)
CONFIG: change edge/surface selection name for STARCD format
- now select as "starcd" instead of "inp" to avoid naming ambiguity
with abaqus
- uses MeshedSurface instead of triSurface to prevent automatic
triangulation.
- supports '-patches' and '-excludePatches' controls as per foamToVTK.
For example,
surfaceSplitByPatch -patches '( ".*rider.*" )' motorBike.obj
ENH: use MeshedSurface for surfaceSubset
- align Switch more with Enum.
Now have find(), found() static methods.
Constructors with failsafe option.
The find() method makes for clearer coding:
OLD
Switch sw(some_string, true); // NB: true = allowBad
if (sw.valid()) ...
NOW
Switch sw = Switch::find(some_string);
if (sw.good()) ...
or
if (Switch::found(some_string)) ...
- improve construct from dictionary to handle all valid token types.
Previously just read in a word.
- Remove asText() method - replaced by c_str() and str() several
versions ago.
- renamed 'core/' -> 'base/' to avoid gitignore masking when re-adding
files
- rename 'nas/' to 'nastran/' for more clarity
- relocated OBJstream from surfMesh to fileFormats
STYLE: remove unused parseNASCoord. Was deprecated 2017-09
- includes restructuring and simplification of low-level ensight part
handling and refactor of backends to improve code reuse.
foamToEnsight
-------------
* new cellZone support.
This was previously only possible via a separate foamToEnsightParts
utility that was not parallelized.
* support for point fields.
* `-nearCellValue` option (as per foamToVTK)
* data indexing now uses values from the time index.
This is consistent with the ensightWrite function object and
can help with restarts.
* existing ensight directories are removed, unless the -no-overwrite
option is supplied
foamToEnsightParts
------------------
* now redundant and removed.
ensightOutputSurface (new class)
--------------------------------
* a lightweight wrapper for point/face references that is tailored
for the ensightSurfaceWriter. It uses compact face/point information
and is serial only, since this is the format requirements from the
surfaceWriter class.
ensightMesh (revised class)
---------------------------
* now only holds a polyMesh reference, which removes its dependency
on finiteVolume and allows it to be relocated under fileFormats
instead of conversion.
Removed classes: ensightParts, ensighPartFaces, ensightPartCells
- these were used by foamToEnsightParts, but not needed anymore.
