- use succincter method names that more closely resemble dictionary
and HashTable method names. This improves method name consistency
between classes and also requires less typing effort:
args.found(optName) vs. args.optionFound(optName)
args.readIfPresent(..) vs. args.optionReadIfPresent(..)
...
args.opt<scalar>(optName) vs. args.optionRead<scalar>(optName)
args.read<scalar>(index) vs. args.argRead<scalar>(index)
- the older method names forms have been retained for code compatibility,
but are now deprecated
e.g. in tutorials/heatTransfer/buoyantSimpleFoam/externalCoupledCavity/0/T
hot
{
type externalCoupledTemperature;
commsDir "${FOAM_CASE}/comms";
file "data";
initByExternal yes;
log true;
value uniform 307.75; // 34.6 degC
}
Previously both 'file' and 'fileName' were used inconsistently in different
classes and given that there is no confusion or ambiguity introduced by using
the simpler 'file' rather than 'fileName' this change simplifies the use and
maintenance of OpenFOAM.
