- prior to sampledSurface supporting different interpolation schemes a
workaround means was used to simulate cellPoint -> face
interpolation, with averaging of vertex interpolation.
We instead now use cellPoint interpolation directly for the face
values when 'interpolate=true'.
- Extended runTimePostProcessing to include access to "live"
simulation objects such a geometry patches and sampled surfaces
stored on the "functionObjectObjects" registry.
- Add 'live' runTimePostProcessing of cloud data.
Extracts position and fields from the cloud via its objectRegistry writer
- For the "live" simulation objects, there are two new volume filters
that work directly with the OpenFOAM volume fields:
* iso-surface
* cutting planes
Both use the VTK algorithms directly and support multiple values.
Eg, can make multiple iso-levels or multiple planes parallel to each
other.
- When VTK has been compiled with MPI-support, parallel rendering will
be used.
- Additional title text properties (shadow, italic etc)
- Simplified handling of scalar-bar and visibility switches
- Support multiple text positions. Eg, for adding watermark text.
- fits better into the general sampling framework, improves flexibilty
and allows code reduction.
ENH: include surface fields on sampledSurfaces that support it
- The writers have changed from being a generic state-less set of
routines to more properly conforming to the normal notion of a writer.
These changes allow us to combine output fields (eg, in a single
VTK/vtp file for each timestep).
Parallel data reduction and any associated bookkeeping is now part
of the surface writers.
This improves their re-usability and avoids unnecessary
and premature data reduction at the sampling stage.
It is now possible to have different output formats on a per-surface
basis.
- A new feature of the surface sampling is the ability to "store" the
sampled surfaces and fields onto a registry for reuse by other
function objects.
Additionally, the "store" can be triggered at the execution phase
as well
- similar to what erase() does, but as a mutable operation (#1180)
- replace basicThermo lookupAndCheckout (commit 880c98757d) with
the new objectRegistry::checkOut() method.
- implemented as lazy evaluation with an additional update() method.
This avoids unnecessary changes until the values are actually
required.
- apply mesh motion changes for momentum, volFieldValue,
specieReactionRates function objects
- changed ensightOutput from a class solely comprising static methods to
a namespace and added in sub-namespaces Detail and Serial.
This makes it easier to "mix-in" functions at different levels.
Refactored and combined some serial/parallel code where possible.
The general ensightOutput namespace has now shifted to be in the
fileFormats lib, while leaving volField outputs in the conversion lib
and cloud outputs in the lagrangian-intermediate lib.
The ensightCloud namespace is now simply folded into the new
ensightOutput namespace.
These changes clean up some code, reduce fragmentation and
duplication and removes the previous libconversion dependency for
sampling.
- use int for ensight nTypes constexpr
Note: issue #1176 is unaffected except for the change in file name:
ensightOutputTemplates.C -> ensightOutputVolFieldTemplates.C
- Uses the user-specified value for the HTC calculation
{
type externalCoupledTemperature;
outputTemperture fluid; // or wall;
htcRefTemperature user; // or cell (default)
Tref 293.15;
}
