Reports the min|max|average AMI weights to text file and optionally
writes VTK surfaces of the sum of the weights, and mask field for
ACMI patches.
Example usage:
AMIWeights
{
type AMIWeights;
libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
writeControl writeTime;
writeFields yes;
}

- now placed under postProcessing/checkMesh and postProcessing/checkAMI,
respectively.
Output files are now also tagged with the id of the patch, in case
there are multiple AMI patches in use.
- the problem occurred when running the writers in a parallel solver
or utility but requesting output on the master only.
Adjusted the logic to avoid globalIndex for these cases.
Previously the if (parallel_) checks were happening later, after the
globalIndex had already been created.
- use cellCentres() instead of volField equivalent for vtk conversion
- make looping variables more consistent
- centralize the transcription of OpenFOAM -> vtk tuples
The freestreamFvPatchField previously employed a fixed value when supplying
the inlet values. This commit extends the BC so that users can use another
patch to supply the values via the new freestreamBC entry, e.g. to set the
velocity to an atmospheric boundary layer profile:
inlet
{
type freestream;
freestreamBC
{
type atmBoundaryLayerInletVelocity;
flowDir (1 0 0);
zDir (0 0 1);
Uref 20;
Zref 20;
z0 uniform 0.1;
zGround uniform 935;
}
}
The earlier specification is also maintained for backwards compatibility, e.g.
inlet
{
type freestream;
freestreamValue uniform (300 0 0);
}
- provide default WM_DIR if not already set, to improve robustness if a
reduced environment is used
- add etc/ to WM_PROJECT_SITE search. This makes the site directory
structure consistent with the OpenFOAM structure.
Eg,
WM_PROJECT_SITE/etc/..
WM_PROJECT_SITE/bin/..
WM_PROJECT_SITE/platforms/..
- Don't set/export WM_OSTYPE. The default is POSIX and is properly
defaulted throughout, including in CMakeLists-OpenFOAM.txt (also for
Catalyst)
- Use the OPENFOAM define (eg, 1806, 1812), which normally corresponds
to a major release, to define an API level. This remains consistent
within a release cycle and means that it is possible to manage
several sub-versions and continue to have a consistent lookup.
The current API value is updated automatically during the build
and cached as meta data for later use, even when the wmake/ directory
is missing or OpenFOAM has not yet be initialized.
The version information reported on program start or with -help
usage adjusted to reflect this. The build tag from git now also
carries the date as being more meaningful to trace than a hash
value.
- Update etc/bashrc and etc/cshrc to obtain the project directory
directly instead of via its prefix directory. The value obtained
corresponds to an absolute path, from which the prefix directory
can be obtained.
The combination of these changes removes the reliance on any
particular directory naming convention.
For example,
With an 1812 version (API level):
WM_PROJECT_VERSION=myVersion
installed as /some/path/somewhere/openfoam-mySandbox
This makes the -prefix, -foamInstall, -projectVersion, -version
values of foamEtcFiles, and similar entries for foamConfigurePaths
superfluous.
WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR is no longer required or used
ENH: improve handling and discovery of ThirdParty
- improve the flexibility and reusability of ThirdParty packs to cover
various standard use cases:
1. Unpacking initial release tar files with two parallel directories
- OpenFOAM-v1812/
- ThirdParty-v1812/
2. With an adjusted OpenFOAM directory name, for whatever reason
- OpenFOAM-v1812-myCustom/
- openfoam-1812-other-info/
3. Operating with/without ThirdParty directory
To handle these use cases, the following discovery is used.
Note PROJECT = the OpenFOAM directory `$WM_PROJECT_DIR`
PREFIX = the parent directory
VERSION = `$WM_PROJECT_VERSION`
API = `$WM_PROJECT_API`, as per `foamEtcFiles -show-api`
0. PROJECT/ThirdParty
- for single-directory installations
1. PREFIX/ThirdParty-VERSION
- this corresponds to the traditional approach
2. PREFIX/ThirdParty-vAPI
- allows for an updated value of VERSION (eg, v1812-myCustom)
without requiring a renamed ThirdParty. The API value
would still be '1812' and the original ThirdParty-v1812/
would be found.
3. PREFIX/ThirdParty-API
- this is the same as the previous example, but using an unadorned
API value. This also makes sense if the chosen version name also
uses the unadorned API value in its naming
(eg, 1812-patch190131, 1812.19W03)
4. PREFIX/ThirdParty-common
- permits maximum reuse for various versions, but only for
experienced user who are aware of potential version
incompatibilities
Directory existence is checked as is the presence of an Allwmake file
or a platforms/ directory. This reduces the potential of false positive
matches and limits the selection to directories that are either
with sources (has the Allwmake file), or pre-compiled binaries (has
the platforms/ directory).
If none of the explored directories are found to be suitable,
it reverts to using a PROJECT/ThirdParty dummy location since
this is within the project source tree and can be trusted to
have no negative side-effects.
ENH: add csh support to foamConfigurePaths
- this removes the previously experienced inconsistence in config file
contents.
REMOVED: foamExec
- was previously used when switching versions and before the
bashrc/cshrc discovery logic was added. It is now obsolete.
- Uses the user-specified value for outputTemperature:
{
type externalCoupledTemperature;
outputTemperture fluid; // or wall;
}
Otherwises uses 'wall' as a default (for compatibility) and emits a
warning.
The T.out header now reflects the type of output. Eg,
# Values: area Tfluid qDot htc
- tutorials based on squareBend used Default_Boundary_Region explicitly
defined since they predated the defaultPatch renaming (2008).
The name 'Default_Boundary_Region' was for convenience as the default
name when converting to PROSTAR or CCM formation, but can now be
changed to something more generic.
- define wall boundary conditions for squareBend using a general regex
to allow future splitting of wall types by name.
- check if the first argument corresponds to an OpenFOAM value for
'true' (as per Switch).
True == 't', 'y', 'true', 'yes', 'on'. Everything else is not true.
- when the first argument is '-dict', it initializes the value
with a query via foamDictionary.
Eg,
isTrue -dict mydict -entry parallel
==> value=$(foamDictionary mydict -entry parallel -value)
isTrue $value
a missing entry is silently treated as false.
ENH: add getNumberOfPatchFaces function in RunFunctions
- simple extraction of nFaces from boundary file for given patch/region
- append the commit hash value with the commit date when creating
the build string information and drop the version prefix.
This provides an immediate overview of when the code was last
changed. The prefixed version information can be dropped from
the build string, since it is readily available in other forms.
- was PREFIX/site, now PROJECT/site
This avoids several issues when installing OpenFOAM in clusters
without an intermediate OpenFOAM-specific installation prefix.
The 'site' directory may have a reserved meaning in these situations
and it is undesirable to 'leak' upwards into the parent directory to
look for configuration files.
Placing the default within the project directory avoids this.
Alternative locations can be given via the WM_PROJECT_SITE variable.
- removed reliance on ParaView_INCLUDE_DIR variable for conveying the
major.minor version information when compiling. This can be somewhat
fragile and also adds variable that is an unnecessary when running
(only used when compiling).
Instead use `have_pvplugin_support` function in paraviewFunctions
wmake script to determine the maj.min from the PV_PLUGIN_PATH
since we have already defined the output path there with paraview
maj.min numbering.
Can now build with paraview from the operating system,
provided that it has develop headers available.
ParaView_VERSION=system
In the etc/config.sh/paraview setup, the maj.min is taken from
the corresponding `paraview --version` output and used when
defining the PV_PLUGIN_PATH.
During the build, the include path taken from `paraview-config`
for a system installation, from the guess installation root
of the paraview binary, or ParaView_DIR otherwise.
NB: using a system ParaView for building runTimePostProcessing is unsupported.
- these types of builds appear to have various library resolution issues
(eg, libexpat not being loaded). Additionally, the build logic does
not yet cover this type of use case.
