Simplified and generalized the handling of functionObjects which fail to
construct by removing them from the list rather than maintaining an
"enabled" switch in each functionObject.
Executes application functionObjects to post-process existing results.
If the "dict" argument is specified the functionObjectList is constructed
from that dictionary otherwise the functionObjectList is constructed from
the "functions" sub-dictionary of "system/controlDict"
Multiple time-steps may be processed and the standard utility time
controls are provided.
This functionality is equivalent to execFlowFunctionObjects but in a
more efficient and general manner and will be included in all the
OpenFOAM solvers if it proves effective and maintainable.
The command-line options available with the "-postProcess" option may be
obtained by
simpleFoam -help -postProcess
Usage: simpleFoam [OPTIONS]
options:
-case <dir> specify alternate case directory, default is the cwd
-constant include the 'constant/' dir in the times list
-dict <file> read control dictionary from specified location
-latestTime select the latest time
-newTimes select the new times
-noFunctionObjects
do not execute functionObjects
-noZero exclude the '0/' dir from the times list, has precedence
over the -withZero option
-parallel run in parallel
-postProcess Execute functionObjects only
-region <name> specify alternative mesh region
-roots <(dir1 .. dirN)>
slave root directories for distributed running
-time <ranges> comma-separated time ranges - eg, ':10,20,40:70,1000:'

Rather than requiring each functionObject to handle failed construction
internally (using the active_ flag) the static member function "viable"
is provided which returns true if construction of the functionObject is
likely to be successful. Failed construction is then handled by the
wrapper-class which constructs the functionObject,
e.g. "OutputFilterFunctionObject".
Previous behavior which may be useful for moving-mesh cases can be
selected using the optional entry:
writeTotalArea yes;
The initial total area is written in the log and data file header e.g.:
# Source : faceZone f0
# Faces : 8
# Area : 1.063860e-02
Time::adjustDeltaT(). It allows function objects to manipulate the time step to
dump at adjustable times. The following options are available for output in
function objects: timeStep, outputTime, adjustableTime, runTime, clockTime
and cpuTime.
end of Time::operator++. This allows to know if the next timeIndex will be
a dumping time. The function object "partialWrite" modifyes the write option
of the those fields which will be written down at given intervals of the overall
outout times.
