- prefer this to using the OPENFOAM define since this improves the
internal consistency with the build information.
The API information could change between builds without the
etcFiles.C being recompiled whereas the value of
Foam::foamVersion::api is force updated during the build (triggers
recompilation of globals.Cver)

- 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.
- use cellCentres() instead of volField equivalent for vtk conversion
- make looping variables more consistent
- centralize the transcription of OpenFOAM -> vtk tuples
- 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)
- 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.
- cfindObject() for const pointer access.
- getObject() for mutable non-const pointer access, similar to the
objectRegistry::getObjectPtr()
- cfindObject(), findObject(), getObject() with template type access
to also check the headerClassName.
For example,
cfindObject("U") -> good
cfindObject<volVectorField>("U") -> good
cfindObject<volScalarField>("U") -> nullptr
This allows inversion of looping logic.
1) Obtain the names for a particular Type
for (const word& objName : objs.sortedNames<Type>())
{
const IOobject* io = objs[objName];
...
}
2) Use previously obtained names and apply to a particular Type
for (const word& objName : someListOfNames)
{
const IOobject* io = objs.cfindObject<Type>(objName);
if (io)
{
...
}
}
- can be used, for example, to visualize all wall cells - for quality
or other purposes - without requiring an intermediate faceSet for
the selection. Request arising from pending merge !213.
- vtkWrite with moving mesh was not updated the subsets properly,
which caused it to crash.
- foamToVTK -overwrite ignored for single region cases,
was working for multi-region cases
- minor documentation changes
- Default format is now XML binary (base64) instead of legacy format.
The old -xml option is redundant and ignored.
The new -legacy option can be used to force legacy output instead.
- Polyhedral decomposition is now off by default (old -poly is ignored).
The option -poly-decomp forces decomposition of polyhedrals into
primitive shapes.
- reduced memory footprint by reading and converting fields
successively.
- Creation of symlinks to processor files is no longer required or
desired. The old -noLinks option is ignored.
- Ignore -useTimeName option. Always number according to timeIndex.
- Provides a means of accumulating file entries for generating vtm
by accumulate blocks, datasets and writing them later.
Only a single block depth is currently supported and the methods
are kept fairly simple.
- parallel list output for foamVtkOutput
- simplified '.series' file output
- beginDataArray() method instead of openDataArray() + closeTag()
since this seems to be the most common use anyhow.
With an optional argument for leaving the tag open, this works the
same as openDataArray() which may be deprecated in the future.
- begin/end methods for CellData, PointData, FieldData (commonly used)
- templating parameters for file headers, content version,
legacy fields. This improves coding robustness and convenience of use.
- use formatter and higher-level methods for legacy output
- attribute quoting character now part of the formatter itself
instead of as an argument for xmlAttr().
Toggle with quoting() method.
- pair-wise processing of xml attributes, which also allows them to be
passed as optional entries when creating an xml tag.
- xmlComment with multiple arguments
- Within strings it is preferable to use the "<etc>" instead.
Most use cases for the old "~OpenFOAM" expansion have been obsoleted
by the #includeEtc directive.
- use std::string instead of c-string for the string constants
- centralize some definitions of resources into foamVersion.H
Now expose some of the hard-coded values used in foamEtcFiles()
so that they can be known or even overridden as required.
Relocate to src/OpenFOAM/include as a constant location.
- uses wmake, without OpenFOAM libraries.
The application and libray serve as a minimal test case for wmake,
but can also be used to generate a minimal library/executable pair
target for testing of packaging etc.
- For compatibility, access to the old global names is provided via
macros
#define FOAMversion foamVersion::version
#define FOAMbuild foamVersion::build
#define FOAMbuildArch foamVersion::buildArch
- this isolation makes it easier to provide additional scoped methods
for dealing with version related information. Eg, printBuildInfo()
- 'unfriend' operators on dimensionSet, since they operate without
requiring access to non-public members.
- add missing invTransform() function for dimensionSet.
- make inv(const dimensionSet&) available as
operator~(const dimensionSet&), which can be used instead
of (dimless/ds).
- writing of dictionary entry with the name of the dimensionedType
suppressed if it is identical to the keyword.
This corresponds to the input requirements.
- deprecate dimensionedType constructors using an Istream in favour of
versions accepting a keyword and a dictionary.
Dictionary entries are almost the exclusive means of read
constructing a dimensionedType. By construct from the dictionary
entry instead of doing a lookup() first, we can detect possible
input errors such as too many tokens as a result of a input syntax
error.
Constructing a dimensionedType from a dictionary entry now has
two forms.
1. dimensionedType(key, dims, dict);
This is the constructor that will normally be used.
It accepts entries with optional leading names and/or
dimensions. If the entry contains dimensions, they are
verified against the expected dimensions and an IOError is
raised if they do not correspond. On conclusion, checks the
token stream for any trailing rubbish.
2. dimensionedType(key, dict);
This constructor is used less frequently.
Similar to the previous description, except that it is initially
dimensionless. If entry contains dimensions, they are used
without further verification. The constructor also includes a
token stream check.
This constructor is useful when the dimensions are entirely
defined from the dictionary input, but also when handling
transition code where the input dimensions are not obvious from
the source.
This constructor can also be handy when obtaining values from
a dictionary without needing to worry about the input dimensions.
For example,
Info<< "rho: " << dimensionedScalar("rho", dict).value() << nl;
This will accept a large range of inputs without hassle.
