- In the corner case with few faces or points, the normal List I/O
results in a compact list representation.
This is less than desirable for external programs with simple
line-based parsers.
- Write exactly the following
*Faces*
// Patch: <word-Region> <word-Patch>
<int-nFaces>
(
<int-faceSize>(<int> .. <int>)
...
)
*Points*
// Patch: <word-Region> <word-Patch>
<int-nPoints>
(
(<float-x> <float-y> <float-z>)
...
)
STYLE: only use serial form of createExternalCoupledPatchGeometry in tutorial
- less confusing for the user, who wonders why it is being done twice.
New functionality contributed by Mattijs Janssens:
- new edge projection: projectCurve for use with new geometry
'searchableCurve'
- new tutorial 'pipe'
- naming of vertices and blocks (see pipe tutorial). Including back
substitution for error messages.
- Can currently have a periodic restart, but for simulations with a
known run-up, it can be useful to have a specific time to restart
the averaging.
- Note that the restartTime acts as a 'single-shot'. If the
restartTime is already in the past when a simulation is started, it
is ignored. If, during a simulation, the restartTime is crossed, it
will be triggered and then set itself to be ignored in the future.
- manifest in some parallel operations.
STYLE: update foamToEnsight, foamToEnsightParts to use C++ initializer_list
- avoid warning message when removing a non-existent directory (ensight output).
- Cleanup/centralize handling of -decomposeParDict by relocating
common code into argList. Ensures that all processes receive
identical information about the -decomposeParDict opton.
- Only use alternative decomposeParDict for simpleFoam/motorBike
tutorial so that this will be included in the test loop for snappy.
- Added Mattijs' fix for surfaceRedistributePar.
- Also fixed bug noted in issue #269
- Previous implementation had all faces together, which made
it difficult (impossible) for external applications to
figure out which geometry was being referred to.
- Provide separate region/patches as follows:
// Patch: <regionName> <patchName>
For example,
// Group: coupleGroup
// Patch: heater minY
8( ... )
The region-name is always present, even if there is only one region.
- This change is a partial reversion to the behaviour in 2.4.x, except
that we can now also handle multi-region geometries.
Changing the leading comment from "# " to "// " facilitates parsing
of the files with OpenFOAM itself if necessary.
- make top-level Sf(), magSf(), Cf() pure virtual since the
sub-classes will always be providing the face/point storage,
with either triSurface or MeshedSurface in the background
* MeshedSurface / surfMesh / triSurface
- use shorter method names similar to those from volume meshes:
Sf(), magSf(), Cf()
instead of the longer ones from PrimitivePatch:
faceAreas(), magFaceAreas(), faceCentres()
- similar names throughout to ease switching between triSurface and
MeshedSurface storage.
Loop over the edges of each block rather than the edgeList of the
topological mesh due to problems with calcEdges for blocks with repeated
point labels
