- the purpose is more explicit, without needing to check documentation
about what the bool parameter means.
STYLE: improve formatting of fileName documentation
- The code create a box with a (0,0,0) point.
The new definition is more logical and makes it very easy to grow
the bounding box to include new points. It also simplifies much of
the logic in the constructors.
- Use ROOTVGREAT instead of VGREAT for sizing greatBox and invertedBox.
Avoids some overflow issues reported by Mattijs (thus GREAT has been
used in treeBoundBox), but might still need further revision.
- Constructor for bounding box of a single point.
- add(boundBox), add(point) ...
-> Extend box to enclose the second box or point(s).
Eg,
bb.add(pt);
vs.
bb.min() = Foam::min(bb.min(), pt);
bb.max() = Foam::max(bb.max(), pt);
Also works with other bounding boxes.
Eg,
bb.add(bb2);
// OR
bb += bb2;
vs.
bb.min() = Foam::min(bb.min(), bb2.min());
bb.max() = Foam::max(bb.max(), bb2.max());
'+=' operator allows the reduction to be used in parallel
gather/scatter operations.
A global '+' operator is not currently needed.
Note: may be useful in the future to have a 'clear()' method
that resets to a zero-sized (inverted) box.
STYLE: make many bounding box constructors explicit
reduce()
- parallel reduction of min/max values.
Reduces coding for the callers.
Eg,
bb.reduce();
instead of the previous method:
reduce(bb.min(), minOp<point>());
reduce(bb.max(), maxOp<point>());
STYLE:
- use initializer list for creating static content
- use point::min/point::max when defining standard boxes
By default snappyHexMesh writes files relating to the hex-splitting process into
the polyMesh directory: cellLevel level0Edge pointLevel surfaceIndex
but by setting the noRefinement flag:
writeFlags
(
noRefinement
.
.
.
);
these optional files which are generally not needed are not written.
If you run the three stages of snappyHexMesh separately or run a dynamic mesh
solver supporting refinement and unrefinement these files are needed
and "noRefinement" should not be set.
unless the blockMeshDict is in the polyMesh directory or the "-noClean" option
is specified.
This avoids problems running snappyHexMesh without first clearing files from
polyMesh which interfere with the operation of snappyHexMesh.
e.g. in tutorials/heatTransfer/buoyantSimpleFoam/externalCoupledCavity/0/T
hot
{
type externalCoupledTemperature;
commsDir "${FOAM_CASE}/comms";
file "data";
initByExternal yes;
log true;
value uniform 307.75; // 34.6 degC
}
Previously both 'file' and 'fileName' were used inconsistently in different
classes and given that there is no confusion or ambiguity introduced by using
the simpler 'file' rather than 'fileName' this change simplifies the use and
maintenance of OpenFOAM.
- Could be related to interrupted builds.
So if there are any parts of the build that rely on an explicit
'wmakeLnInclude', make sure that the contents are properly updated.

ENH: improved feedback from top-level Allwmake
- Report which section (libraries, applications) is being built.
- Provide final summary of date, version, etc, which can be helpful
for later diagnosis or record keeping.
- The -log=XXX option for Allwmake now accepts a directory name
and automatically appends an appropriate log name.
Eg,
./Allwmake -log=logs/ ->> logs/log.linux64GccDPInt32Opt
The default name is built from the value of WM_OPTIONS.
--
BUG: shell not exiting properly in combination with -log option
- the use of 'tee' causes the shell to hang around.
Added an explicit exit to catch this.
--
- Detecting the '-k' (-non-stop) option at the top-level Allwmake, which
may improve robustness.
- Explicit continue-on-error for foamyMesh (as optional component)
- unify format of script messages for better readability
COMP: reduce warnings when building Pstream (old-style casts in openmpi)
- polyMesh constructor from cell shapes invoked 'removeFiles'.
This may or may not be what the caller wants or expects.
With the ParaView blockMesh viewer, this behaviour causes deletion of
all mesh data (points, faces, etc) when the viewer is refreshed.
Triggered even when just building the blockMesh topology.
- only a few places that construct a polyMesh from cell shapes
(mostly mesh conversion utilities).
Ensure that the file removal (if any) occurs in the application
and *not* as a side-effect of calling the polyMesh constructor.
--
blockMesh (application)
- The placement of the removeFiles seems to also remove freshly
generated sets (Bug or feature to remove sets?)

Pstream: added maxCommsSize setting to do (unstructured) parallel transfers in blocks.
Tested:
- with maxCommsSize 0 produces exactly same result as plus.develop
- compiles with label64
- with maxCommsSize e.g. 3 produces exactly same result as plus.develop
- with maxCommsSize=0 exactly the same messages (with Pstream::debug = 1) as plus.develop
See merge request !85
cellZones and pointZones can now be created in one action without the
need to first create a cellSet or pointSet and converting that to the
corresponding zone, e.g.
actions
(
// Example: create cellZone from a box region
{
name c0;
type cellZoneSet;
action new;
source boxToCell;
sourceInfo
{
box (0.04 0 0)(0.06 100 100);
}
}
);
- only occurs in combination with distributedTriSurfaceMesh in snappy.
- workaround similar to that previously used for surfaceRedistributePar
(issue #60).
Minor adjustment of incompressible motorBike tutorial to detect use of
distributedTriSurfaceMesh.
- there was a slight mix of MUST_READ and MUST_READ_IF_MODIFIED
but with no obvious code to handle runtime modified values
of the decomposition, or how this works with alternative
dictionaries.
On 64-bit systems, the system installations of boost, cgal are under
lib64/. The behaviour for a ThirdParty build is mostly lib/ but this
can also be changing.
Boost 1_62_0 and older build into 'lib/'.
CGAL-4.9 builds into 'lib64/', older versions into 'lib/'.
Future-proof things by using lib$WM_COMPILER_LIB_ARCH for boost and
cgal build rules, and forcing these as build targets in the ThirdParty
makeCGAL as well.

STYLE: check for boost/version.hpp, CGAL/version.h instead their directories
