- adjustments to internal handling to improve run-time addition of
other formats (eg, with additional user library)
For example, to write a binary STL with a '.stl' extension:
$ surfaceMeshConvert input.obj -write-format stlb output.stl
Or in a sampler,
to specify the input type without ambiguity:
surf
{
type meshedSurface;
surface sampling.inp;
fileType starcd;
scale 0.001;
...
}
STYLE: regularize naming for input/output scaling
* -read-scale (compat: -scaleIn)
* -write-scale (compat: -scaleOut)
CONFIG: change edge/surface selection name for STARCD format
- now select as "starcd" instead of "inp" to avoid naming ambiguity
with abaqus
- had a PrimitivePatch with SubField, but now use const pointField&.
There is no derivation path from a pointIOField to SubField<point>,
so a const reference makes more sense.
- face_type, point_type (similar to STL value_type, etc).
The naming avoids potential confusion with template parameters.
- rename private typedef from ParentType to MeshReference for more
consistency with polySurface etc.
- regression introduced by 431c9632f9
The triSurface dictionary constructor applies the scaling,
and thus it can be reported, but not applied in triSurfaceMesh
- previously used a Pstream::exit() invoked from the argList
destructor to handle all MPI shutdown, but this has the unfortunate
side-effect of using a fixed return value for the program exit.
Instead use the Pstream::shutdown() method in the destructor and allow
the normal program exit codes as usual. This means that the
following code now works as expected.
```
argList args(...);
if (...)
{
InfoErr<< "some error\n";
return 1;
}
```
- preferentially handle Allwmake.override, which allows packaging
tools to define alternative make scripts, or selectively disable
components.
- remove legacy handling of 'Optional' directory.
Conditionals have since migrated into scripts themselves and/or
use the wmake/scripts/have_* framework.
BUG: missed passing -debug for Allwmake scripts
- missed detection of system libraries when installed with multiarch
paths like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
CONFIG: improve handling of group/user config files (#928)
- changed bashrc handling of FOAM_CONFIG_NOUSER to use
FOAM_CONFIG_MODE instead. Propagate into foamEtcFile to make this
a stickier control.
This change allows better control, but also enables cluster
installations to define their own value within the OpenFOAM prefs.sh
file to prevent users accidentally mis-configuring things if
necessary.
- remove undocumented handling of an (a)ll mode in foamEtcFile to
avoid potential pitfalls.
- add support for FOAM_CONFIG_ETC handling.
This allows injection of an extra search layer when finding
project etc files
ENH: improvements to foamConfigurePaths (#928)
- handle FOAM_CONFIG_ETC implicitly, or explicitly with the new
-etc option.
STYLE: more explicit wording in foamConfigurePaths usage (#1602)
- document that an absolute path (eg, -scotch-path) overrides/ignores
the equivalent ThirdParty setting (eg, -scotch)
- longer options -system-compiler and -third-compiler for -system
and -third, respectively. Clearer as to their purpose.
- adjust the location sanity check to look for META-INFO directory.
- '-c' option (as per shell), '-Dkey[=value]' option to provide
preferences via the command-line. For example,
etc/openfoam -DWM_COMPILER=Clang -int64 ./Allwmake -j -s -l
These can also be combined with other options. Eg,
etc/openfoam -DWM_COMPILER=Clang \
-c 'wmake -show-path-cxx -show-cxxflags'
- relocated from bin/tools/ => etc/ for easier access
- bin/tools/openfoam.in : for autoconfig-style installation
- Auto-detect if the shell script was executed with openfoam and
interpret accordingly.
Simple example,
--------------
#!/usr/bin/openfoam
cd "${0%/*}" || exit # Run -*-sh-*- from this dir
blockMesh
simpleFoam
--------------
Note it is NOT currently possible to provide any other parameters
this way. Eg,
`#!/usr/bin/openfoam -sp` (NOT)
This will either fail to run, or result in infinite recursion.
- base level surface container is now a meshedSurface instead of
a triSurface. This avoid automatic triangulation of surfaces
when they are read, and simplifies the internals.
- sampling types:
* "meshedSurface" (compat: "sampledTriSurfaceMesh")
* "meshedSurfaceNormal" (compat: "sampledTriSurfaceMeshNormal")
- uses MeshedSurface instead of triSurface to prevent automatic
triangulation.
- supports '-patches' and '-excludePatches' controls as per foamToVTK.
For example,
surfaceSplitByPatch -patches '( ".*rider.*" )' motorBike.obj
ENH: use MeshedSurface for surfaceSubset
- removed swapZones method (unused, potentially fragile)
- add subsetMesh by name
BUG: incorrect zone assignment in MeshedSurface::subsetMesh
- used the new (zero-sized) zone when determining the old zone ending
instead of the original zone bounds.
- refactor logic from triSurfaceMesh for triSurface, MeshedSurface,
UnsortedMeshedSurface.
Makes it easier to locate and use surface files without the
triSurfaceMesh (meshTools) infrastructure.
STYLE: remove unused sampledTriSurfaceMesh constructors
