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.
Until C++ supports 'concepts' the only way to support construction from
two iterators is to provide a constructor of the form:
template<class InputIterator>
List(InputIterator first, InputIterator last);
which for some types conflicts with
//- Construct with given size and value for all elements
List(const label, const T&);
e.g. to construct a list of 5 scalars initialized to 0:
List<scalar> sl(5, 0);
causes a conflict because the initialization type is 'int' rather than
'scalar'. This conflict may be resolved by specifying the type of the
initialization value:
List<scalar> sl(5, scalar(0));
The new initializer list contructor provides a convenient and efficient alternative
to using 'IStringStream' to provide an initial list of values:
List<vector> list4(IStringStream("((0 1 2) (3 4 5) (6 7 8))")());
or
List<vector> list4
{
vector(0, 1, 2),
vector(3, 4, 5),
vector(6, 7, 8)
};
These new names are more consistent and logical because:
primitiveField():
primitiveFieldRef():
Provides low-level access to the Field<Type> (primitive field)
without dimension or mesh-consistency checking. This should only be
used in the low-level functions where dimensional consistency is
ensured by careful programming and computational efficiency is
paramount.
internalField():
internalFieldRef():
Provides access to the DimensionedField<Type, GeoMesh> of values on
the internal mesh-type for which the GeometricField is defined and
supports dimension and checking and mesh-consistency checking.
Non-const access to the internal field now obtained from a specifically
named access function consistent with the new names for non-canst access
to the boundary field boundaryFieldRef() and dimensioned internal field
dimensionedInternalFieldRef().
See also commit 22f4ad32b1
both of which return the dimensionedInternalField for volFields only.
These will be useful in FV equation source term expressions which need
not evaluate boundary conditions.
inline Foam::vector Foam::septernion::transformPoint(const vector& v) const
{
return r().transform(v - t());
}
Now there is a 1:1 correspondence between septernion and
spatialTransform and a septernion constructor from spatialTransform
provided.
Additionally "septernion::transform" has been renamed
"septernion::transformPoint" to clarify that it transforms coordinate
points rather than displacements or other relative vectors.
'w' is now obtained from 'v' using the relation w = sqrt(1 - |sqr(v)|)
and 'v' is stored in the joint state field 'q' and integrated in the
usual manner but corrected using quaternion transformations.
Currently supported solvers: symplectic, Newmark, CrankNicolson
The symplectic solver should only be used if iteration over the forces
and body-motion is not required. Newmark and CrankNicolson both require
iteration to provide 2nd-order behavior.
See applications/test/rigidBodyDynamics/spring for an example of the
application of the Newmark solver.

This is a more convenient way of maintaining the state or multiple
states (for higher-order integration), storing, retrieving and passing
between processors.

//- Disallow default shallow-copy assignment

// Assignment of UList<T> may need to be either shallow (copy pointer)
// or deep (copy elements) depending on context or the particular type
// of list derived from UList and it is confusing and prone to error
// for the default assignment to be either. The solution is to
// disallow default assignment and provide separate 'shallowCopy' and
