- instead of deciding beforehand if a surface format requires a separate
geometry file (or if a geometry file should be written if no fields were
written) now determine afterwards if something was written.
This improves the overall reliability (consistency) and is more
convenient for the caller as well.
- PtrDynList support for move append list:
can be used to concatenate pointer lists into a single one
- include resize in PtrDynList squeezeNull as being a natural
combination
- support sorting operations for pointer lists (PtrListOps)
- comparison operator, for sorting based on the position of the origin.
- allow modification of the origin.
- zero-initialise for null constructor: base components are vectors
and cheap to initialise.
- 'unfriend' the output operator: it uses public access methods
- remove writeGeometry() in favour of write() and make it pure virtual
so that all writers must explicitly deal with it.
- establish proxy extension at construction time and treated as an
invariant thereafter. This avoids potentially surprising changes in
behaviour when writing.
- with -mcpu=native for automatic detection and -armpl for linking in
the performance libraries
STYLE: relocate -mcpu into compiler instead of compiler-flags (#1225)
- prior to sampledSurface supporting different interpolation schemes a
workaround means was used to simulate cellPoint -> face
interpolation, with averaging of vertex interpolation.
We instead now use cellPoint interpolation directly for the face
values when 'interpolate=true'.
- normally findInstance will 'bottom out' with the constant directory
while doing its reverse time search. This mechanism however fails
when searching for negative start values (if there are none in the
list). Add additional logic for this so that constant will also be
used in these situations.
Note: to have decomposePar work for all times, may need the -constant option
to trigger the proper time list.
- construct from positions
- reset positions, minEdgeLen, find grid index
ENH: add accessor for obtaining the size of a single i-j-k dimension
- eg, obtain the 'i' dimension with any of these methods:
ijkAddr.size(vector::X)
ijkAddr.sizes().x()
ijkAddr.sizes()[0]
- this is a simple container for fields with i-j-k addressing.
It does not support field operations directly, but is primarily
intended to be used when assembling field information with i-j-k
logic. After assembly, the field can be transferred to a regular
field for normal operations. Eg,
IjkField<scalar> assemble({15, 16, 200});
// .. fill in i-j-k fields
Field<scalar> final(std::move(assemble));
assemble.clear(); // be pedantic
...
- While a rectilinear mesh can be created with blockMesh, not every mesh
created with blockMesh will satisfy the requirements for being a
rectilinear mesh.
This alternative to blockMesh uses a single block that is aligned
with the xy-z directions and specifications of the control points,
mesh divisions and expansion ratios. For example,
x
{
points ( -13.28 -0.10 6.0 19.19 );
nCells ( 10 12 10 );
ratios ( 0.2 1 5 );
}
y { ... }
z { ... }
With only one block, the boundary patch definition is simple and the
canonical face number is used directly. For example,
inlet
{
type patch;
faces ( 0 );
}
outlet
{
type patch;
faces ( 1 );
}
sides
{
type patch;
faces ( 2 3 );
}
...
- After a mesh is defined, it is trivial to retrieve mesh-related
information such as cell-volume, cell-centres for any i-j-k location
without an actual polyMesh.
STYLE: remove -noFunctionObjects from blockMesh
- no time loop, so function objects cannot be triggered anyhow.
- PtrList::release() method.
Similar to autoPtr and unique_ptr and clearer in purpose than
using set(i,nullptr)
- Construct from List of pointers, taking ownership.
Useful when upgrading code. Eg,
List<polyPatch*> oldList = ...;
PtrList<polyPatch> newList(oldList);
...
BUG: incorrect resizing method names (PtrDynList) in previously unused code
- this functionality was originally added to allow sampling of volume
fields onto a surface in order to perform calculations on them.
However, the sampling framework essentially mirrored the
sampledSurface, but was less complete.
It is now possible to store sampled surfaces on a registry and
do calculation with their fields. This is the preferred method,
and thus removing the surfMeshSample duplicate code.
- previously wrapped raw points/faces with a meshedSurfRef on input,
but now handle the raw -> meshedSurf logic directly within
surfaceWriter to avoid holding references to temporaries
Since the updated meshedSurfRef is now modifiable, it can be used
directly as a redirection mechanism within surfaceWriter.
- add explicit close() in destructor
