Description
While solving a
time dependent problem, a BoundaryAnalysis
can be scheduled to track
the time dependence of any quantity that can be computed on the
Boundary Analysis
page. For quantities computable from the Analysis page, see BulkAnalysis
To store a boundary analysis operation for re-use either on the Boundary Analysis page or as a Scheduled Output, it can be given a name on the Boundary Analysis page and used in a NamedAnalysisOutput scheduled output.
The OutputDestination for a
BulkAnalysis
must be a OutputStream (file) or a MessageWindowStream.
When data is written to the output stream, it is preceded by a
header describing the source of the output and the contents of each
column. Each line of the header begins with a comment character
(default “#
”, which can be
changed by the OOF.Settings.Output_Formatting.Comment_Character
command in the main window's menubar. The characters separating the
columns (default “,
”) can be
changed by the OOF.Settings.Output_Formatting.Separator
command. If more than one BulkAnalysis or
BoundaryAnalysis
is writing to the same
stream, the headers will be repeated whenever the data switches from
one analysis to another.
