Name

OOF.Mesh.Scheduled_Output.Destination.Rewind — Rewind the destination file for the given output.

Synopsis

OOF.Mesh.Scheduled_Output.Destination.Rewind(mesh, output)

Details

  • Parent Menu: OOF.Mesh.Scheduled_Output.Destination
  • Callback: function _rewindDestination in module ooflib.engine.IO.scheduledoutputmenu

  • Parameters:

    mesh
    Type: The path to an existing Mesh object.
    output
    Name of the output whose destination is being rewound. Type: A character string.

Description

Rewinding an OutputDestination means that the Scheduled Output's file will be cleared before any more data is added to it. This happens even if the original file was opened for appending.

It may be desirable to rewind output destinations when repeating a time evolution calculation. If the destinatons are not rewound, data from the second calculation will be appended to data from the first.

Only file-based OutputDestinations can be rewound. This command has no effect on GraphicsUpdate or MessageWindowStream.
