Name
CacheType — How to store data for previous time steps.
Description
CacheType values are used by SetMeshDataCacheType and OOF.Settings.Mesh_Defaults.Data_Cache_Type to
set the type of storage used for time step data in Meshes. A
value of Memory means that the data will be
stored in RAM, which is usually fast but limited in size. A value
of Disk means that the data will be stored in
temporary files on disk, which is usually slower than RAM but not as
limited in extent.
When storing data on disk, OOF2 decides where to store the
temporary files by looking for the name of a writable directory in
the Unix environment variables OOFTMP,
TMPDIR, TEMP, and
TMP, in that order. If none of those variables
is set to the name of writable directory, OOF2 checks the
directories /tmp,
/var/tmp, and /usr/tmp, in
that order. If it still hasn't found a
writable directory, it raises an error and suggests setting
OOFTMP.
The temporary files are given names starting with
oof2-cache. Normally the files are deleted
when the Mesh is deleted. If the program ends abnormally, it's
possible that the files will not be deleted automatically.
