OOF2: The Manual
Name
ScheduledOutput — Output operations for time evolution.
Subclasses
Subclasses are listed as they appear in the GUI and (in parentheses) as they appear in scripts.
-
Update Graphics (
GraphicsUpdate
) -- Update all graphics windows -
Bulk Analysis (
BulkAnalysis
) -- Compute Fields, Fluxes, etc. on the Mesh. -
Boundary Analysis (
BoundaryAnalysis
) -- Compute averages and integrals on boundaries. -
Mesh File (
MeshFileOutput
) -- Save a complete Mesh data file containing field data at each output time. -
Time Step Statistics (
StepStatistics
) -- Print time stepping statistics. For meaningful results, schedule this with Conditional/Every Time. -
Named Analysis (
NamedAnalysisOutput
) -- Use a predefined bulk or boundary Analysis method.
Description
The ScheduledOutput
class contains output
operations that can be performed on a Mesh
during a time evolution
computation. The operations come in four flavors:
-
Analyses. These include anything that can be computed on the Analysis or Boundary Analysis pages. A new analysis operation can be created using the BulkAnalysis or BoundaryAnalysis classes, or an existing named analysis can be re-used by using he NamedAnalysisOutput class. Named Analyses can be created by using the Named Analyses pane on the Analysis or Boundary Analysis pages, or the OOF.Named_Analysis.Create or OOF.Mesh.Boundary_Analysis.Create commands.
-
Graphics Window Updates. During a time evolution, the Graphics Window is only updated when GraphicsUpdate is scheduled.
-
Saving the Mesh. The MeshFileOutput operation saves the current state of the
Mesh
in a file. -
Time Step Statistics. The time stepping methods print statistics on their step sizes at the end of a calculation. The same information can be saved in a file by added StepStatistics to the Scheduled Outputs.
ScheduledOutput objects are created and manipulated on the Scheduled Output page in the gui and by the OOF.Mesh.Scheduled_Output menu in scripts.
