Synopsis

Details

Description

StepStatistics is a dubiously useful ScheduledOutput that gathers statistics on the number and size of the time steps taken when solving a time dependent problem. Since the same statistics are automatically printed to the Messages Window after every solution, this class is only useful if for some reason you need those numbers saved in a file.

StepStatistics doesn't produce any output until the time evolution is complete. However, it does need to be invoked at intermediate times so that it can accumulate statistics. This is done by setting scheduletype to ConditionalOutputSchedule and schedule to EveryTime in OOF.Mesh.Scheduled_Output.Schedule.Set.
