Class Foam::functionObjects::cutLayerAverage Description This function object writes graphs of cell values, volume-averaged in planes perpendicular to a given direction or in contours of a given distance field. It adaptively grades the distribution of graph points to match the resolution of the mesh. Unlike the \c layerAverage function, this function does not require the mesh to be of any specific structure. This function will cut cells that span multiple layers in order to distribute their contributions between the layers. The cutting process has an expense associated with it and the point grading is calculated iteratively and is somewhat approximate. Example of function object specification: \verbatim cutLayerAverage1 { type cutLayerAverage; libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so"); writeControl writeTime; writeInterval 1; direction (1 0 0); nPoints 100; interpolate no; fields (p U); axis x; setFormat raw; } \endverbatim Usage \table Property | Description | Required | Default value type | type name: cutLayerAverage | yes | cellZone | The name of the cell zone | yes | direction | Axis along which to plot | if distance not specified | distance | Distance field along which to plot \\ | if direction not specified | nPoints | Number of points in the plot | yes | interpolate | Do linear interpolation | no | false fields | Fields to plot values of | yes | axis | Component of the position to plot against | yes | setFormat | Format of the output file | yes | \endtable See also Foam::functionObjects::layerAverage SourceFiles cutLayerAverage.C \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef cutLayerAverage_H #define cutLayerAverage_H #include "fvMeshFunctionObject.H" #include "generatedCellZone.H" #include "cutPlot.H" #include "setWriter.H" // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // namespace Foam { class polyPatch; namespace functionObjects { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Class cutLayerAverage Declaration \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class cutLayerAverage : public fvMeshFunctionObject { // Private Data //- The set of cells to average generatedCellZone zone_; //- Direction along which to plot vector direction_; //- Name of the distance field along which to plot word distanceName_; //- Number of layers label nLayers_; //- Whether or not to interpolate bool interpolate_; //- Fields to plot wordList fields_; //- The direction over which to plot the results coordSet::axisType axis_; //- File writer autoPtr formatter_; //- Number of optimisation iterations.
