Namespace Foam::functionObjects Description Namespace for functionObjects. OpenFOAM includes a collection of functionObjects selected by the user at run-time to manipulate the simulation and provide mechanisms to extract field and derived quantities. Alternatively, the same actions can be executed after the simulation using the \c -postProcess command-line option. functionObjects are selected by entries in the $FOAM_CASE/system/functions dictionary e.g. to select the \c functionObjectType functionObject the following entry would be specified: \verbatim { type functionObjectType; libs ("libMyFunctionObjectlib.so"); region defaultRegion; enabled yes; startTime 0; endTime 10; writeControl writeTime; writeInterval 1; ... } \endverbatim Where: \table Property | Description | Required | Default value type | Type of functionObject | yes | libs | Shared libraries | no | region | Name of region | no | enabled | On/off switch | no | yes log | Print data to log | no | no startTime | Start time | no | endTime | End time | no | executeAtStart | Execute at start time switch | no | yes executeControl | See time controls below | no | timeStep executeInterval | Steps between each execution | no | executeTimes | List of execution times | no | writeControl | See time controls below | no | timeStep writeInterval | Steps between each write | no | writeTimes | List of write times | no | writeFrequencies | List of write frequencies | no | \endtable Time controls: \table Option | Description timeStep | Execute/write every 'Interval' time-steps writeTime | Execute/write every 'Interval' write times adjustableRunTime | Execute/write every 'Interval' run time period runTime | Execute/write every 'Interval' run time period runTimes | Execute/write at specified list of run times clockTime | Execute/write every 'Interval' clock time period cpuTime | Execute/write every 'Interval' CPU time period none | No execution \endtable The sub-dictionary name \c \ is chosen by the user, and is typically used as the name of the output directory for any data written by the functionObject. The \c type entry defines the type of function object properties that follow. FunctionObjects are packaged into separate libraries and the \c libs entry is used to specify which library should be loaded. Each functionObject has two separate run phases: - The \c execute phase is meant to be used for updating calculations or for management tasks. - The \c write phase is meant for writing the calculated data to disk. For each phase the respective time controls are provided, as listed above. Class Foam::functionObject Description Abstract base-class for Time/database functionObjects.
