Constructor & Destructor Documentation

NameBasedIO() [1/2]

libMesh::NameBasedIO::NameBasedIO ( const MeshBase &  mesh )

inlineexplicit

Constructor.

Takes a reference to a constant mesh object. This constructor will only allow us to write the mesh.

Definition at line 110 of file namebased_io.h.

NameBasedIO() [2/2]

libMesh::NameBasedIO::NameBasedIO ( MeshBase &  mesh )

inlineexplicit

Constructor.

Takes a writable reference to a mesh object. This constructor is required to let us read in a mesh.

Member Function Documentation

ascii_precision()

unsigned int & libMesh::MeshOutput< MeshBase >::ascii_precision ( )

inlineinherited

Return/set the precision to use when writing ASCII files.

By default we use numeric_limits<Real>::max_digits10, which should be enough to write out to ASCII and get the exact same Real back when reading in.

}

get_add_sides()

virtual bool libMesh::MeshOutput< MeshBase >::get_add_sides ( )

inlineprotectedvirtualinherited

Returns

Whether or not added sides are expected to be output, to plot SIDE_DISCONTINUOUS data. Subclasses should override this if they are capable of plotting such data.

Reimplemented in libMesh::ExodusII_IO.

set_n_partitions()

Sets the number of partitions in the mesh.

Typically this gets done by the partitioner, but some parallel file formats begin "pre-partitioned".

virtualinherited

This method may be overridden by "parallel" output formats for writing nodal data.

Instead of getting a localized copy of the nodal solution vector, it is passed a NumericVector of type=PARALLEL which is in node-major order i.e. (u0,v0,w0, u1,v1,w1, u2,v2,w2, u3,v3,w3, ...) and contains n_nodes*n_vars total entries. Then, it is up to the individual I/O class to extract the required solution values from this vector and write them in parallel.

If not implemented, localizes the parallel vector into a std::vector and calls the other version of this function.

This method should be overridden by "parallel" output formats for writing nodal data.

Instead of getting a localized copy of the nodal solution vector, it directly uses EquationSystems current_local_solution vectors to look up nodal values.
