Detailed Description

Writes fields in ensight format.

Example of function object specification:

ensight
{
    type            ensightWrite;
    libs            (utilityFunctionObjects);
    writeControl    writeTime;
    writeInterval   1;
    format          binary;

    timeFormat      scientific;
    timePrecision   5;

    overwrite       true;
    width           12;

    fields          (U p);
    // excludeFields  ("force.*");

    selection
    {
        box
        {
            action  use;
            source  box;
            box     (-0.1 -0.01 -0.1) (0.1 0.30 0.1);
        }
        dome
        {
            action  add;
            shape   sphere;
            origin  (-0.1 -0.01 -0.1);
            radius  0.25;
        }
        centre
        {
            action  subtract;
            source  sphere;
            origin  (-0.1 -0.01 -0.1);
            radius  0.1;
        }
        blob
        {
            action  add;
            source  surface;
            surface triSurfaceMesh;
            name    blob.stl;
        }
    }
}

Basic Usage

Property	Description	Required	Default
`type`	Type name: ensightWrite	yes
`fields`	Fields to output	yes
`excludeFields`	Exclude fields from output (wordRe list)	no
`boundary`	Convert boundary fields	no	true
`internal`	Convert internal fields	no	true
`nodeValues`	Write values at nodes	no	false

Ensight Output Options

Property	Description	Required	Default
`format`	ascii or binary format	no	binary
`width`	Mask width for `data/XXXX`	no	8
`directory`	The output directory name	no	postProcessing/NAME
`overwrite`	Remove existing directory	no	false
`consecutive`	Consecutive output numbering	no	false
`timeFormat`	Time format (ensight case)	no	scientific
`timePrecision`	Time precision (ensight case)	no	5

Output Selection

Property	Description	Required	Default
`region`	Name for a single region	no	region0
`faceZones`	Select faceZones to write	no
`patches`	Limit to listed patches (wordRe list)	no
`excludePatches`	Exclude specified patches	no
`selection`	Cell selection (topoSet actions)	no	empty dict

Note: The region of interest is defined by the selection dictionary as a set of actions (use,add,subtract,subset,invert). Omitting the selection dictionary is the same as specifying the conversion of all cells (in the selected regions). Omitting the patches entry is the same as specifying the conversion of all patches.

Consecutive output numbering can be used in conjunction with overwrite.
