Member Function Documentation

virtual void AbstractDataWriter::AdvanceAlongUnlimitedDimension ( )

pure virtual

Dummy function for DoAdvanceAlongUnlimitedDimension. This method must be overridden in concrete classes.

Implemented in ColumnDataWriter, and ParallelColumnDataWriter.

virtual void AbstractDataWriter::Close ( )

pure virtual

Close any open files. This method must be overridden in concrete classes.

Implemented in ColumnDataWriter, and ParallelColumnDataWriter.

virtual int AbstractDataWriter::DefineFixedDimension ( const std::string &  rDimensionName, const std::string &  rDimensionUnits, long  dimensionSize  )

pure virtual

Define the fixed dimension. This method must be overridden in concrete classes.

Parameters

rDimensionName	The name of the dimension
rDimensionUnits	The physical units of the dimension
dimensionSize	The size of the dimension

Returns

The identifier of the variable

Implemented in ColumnDataWriter.

virtual int AbstractDataWriter::DefineUnlimitedDimension ( const std::string &  rDimensionName, const std::string &  rDimensionUnits  )

pure virtual

Define the unlimited dimension, i.e. the dimension that increases as the simulation progresses. This method must be overridden in concrete classes.

Parameters

rDimensionName	The name of the unlimited dimension
rDimensionUnits	The physical units of the unlimited dimension

Returns

The identifier of the variable

Implemented in ColumnDataWriter.

virtual int AbstractDataWriter::DefineVariable ( const std::string &  rVariableName, const std::string &  rVariableUnits  )

pure virtual

Define a variable. This method must be overridden in concrete classes.

Parameters

rVariableName	The name of the dimension
rVariableUnits	The physical units of the dimension

Returns

The identifier of the variable

Implemented in ColumnDataWriter.

virtual void AbstractDataWriter::EndDefineMode ( )

pure virtual

End the define mode of the DataWriter. This method must be overridden in concrete classes.

Implemented in ColumnDataWriter, and ParallelColumnDataWriter.

virtual void AbstractDataWriter::PutVariable ( int  variableID, double  variableValue, long  dimensionPosition = -1  )

pure virtual

Input the variable value to the output file or ancillary file This method must be overridden in concrete classes.

Parameters

variableID
variableValue
dimensionPosition	The position in column (defaults to -1). This is required if there is a fixed dimension, and will be the position along that dimension

Implemented in ColumnDataWriter, and ParallelColumnDataWriter.
