Constructor & Destructor Documentation

VISWriter()

VISWriter::VISWriter	(	unsigned long	writeFrequency,
		std::string	outputPrefix
	)

Writes out a file (using *.vis-format) containing coordinates + orientation (using quaternions) of each molecule for several timesteps.

Depending on write frequency (for example: every timestep, or every 10th, 100th, 1000th ...) number of frames can be controlled. The *.vis-file can be visualized by visualization software like:

• MolCloud (visit: http://www.visus.uni-stuttgart.de/index.php?id=995)
• MegaMol (visit: https://svn.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/trac/megamol/)

Parameters

filename	Name of the *.vis-file (including path)
particleContainer	The molecules that have to be written to the file are stored here
domainDecomp	In the parallel version, the file has to be written by more than one process. Methods to achieve this are available in domainDecomp
writeFrequency	Controls the frequency of writing out the data (every timestep, every 10th, 100th, ... timestep)

Member Function Documentation

endStep()

void VISWriter::endStep ( ParticleContainer *  particleContainer, DomainDecompBase *  domainDecomp, Domain *  domain, unsigned long  simstep  )

virtual

Method endStep will be called at the end of each time step.

This method will be called every time step passing the simstep as an additional parameter. It can be used e.g. to write per time step data to a file or perform additional computations.

Parameters

particleContainer	particle container storing the (local) molecules
domainDecomp	domain decomposition in use
domain

Implements PluginBase.

finish()

void VISWriter::finish ( ParticleContainer *  particleContainer, DomainDecompBase *  domainDecomp, Domain *  domain  )

virtual

Method finish will be called at the end of the simulation.

This method will be called once at the end of the simulation. It can be used e.g. to closing output files or writing final statistics.

Parameters

particleContainer	particle container storing the (local) molecules
domainDecomp	domain decomposition in use
domain

Implements PluginBase.

getPluginName()

std::string VISWriter::getPluginName ( )

inlinevirtual

return the name of the plugin

Implements PluginBase.

init()

void VISWriter::init ( ParticleContainer *  particleContainer, DomainDecompBase *  domainDecomp, Domain *  domain  )

virtual

Method init will be called at the begin of the simulation.

This method will be called once at the begin of the simulation just right before the main time step loop. It can be used e.g. to open output files or initialize statistics.

Parameters

particleContainer	particle container storing the (local) molecules
domainDecomp	domain decomposition in use
domain

Implements PluginBase.

readXML()

void VISWriter::readXML ( XMLfileUnits &  xmlconfig )

virtual

Method readXML will be called once for each plugin section in the input file.

This method can be used to read in parameters from the corresponding plugin section in the xml config file. The method will be called once after an instance of the plugin is created.

Note

The same plugins may be specified multiple times in the xml config file. It is the responsibility of the plugin to handle this case in a propper way.

The following xml object structure will be provided to the plugin:

<plugin name="plugin name">
  <!-- options for the specific plugin -->
</plugin>

Parameters

xmlconfig

section of the xml file

Implements PluginBase.
