Member Function Documentation

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::AdvanceAlongUnlimitedDimension (  )  [pure virtual]

Dummy function for DoAdvanceAlongUnlimitedDimension. 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.

virtual void AbstractDataWriter::Close (  )  [pure virtual]

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

Implemented in ColumnDataWriter, and ParallelColumnDataWriter.
