Detailed Description

Defines Support Data for the CAEP_RTITEM Array.

The file rtCaepSupportData.h defines and initilizes the support data for the global CAEP_RTITEM caepRtItem[] array. The CAE Plugin SDK uses this data to implement the functions and behaviors required by the Pointwise CAE Plugin API Specification (CAEP-API). If you want to see the SDK implementation details, look in the /shared/CAEP/apiCAEP.cxx file.

The SDK file /shared/CAEP/apiCAEP.cxx includes rtCaepSupportData.h prior to the declaration of the caepRtItem[] array as shown below.

#include "rtCaepSupportData.h"
 
/*------------------------------------*/
CAEP_RTITEM caepRtItem[] = {
    //************************************************
    // impl-defined CAE format data
    //************************************************
#   include "rtCaepInitItems.h"
};
PWP_UINT32 caepFormatCnt = ARRAYSIZE(caepRtItem);

When copied from the src/plugins/templates/CAEP/ folder to your plugins project folder, rtCaepSupportData.h will contain the support data needed for the 3 example CAEP_RTITEM array items. This example support data must be culled and edited as needed for your plugin's implementation.

The support data used by the CAE Plugin SDK includes the following:

• Array of valid Boundary Conditions (CAEP_BCINFO) definitions.
• Array of valid Volume Conditions (CAEP_VCINFO) definitions.
• Array of valid File Extension definitions.

These support arrays are referenced in rtCaepInitItems.h to initialize the corresponding data members.

Example Support Data Usage

The code segments below show how the example support data is implemented by the SDK in the rtCaepSupportData.h and rtCaepInitItems.h template files.

The example support data declaration and initialization in rtCaepSupportData.h:

CAEP_BCINFO CaeXxxxxBCInfo[] = {
    { "inflow-CaeXxxxx", 100 },
    { "outflow-CaeXxxxx", 101 },
    { "wall-CaeXxxxx", 102 },
};
/*------------------------------------*/
CAEP_VCINFO CaeXxxxxVCInfo[] = {
    { "viscous-CaeXxxxx", 200 },
    { "invisid-CaeXxxxx", 201 },
};
/*------------------------------------*/
const char *CaeXxxxxFileExt[] = {
    "Xxxxx"
};
/************************************************************************/
\skipline };
