pw:: CaeExporter

The CaeExporter IO mode type. If you do not require fine-grained control over the CAE export process, use the pw::Application.export action.

Derives From

pw::Object pw::Mode pw::IOMode

Notes

To create a mode of this type, use the pw::Application.begin command with the mode CaeExport specified, like this:

set exporter [pw::Application begin CaeExport $entities]

Instance Actions

getFileTypes

$io getFileTypes

This action gets a list of the file types that can export all of the entities of this mode.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

This action returns a list containing file type names that can be used in the <initialize> command.

addEntities

$io addEntities ?-path path? entities

This action adds entities to the uninitialized mode.

Parameters

-path path	This optional parameter specifies the framework path in which all the entities reside. The default value is the active framework.
-all	Specifies that all available entities should be added to the mode. If path is provided, all the entities that reside in that framework are added. This is the default.
entities	The list of entities, for the specified path, to be added to the mode.

Returns

This action returns nothing.

Example

Code

# Where,
#   fw     - a Framework entity
#   fwPath - the path to fw

$io addEntities -path $fwPath [pw::Grid getAll -framework $fw]

addAllEntities

$io addAllEntities

This action adds all mode appropriate entities from all frameworks to the uninitialized mode.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

The number of entities added to the mode. If the mode already contains entities, the duplicate entities will be silently skipped.

Note

This action can only be called after create, but before initialize.

verify

$io verify

This action verifies the IO mode attributes and the entities of the mode that should be exported.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

This action returns a boolean of true if verified, false if not.

Note

This action must be called after initialize, but before write.

Possible Errors

AttributeIsInvalid, UnsupportedEntityDetected, Unknown

canWrite

$io canWrite

This action checks if there is data that will be written out when the write action is used.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

This action returns a boolean of true if write will export data, false if not.

write

$io write

This action writes the file by converting pw::GridEntity objects into the format required for the exported data.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

This action returns a boolean of true if written, false if not. A Tcl error is thrown on failure if -strict was specified for <initialize>.

Note

This action must be called after initialize and verify.

Possible Errors

AttributeIsInvalid, UnsupportedEntityDetected, Unknown

Glyph Code Examples

Minimal CaeExport

Code example showing a minimal usage of a CaeExport mode.

Example

Code

package require PWI_Glyph 3.18


# This sample assumes:
#
#   * A grid file is loaded and is ready for CAE export.
#   * The solver is set to CGNS.
#   * $ents is the list of blocks to export
#
# This CaeExport mode code is equivalent to:
#
#   pw::Application export -precision Double $ents "C:\test.cgns"
#


# Create the CaeExport mode
set status abort
set caex [pw::Application begin CaeExport $ents]
