Subject: [PATCH] ENH: surfaceFieldValue - set surface output info for run-time
post-processing
If the 'writeFields' option is set in surfaceFieldValue, e.g.
surface1
{
type surfaceFieldValue;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);
operation none;
fields (p);
regionType patch;
name walls;
// Create a surface in VTK format
writeFields yes;
surfaceFormat vtk;
}
... the surface can now be used in runTimePostProcessing, e.g.:
surfaces
{
surfaceFieldValueOutput
{
type functionObjectSurface;
representation surface;
liveObject no;
field p;
colourBy field;
range (0 120000);
functionObject surface1;
}
}
Note: setting 'liveObject' to 'no' to suppress warnings due to the surface
not being retrieved from the object registry (default = 'yes') - this surface
can [currently] only be read from disk.
