Ensight surface writer does not write fields

    • Closed Issue created by Mattijs Janssens @Mattijs

    controlDict

    I'm running cavity with attached controlDict. It writes Ensight files to postProcessing/ but these are not referenced in the .case file so never loaded. (I think)

        Writing with collatedTImes = true looks fine. Eg,

        Surf1/Surf1.case                      <- references geometry and {p,U} variables for all times
Surf1/Surf1.00000.mesh
Surf1/Surf1.00000.{p,U}
...
Surf1/Surf1.00100.{p,U}

        But with collatedTimes = false, the structure is indeed destroyed. But the structure in the older version (Nov 2015) is not really great either (lots of duplication). Eg,

        time/Surf1.0000.case     <- references geometry only
time/Surf1.0000.mesh
time/p/Surf1.0000.case   <- references geometry and p at 1 time-value
time/p/Surf1.0000.mesh
time/U/Surf1.0000.p
time/U/Surf1.0000.case  <- references geometry and U at 1 time-value
time/U/Surf1.0000.mesh
time/U/Surf1.0000.U

        We thus have nVariables+1 geometry files for each time step. Is there a use case for this type of layout? Or should it just be eliminated?
