vtkMFIXReader

Section: Visualization Toolkit IO Classes

Usage

vtkMFIXReader creates an unstructured grid dataset. It reads a restart file and a set of sp files. The restart file contains the mesh information. MFIX meshes are either cylindrical or rectilinear, but this reader will convert them to an unstructured grid. The sp files contain transient data for the cells. Each sp file has one or more variables stored inside it.

To create an instance of class vtkMFIXReader, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkMFIXReader

Methods

The class vtkMFIXReader has several methods that can be used. They are listed below. Note that the documentation is translated automatically from the VTK sources, and may not be completely intelligible. When in doubt, consult the VTK website. In the methods listed below, obj is an instance of the vtkMFIXReader class.

string = obj.GetClassName ()
int = obj.IsA (string name)
vtkMFIXReader = obj.NewInstance ()
vtkMFIXReader = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)
obj.SetFileName (string ) - Specify the file name of the MFIX Restart data file to read.
string = obj.GetFileName () - Specify the file name of the MFIX Restart data file to read.
int = obj.GetNumberOfCells () - Get the total number of cells. The number of cells is only valid after a successful read of the data file is performed.
int = obj.GetNumberOfPoints () - Get the total number of nodes. The number of nodes is only valid after a successful read of the data file is performed.
int = obj.GetNumberOfCellFields () - Get the number of data components at the nodes and cells.
obj.SetTimeStep (int ) - Which TimeStep to read.
int = obj.GetTimeStep () - Which TimeStep to read.
int = obj.GetNumberOfTimeSteps () - Returns the number of timesteps.
int = obj. GetTimeStepRange () - Which TimeStepRange to read
obj.SetTimeStepRange (int , int ) - Which TimeStepRange to read
obj.SetTimeStepRange (int a[2]) - Which TimeStepRange to read
int = obj.GetNumberOfCellArrays (void )
string = obj.GetCellArrayName (int index) - Get the name of the cell array with the given index in the input.
int = obj.GetCellArrayStatus (string name) - Get/Set whether the cell array with the given name is to be read.
obj.SetCellArrayStatus (string name, int status) - Get/Set whether the cell array with the given name is to be read.
obj.DisableAllCellArrays () - Turn on/off all cell arrays.
obj.EnableAllCellArrays () - Turn on/off all cell arrays.
obj.GetCellDataRange (int cellComp, int index, float min, float max) - Get the range of cell data.
