Detailed Description
Subfolder of a Project, regrouping input files and Run subfolders.
Subclass of Iterator, can be constructed from an Iterator, the Simulation is ok() only if the provided iterator is of the appropriate subclass.
Iterator it = prj.get("/Sim1/");
Simulation sim(it);
sim.ok()
In a Simulation, one or multiple Run are created, to store the simulation Results, organized in Output subfolders. The Simulation might have settings (Metadata) related to the solver settings, or common to all results in this folder hiearchy.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
◆ Simulation()
| ansys::Project::Simulation::Simulation | ( | Iterator | pIter | ) |
Constructor from Iterator.
The input Iterator must be of subclass Simulation If the subclass is not Simulation, the Simulation object is invalid ( !ok() )
◆ ~Simulation()
|
inlinevirtual |
Member Function Documentation
◆ getCurrentRun()
| Iterator ansys::Project::Simulation::getCurrentRun | ( | ) | const |
Return the current Run in the simulation - see setCurrentRun()
◆ getData()
| Iterator ansys::Project::Simulation::getData | ( | ) |
◆ getLink()
| Iterator ansys::Project::Simulation::getLink | ( | const std::string | pKey | ) |
◆ getListOfSubclass()
|
protected |
Search child hierarchy for items of the specified subclass.
◆ getResult()
| Iterator ansys::Project::Simulation::getResult | ( | const std::string & | pDataType | ) |
Returns the latest result of the specified type, in the current Run.
◆ getRun()
| Iterator ansys::Project::Simulation::getRun | ( | const std::string & | pName | ) | const |
◆ getRunGroup()
| RunGroup ansys::Project::Simulation::getRunGroup | ( | const std::string & | pName | ) | const |
Return the RunGroup by this name, in the current Simulation.
If the rungroup is in a subfolder the path to it is expected (same path type returned by getRunGroups() ) Simulation/RunGroup -> RunGroup Simulation/folder/RunGroup -> folder/RunGroup
◆ getRunGroups()
| std::vector< std::string > ansys::Project::Simulation::getRunGroups | ( | ) | const |
Return the list of RunGroups, by name, in this simulation.
If the rungroup is in a subfolder the relative path to it is included Simulation/RunGroup -> RunGroup Simulation/folder/RunGroup -> folder/RunGroup
◆ getRuns()
| std::vector< std::string > ansys::Project::Simulation::getRuns | ( | ) | const |
◆ hasLink()
| bool ansys::Project::Simulation::hasLink | ( | const std::string | pKey | ) |
◆ isSimulation()
|
static |
◆ isValid()
|
virtual |
Returns error with message if invalid.
Implements ansys::Project::SimBase.
◆ newLink()
| void ansys::Project::Simulation::newLink | ( | const std::string | pKey, |
| const Iterator & | pIter | ||
| ) |
◆ newRun()
| Run ansys::Project::Simulation::newRun | ( | std::string | pName, |
| Run::RunOutputType | pType | ||
| ) |
Create a Run folder in the current Simulation.
The Run folder is physical or virtual, depending of the project ProjectStoragePolicy The new run is given a name, and a type.
◆ newRunGroup()
| RunGroup ansys::Project::Simulation::newRunGroup | ( | std::string | pName, |
| Run::RunOutputType | pType | ||
| ) |
Create a new RunGroup - a virtual group of separate runs, can be assigned a type.
From the type, the mandatory and automatic variable constraints will apply to the RunGroup->Run association, as it would normally for Run->Output.
A RunGroup permits to define multiple levels of run type, for example a parametric RunGroup would contain transient Runs. The design point parameters are then assigned at the Run level, while the varying time values at the Output level.
◆ newRunInFolder()
| Run ansys::Project::Simulation::newRunInFolder | ( | std::string | pName, |
| Run::RunOutputType | pType, | ||
| Iterator | pFolder | ||
| ) |
Create a Run folder in the current Simulation subfolder.
The Run folder is physical or virtual, depending of the project ProjectStoragePolicy The new run is given a name, and a type.
◆ removeRun()
| Error ansys::Project::Simulation::removeRun | ( | const std::string & | pName, |
| bool | pFlagErase | ||
| ) |
Remove the specified run from the simulation.
- Parameters
-
pFlagErase If enabled, will erase the run folder and its data
◆ removeRunGroup()
| Error ansys::Project::Simulation::removeRunGroup | ( | const std::string & | pName, |
| bool | pFlagEraseRuns | ||
| ) |
◆ setCurrentRun()
| void ansys::Project::Simulation::setCurrentRun | ( | Iterator | pRun | ) |
