Detailed Description

A class used to represent a set of boundary conditions of the same type, tied to the same mesh.

Each boundary condition object stores a set of boundary conditions, all sharing the same type and mesh. It also stores a set of properties for each single condition.

Properties are described by a GmValueInfo object and stored in a GmValueSet, thus allowing for us to have boundary condition values expressed by functions. An example can be a surface temperature that changes over time.

The meaning of each of the properties are collectivelly identified by the object type parameter, which should be interpreted by the physics object that will ultimatelly use this boundary condition. A condition also stores where it should be applied. All conditions in the object are tied to the same kind of application point (node, edge, face or cell) as can be queried by a call to bcType().

IMPORTANT: After an object of type GmBoundaryCondition is constructed, it has its basic control parameters in place and also memory allocated for storing the bcs properties, which should be further initialized by calls to setNode()/setBoundary() and by filling properties through the use of accessors.

Member Function Documentation

◆ loadFromTable()

GmBoundaryCondition * GmBoundaryCondition::loadFromTable ( LuaTable tab,
GmSimulationData data,
const GmLogCategory logger 
)
static

Loads a boundary condition object full definition from a Lua table.

The new object is initialized with the data found in the table. Returns NULL and prints an error message using the supplied logger in case of errors (like an invalid bc definition point node or boundary).

This function expects that a basic validation step has been done elsewhere.

If the 'merge' field in the boundary condition description is equal to 0, no merging attempt will be made. If equal to an integer number greater than 0, a merge attempt will be made using that value as the maximum number of different lines that can be found in the merge attempt. Use a big number for an unbounded number of possible unique values (might be slow). If the field is absent, the default from the 'defBoundaryConditionMerge' field in the set of simulation options will be used (otherwise a value of 0 will be used).

◆ propertyAccessor()

GmBoundaryConditionAccessor * GmBoundaryCondition::propertyAccessor ( QString  propertyId,
Unit  desiredUnit,
const GmLogCategory logger 
) const

Returns an accessor for property values in the desired unit (can be a default unit for no unit conversion).

The returned pointer must be deallocated by the caller. Returns NULL if the property doesn't exists or an accessor can't be created (can't convert to the desired unit, for example).

The logger parameter exists to allow for the accessor to report errors when evaluating a function value, for example.
