Post-processing of Adjoint Solutions

These tasks can be used to further process mesh sensitivities obtained from the adjoint solver in TRACE.

adjointDeformation

Perform an adjoint mesh deformation to calculate surface sensitivities from mesh sensitivities.

Usage

--adjointDeformation/-ad --cgnsFile <filename>  [options]

Mandatory sub-options:

\( \)

long option	short option	arguments	description
--cgnsFile	-cgns	filename	CGNS file for input and output
--panelfamily	-pf	(list of) name(s)	name(s) of one or more panel families for which adjoint displacements are computed and written

Optional sub-options:

\( \)

long option	short option	arguments	description
--terminationCriterion	-tc	number	specify relative termination criterion for GMRES algorithm (default value is 1.e-5)

Example

--adjointDeformation -cgns ../output/TRACE.meshSens.cgns -pf blade

Precondition

CGNS file has to contain mesh sensitivities (computed by TRACE).

Note

This task can be executed in parallel.

Warning

Only implemented for structured grids. Zonal interfaces are not supported.

Since

7.5

addMeshSensitivitiesAtBlockCuts

Add mesh sensitivities for vertices at block cuts to get smooth values.

Usage

--addMeshSensitivitiesAtBlockCuts/-ams --cgnsFile <filename>  [options]

Mandatory sub-options:

\( \)

long option	short option	arguments	description
--cgnsFile	-cgns	filename	CGNS file for input and output

Example

--addMeshSensitivitiesAtBlockCuts --cgnsFile TRACE.meshSens.cgns

Precondition

CGNS file has to contain mesh sensitivities (computed by TRACE).

Note

Only needed for visualization of mesh sensitivities.

This task can be executed in parallel.

Warning

The original mesh sensitivity field is overwritten.
