Tasks for the creation and removal of analysis surfaces.

removeIntersectionPanels

Usage
--removeIntersectionPanels/-rip -cgns <filename>
Mandatory sub-options:
\( \)
long option short option arguments description
--cgnsFile -cgns filename CGNS file for input and output
Note
This task is executed on a single process.

intersectPanel

create analysis surfaces for 2D online information from TRACE

Usage
--intersectPanel/-ip --cgnsFile <filename> --gridFile <filename> [optionalOptions]
Mandatory sub-options:
\( \)
long option short option arguments description
--cgnsFile -cgns filename CGNS file for input and output
--gridFile -gf filename input file with grid to define the cut
Optional sub-options:
\( \)
long option short option arguments description
--bandFile -bf filename input file to define band positions
--clipFile -clf filename input file to define clipping boundaries
--cutFile -cf filename input file to define cutting positions
--cutName -cn name name of universal cut
Example
Minimal command line:
--intersectPanel --gridFile grid.dat -cgns TRACE.cgns
Usage with cut and band files:
--intersectPanel --gridFile grid.dat --cutFile cut.dat --bandFile band.dat -cgns TRACE.cgns
Note
This task can be executed in parallel.

createBandedBoundary

Create 2D zones by intersecting the mesh of a boundary panel family with bands, i.e. panel section bounded by lines of constant radius or z coordinate defined es eta coordinate (relative channel height). If no band definition file is given 50 bands of equal eta extent are used. The band definition is a tecplot ascii formatted, aka. dat, file holding the eta values (CoordinateEta) as the only variable.

Usage
--createBandedBoundary/-cbbp -cgns <CGNSFile> -bandFile/-bf <band defintion file> -pf <panelFamilies>
Mandatory sub-options:
\( \)
long option short option arguments description
--cgnsFile -cgns filename CGNS file for input and output
--panelfamily -pf panel family names all names of panel families for which a banded boundary panel is to be constructed
Optional sub-options:
\( \)
long option short option arguments description
--bandFile -bf Band definition file file containing the eta positions
Example
-cgns TRACE.cgns -cbbp -pf row001Outlet -pf bandDefinition.dat
