Detailed Description

This class implements writing meshes in the mesh format used by the MEdit visualization tool developed in the Gamma Project at INRIA Roquencourt. For a full description of the mesh format and to obtain the MEdit software see the MEdit home page.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MEDITIO() [1/2]

libMesh::MEDITIO::MEDITIO ( const MeshBase &  mesh_in )

inlineexplicit

Constructor. Takes a reference to a constant mesh object. This constructor will only allow us to write the mesh.

MEDITIO() [2/2]

libMesh::MEDITIO::MEDITIO ( const MeshBase &  mesh_in, unsigned int  c  )

inline

Constructor. Takes a reference to a constant mesh object. and the desired scalar index for mesh colouring. MEdit seems to understand only one scalar value.

ascii_precision()

unsigned int & libMesh::MeshOutput< MeshBase >::ascii_precision ( )

inlineinherited

Return/set the precision to use when writing ASCII files.

By default we use numeric_limits<Real>::digits10 + 2, which should be enough to write out to ASCII and get the exact same Real back when reading in.

virtualinherited

This method should be overridden by "parallel" output formats for writing nodal data. Instead of getting a localized copy of the nodal solution vector, it is passed a NumericVector of type=PARALLEL which is in node-major order i.e. (u0,v0,w0, u1,v1,w1, u2,v2,w2, u3,v3,w3, ...) and contains n_nodes*n_vars total entries. Then, it is up to the individual I/O class to extract the required solution values from this vector and write them in parallel.

If not implemented, localizes the parallel vector into a std::vector and calls the other version of this function.
