Detailed Description

This class encapsulates the metadata that appear in mesh-based file formats but do not appear in vtkUnstructuredGrid. It can pack itself into the field arrays of a vtkUnstructuredGrid, and be unpacked by metadata aware filters and writers later on.

This class is inspired by the Exodus II file format, but because this class does not depend on the Exodus library, it should be possible to use it to represent metadata for other dataset file formats. Sandia Labs uses it in their Exodus II reader, their Exodus II writer and their EnSight writer. vtkDistributedDataFilter looks for metadata attached to it's input and redistributes the metadata with the grid.

The fields in this class are those described in the document "EXODUS II: A Finite Element Data Model", SAND92-2137, November 1995.

Element and node IDs stored in this object must be global IDs, in the event that the original dataset was partitioned across many files.

One way to initialize this object is by using vtkExodusModel (a Sandia class used by the Sandia Exodus reader). That class will take an open Exodus II file and a vtkUnstructuredGrid drawn from it and will set the required fields.

Alternatively, you can use all the Set* methods to set the individual fields. This class does not copy the data, it simply uses your pointer. This class will free the storage associated with your pointer when the class is deleted. Most fields have sensible defaults. The only requirement is that if you are using this ModelMetadata to write out an Exodus or EnSight file in parallel, you must SetBlockIds and SetBlockIdArrayName. Your vtkUnstructuredGrid must have a cell array giving the block ID for each cell.

Warning
The Exodus II library supports an optimized element order map (section 3.7 in the SAND document). It contains all the element IDs, listed in the order in which a solver should process them. We don't include this, and won't unless there is a request.
There is an assumption in some classes that the name of the cell array containing global element ids is "GlobalElementId" and the name of the point array containing global node ids is "GlobalNodeId". (element == cell) and (node == point).

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vtkModelMetadata::GetClassName ( )
virtual

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static int vtkModelMetadata::IsTypeOf ( const char *  type)
static
virtual int vtkModelMetadata::IsA ( const char *  name)
virtual

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static vtkModelMetadata* vtkModelMetadata::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject o)
static
virtual void vtkModelMetadata::PrintSelf ( ostream &  os,
vtkIndent  indent 
)
virtual

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static vtkModelMetadata* vtkModelMetadata::New ( )
static
virtual void vtkModelMetadata::PrintGlobalInformation ( )
virtual

The global fields are those which pertain to the whole file. Examples are the title, information lines, and list of block IDs. This method prints out all the global information.

virtual void vtkModelMetadata::PrintLocalInformation ( )
virtual

The local fields are those which depend on exactly which blocks, which time step, and which variables you read in from the file. Examples are the number of cells in each block, and the list of nodes in a node set, or the value of the global variables at a time step. If VERBOSE_TESTING is defined in your execution environment, this method will print more than mere counts, and actually print a few of the IDs, distribution factors and so on. If VERY_VERBOSE_TESTING is defined, it will print out all ID lists, distribution factor lists, and so on.

void vtkModelMetadata::SetSideSetDistributionFactors ( float *  )

Set or get a pointer to a list of all the distribution factors. For every side set that has distribution factors, the number of factors per node was given in the SideSetNumberOfDistributionFactors array. If this number for a given side set is N, then for that side set we have N floating point values for each node for each side in the side set. If nodes are repeated in more than one side, we repeat the distribution factors. So this list is in order by side set, by node. We use your pointer, and free the memory when the object is freed.

In this method, provide the number of original element variables, the names of the original element variables, the number of element variables in the UGrid, the number of components for each of those variables, and a map from each UGrid variable to the the variable in the list of original names that represents it's first component.

The ModelMetadata object may contain these lists: o the variables in the original data file o the variables created in the u grid from those original variables o a mapping from the grid variable names to the original names o a list of the number of components each grid variable has (Example: Variables in Exodus II files are all scalars. Some are combined by the ExodusReader into vector variables in the grid.) These methods return names of the original variables, the names of the grid variables, a list of the number of components in each grid variable, and a list of the index into the list of original variable names where the original name of the first component of a grid variable may be found.

int vtkModelMetadata::AddUGridElementVariable ( char *  ugridVarName,

In order to write Exodus files from vtkUnstructuredGrid objects that were read from Exodus files, we need to know the mapping from variable names in the UGrid to variable names in the Exodus file. (The Exodus reader combines scalar variables with similar names into vectors in the UGrid.) When building the UGrid to which this ModelMetadata refers, add each element and node variable name with this call, including the name of original variable that yielded it's first component, and the number of components. If a variable is removed from the UGrid, remove it from the ModelMetadata. (If this information is missing or incomplete, the ExodusIIWriter can still do something sensible in creating names for variables.)

int vtkModelMetadata::RemoveUGridElementVariable ( char *  ugridVarName)

In order to write Exodus files from vtkUnstructuredGrid objects that were read from Exodus files, we need to know the mapping from variable names in the UGrid to variable names in the Exodus file.

When building the UGrid to which this ModelMetadata refers, add each element and node variable name with this call, including the name of original variable that yielded it's first component, and the number of components. If a variable is removed from the UGrid, remove it from the ModelMetadata.

int vtkModelMetadata::MergeModelMetadata ( const vtkModelMetadata em)

In VTK we take vtkUnstructuredGrids and perform operations on them, including subsetting and merging grids. We need to modify the metadata object when this happens. MergeModelMetadata merges the supplied model (both global and local metadata) into this model. The models must be from the same file set. MergeModelMetadata assumes that no element in one metadata object appears in the other. (It doesn't test for duplicate elements when merging the two metadata objects.)

The metadata is divided into global metadata and local metadata. MergeGlobalInformation merges just the global metadata of the supplied object into the global metadata of this object.
