Detailed Description

A (quite large) class for exportation of data to IBM OpenDX.

           http://www.opendx.org/

This class is more capable than the VTK export, as it is possible to export many different meshes/slices, with their edges, datasets, and create series of dataset for animations etc, in a single '.dx' file.

Moreover, it is able to reopen a '.dx' file and append new data into it. Hence it is possible, if many time-steps are to be saved, to view intermediate results in OpenDX during the computation.

Member Function Documentation

exporting_mesh_edges()

void getfem::dx_export::exporting_mesh_edges

(

bool

with_slice_edge = true

)

append edges information (if you want to draw the mesh and are using a refined slice.

Should be called just after exporting(..)

serie_add_object()

void getfem::dx_export::serie_add_object	(	const std::string &	serie_name,
		const std::string &	object_name
	)

add an object (typically the name of a data field) to a 'series', i.e.

an aggregate of consecutive objects. Using 'series' is useful for animations in opendx

If 'field_name' corresponds to a data_set whose mesh edges have been exported, a second series called serie_name + '_edges' will be filled, which will allow you to view the mesh edges.
