vtkOpenFOAMReader Summary (Updated from time to time)

About vtkOpenFOAMReader

Class Reference https://vtk.org/doc/release/7.1/html/classvtkOpenFOAMReader.html

I will summarize the behavior when actually running with python little by little

environment

python 3.7 vtk 8.1.2

Confirmation method

import Vtk
print(vtk.vtkVersion.GetVTKSourceVersion())
>> vtk version 8.1.2

Initialization

import vtk
filename = "a.foam"

reader = vtk.vtkOpenFOAMReader()
reader.SetFileName(filename)
reader.Update()
print(reader)

print output example

DisableAllCellArrays() / EnableAllCellArrays()

CellArray on / off

GetNumberOfCellArrays()

Returns the number of physical variable types contained in the object Example: Include U, p in variable-> 2

reader.GetNumberOfCellArrays()
>> 2

GetCellArrayStatus(name:string) Returns whether ** CellArray ** corresponding to the specified string exists

reader.GetCellArrayStatus("hoge")
>> 0
reader.GetCellArrayStatus("p")
>> 1

GetCellArrayName(index:int)

Returns the name of the physical variable corresponding to the index number

reader.GetCellArrayName(0)
>> 'U'
reader.GetCellArrayName(1)
>> 'p'
reader.GetCellArrayName(1000)
>> None

Display a list of physical variables (** CellArray **) contained in the object

for index in range(reader.GetNumberOfCellArrays()):
    nname = reader.GetCellArrayName(index)
    print(nname)
>> U p ...

GetNumberOfPatchArrays()

Returns the number of OpenFOAM patches + 1 Because +1 contains ** internalMesh **

reader.GetNumberOfPatchArrays()
>> e.g. 5

GetPatchArrayName(index:int) Returns patch name and internalMesh

reader.GetPatchArrayName(0)
>> 'internalMesh'
reader.GetPatchArrayName(1)
>> e.g. 'walls'
