18 Evolutions of the module
19 ************************
20 .. index:: single: evolution
22 Here are the main evolutions de HOMARD from the first release in SALOME 6.5.
25 - Interface with med 3.0.6
26 - Default values for the time steps
27 - New element types: TRIA7 and QUAD9
28 - Optional output into the MED file of the level of refinement of every element
31 - Correction of a bug in the filtering of the refinement by groups
32 - Driving of the adaptation by a threshold that is based upon the mean and the standard deviation (see :ref:`tui_create_hypothese`)
33 - TUI: the last time step for the driving instant can be selected by SetTimeStepRankLast (see :ref:`tui_create_iteration`)
34 - The destruction of the objects is available (GUI and TUI)
35 - The TUI functions are modified: they act onto the objects and no more by the names:
36 ``homard.AssociateIterHypo(iter_name,hypo_name)`` becomes ``iter.AssociateHypo(hypo_name)``, ``homard.AssociateHypoZone(hypo_name,zone_name,type_use)`` becomes ``hypo.AddZone(zone_name,type_use)``, ``homard.CreateIteration(iter_name,iter_parent_name)`` becomes ``case.NextIteration(iter_name)`` ou ``iter.NextIteration(iter_name)``
37 - Addition of a function:
38 ``cas.LastIteration()`` : returns the last iteration of the case (see :ref:`tui_create_iteration`)
39 - Mesh analysis (see :ref:`gui_mesh_info`)
42 - A cone can be used as a support for a 2D boundary (see :ref:`tui_create_boundary`)
43 - The result can be published or not published in SMESH (see :ref:`tui_create_iteration`)
44 ``iter.Compute(option)`` becomes ``iter.Compute(option1, option2)``
45 - A serie of iterations that is stored in a directory can be followed (see :ref:`gui_create_case`)
48 - English documentation
49 - Options to track the computation (see :ref:`tui_create_iteration`): ``iter.SetInfoCompute(MessInfo)``
50 - Automatic creation of YACS schema:
51 ``case.WriteYACSSchema(ScriptFile, DirName, MeshFile)``: writes a schema YACS relative to the case (see :ref:`tui_create_case`)
52 - The initial mesh is not published in SMESH.
53 - The refinement of 2D meshes with quadrangles is improved to take into account 'staircases'.
54 - The fields overs elements can be interpolated with two ways: intensive or extensive.
55 - The time steps for the interpolation of the files can be choosen:
56 ``SetFieldInterpTimeStep(FieldInterp, TimeStep)``: defines the time step for the interpolation of the field (see :ref:`tui_create_iteration`)
57 ``SetFieldInterpTimeStepRank(FieldInterp, TimeStep, Rank)``: defines the time step and the rank for the interpolation of the field (see :ref:`tui_create_iteration`)
58 - If error occurs into the python instructions, the program stops.
61 - Scroll bar for the large windows.
62 - The meshes are published only if requested.
63 - The torus is a new possibility for the analytical boundary.
64 - The function ``SetAdapRefinUnRef(TypeAdap, TypeRaff, TypeDera)`` is suppressed. For an adaptation by a field or by zones, the mode refinement/unrefinement is automatically set from the other parameters of the hypothesis. For a uniform refinement, the function ``SetUnifRefinUnRef(TypeRaffDera)`` is now used (see :ref:`tui_create_hypothese`).
65 - If an error occurs, the name of the message file is displayed.
66 - Release 11.1 for the HOMARD binary. The conformal refinement of the meshes with hexaedra is improved: less meshes are produced.
69 - Additional extra output: diameters and qualities; the function ``SetExtraOutput(option)`` is now used (see :ref:`tui_create_hypothese`).
70 - Release 11.2 for the HOMARD binary ; improvement for the 1D curve boundaries.
