22 Evolutions of the module
23 ************************
24 .. index:: single: evolution
26 Here are the main evolutions de HOMARD from the first release in SALOME 6.5.
29 - Interface with med 3.0.6
30 - Default values for the time steps
31 - New element types: TRIA7 and QUAD9
32 - Optional output into the MED file of the level of refinement of every element
35 - Correction of a bug in the filtering of the refinement by groups
36 - Driving of the adaptation by a threshold that is based upon the mean and the standard deviation (see :doc:`tui_create_hypothese`)
37 - TUI: the last time step for the driving instant can be selected by SetTimeStepRankLast (see :doc:`tui_create_iteration`)
38 - The destruction of the objects is available (GUI and TUI)
39 - The TUI functions are modified: they act onto the objects and no more by the names:
40 ``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)`` or ``iter.NextIteration(iter_name)``
41 - Addition of a function:
42 ``cas.LastIteration()`` : returns the last iteration of the case (see :doc:`tui_create_iteration`)
43 - Mesh analysis (see :doc:`gui_mesh_info`)
46 - A cone can be used as a support for a 2D boundary (see :doc:`tui_create_boundary`)
47 - The result can be published or not published in SMESH (see :doc:`tui_create_iteration`)
48 ``iter.Compute(option)`` becomes ``iter.Compute(option1, option2)``
49 - A serie of iterations that is stored in a directory can be followed (see :doc:`gui_create_case`)
52 - English documentation
53 - Options to track the computation (see :doc:`tui_create_iteration`): ``iter.SetInfoCompute(MessInfo)``
54 - Automatic creation of YACS schema:
55 ``case.WriteYACSSchema(ScriptFile, DirName, MeshFile)``: writes a schema YACS relative to the case (see :doc:`tui_create_case`)
56 - The initial mesh is not published in SMESH.
57 - The refinement of 2D meshes with quadrangles is improved to take into account 'staircases'.
58 - The fields overs elements can be interpolated with two ways: intensive or extensive.
59 - The time steps for the interpolation of the files can be choosen:
60 ``SetFieldInterpTimeStep(FieldInterp, TimeStep)``: defines the time step for the interpolation of the field (see :doc:`tui_create_iteration`)
61 ``SetFieldInterpTimeStepRank(FieldInterp, TimeStep, Rank)``: defines the time step and the rank for the interpolation of the field (see :doc:`tui_create_iteration`)
62 - If error occurs into the python instructions, the program stops.
65 - Scroll bar for the large windows.
66 - The meshes are published only if requested.
67 - The torus is a new possibility for the analytical boundary.
68 - 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 :doc:`tui_create_hypothese`).
69 - If an error occurs, the name of the message file is displayed.
70 - Release 11.1 for the HOMARD binary. The conformal refinement of the meshes with hexaedra is improved: less meshes are produced.
73 - Additional extra output: diameters and qualities; the function ``SetExtraOutput(option)`` is now used (see :doc:`tui_create_hypothese`).
74 - Release 11.2 for the HOMARD binary ; improvement for the 1D curve boundaries.
77 - Interpolation of all the fields into the input file.
80 - Interface with med 3.2.0
81 - New options within the choice conformal/non-conformal.
82 - Less meshes are involved in the case of a non conformal refinement of a mesh made of hexahedra.
83 - Correction of an error when refinement and unrefinement are coupled for a mesh made of hexahedra.
86 - Interface with med 3.2.1
87 - Output of the list of the meshes that are connected with a non conformal link.
90 - Interface with med 3.3.0
91 - Correction for the conformal coarsening of a set of hexaedra
92 - Correction of the interpolation od a volumic field over prisms which are splitted into tetrahedra and pyramids
93 - Integer MED fields to glue the elements with different levels when non conformal refinement is used
