locateModel engineSearchMany2Many command¶

Syntax¶

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

locateModel engineSearchMany2Many;
engineSearchMany2ManyProps
{
    engineProps
    {
        treeSearch switch1;
    }
}

switch1 = switch to use tree search algorithm

Examples¶

locateModel engineSearchMany2Many;
engineSearchMany2ManyProps
{
    engineProps
    {
        treeSearch true;
    }
}

Description¶

The locateModel “engine” locates the CFD cell and cellID corresponding to a given position. This model is a dummy for the twoWayMany2Many dataExchangeModel which locates using the specified “engine” during coupling.

Note

Using this model with any other dataExchangeModel will cause problems.

The engineSearchMany2Many locateModel can be used with different settings to use different algorithms:

treeSearch false; will execute some geometric (linear) search using the last known cellID (recommended)
treeSearch true; will use a recursive tree structure to find the cell.

Restrictions¶

Use only with the twoWayMany2Many dataExchangeModel!
