Syntax

Defined in couplingProperties dictionary.

locateModel turboEngine;
turboEngineProps
{
    treeSearch switch1;
}

  • switch1 = switch to use tree search algorithm

Examples

locateModel turboEngine;
turboEngineProps
{
    treeSearch true;
}

Description

The locateModel turboEngine locates the CFD cell and cellID corresponding to a given position. The algorithm is improved compared to engine search to show better parallel performance.

The turboEngineSearch locate Model can be used with different settings to use different algorithms:

  • faceDecomp false; treeSearch false; will execute some geometric (linear) search using the last known cellID

  • faceDecomp false; treeSearch true; will use a recursive tree structure to find the cell. (recommended)

Restrictions

none
