README_USERD_2.03
=================
--------------------------------------
EnSight User Defined Reader Capability ===> (API 2.03)
--------------------------------------
A user defined reader capability is included in EnSight which can allow
otherwise unsupported structured or unstructured data to be read. The user
defined reader capability utilizes dynamic shared libraries composed of
routines defined in this document but produced by you, the user, (or some
third party). This capability is currently available for dec, ibm, hp, sgi,
sun, linux, alpha linux, and NT servers.
You should refer to beginning of README_USERD_2.0 and/or README_1.0_to_2.0
for a discussion of the differences between API 1.0 and API 2.*.
***>> API 2.03 additional capabilities (beyond API 2.01):
1. Routines to handle materials
2. Routines to handle nsided and nfaced elements
3. Modified routine to handle structured ranges
****************************************************************************
Note: The dummy_gold reader, the Ensight Gold example reader, and the
SILO reader have been moved to this 2.03 API level.
****************************************************************************
The process for producing a user defined reader is:
---------------------------------------------------
1. Write code for all pertinent routines in the library (Unless someone else
has done this for you).
This is of course where the work is done by the user. The word
"pertinent" is used because depending on the nature of the data, some
of the routines in the library may be dummy routines.
The source code for a dummy_gold library and for various other
working or sample libraries is copied from the installation CD during
installation. These will be located in directories under:
$CEI_HOME/ensight76/user_defined_src/readers
examples:
--------
Basic dummy_gold routines provide skeleton for a new reader
$CEI_HOME/ensight76/user_defined_src/readers/dummy_gold
Sample library which reads unstructured binary EnSight Gold data
$CEI_HOME/ensight76/user_defined_src/readers/ensight_gold
You may find it useful to place your library source in this area as
well, but are not limited to this location.
* ===> The descriptions of each library routine and the order that the
routines are called, which is provided in this file, along with
the example libraries, should make it possible for you to produce
code for your own data reader.
2. Produce the dynamic shared library.
This is a compiling and loading process which varies according to
the type of machine you are on. In the user-defined-reader source
tree we have tried to isolate the machine dependent parts of the
build process using a set of files in the 'config' directory. In this
directory there is a configuration file for each platform on which
EnSight is supported. Before you can compile the installed readers
you should run the script called 'init' in the config directory.
i.e. (for UNIX)
cd config
./init sgi_6.5_n64
cd ..
make
If you are compiling for Windows NT, there are two options. If you
have the Cygwin GNU utilities installed, you can use GNU make as for
Unix. Otherwise, there is a script called makeall.cmd which will
build all of the readers using nmake. The Makefiles in each reader
directory will work using either make or nmake.
i.e. (WIN32 Cygwin) (using nmake)
cd config cd config
sh init win32 cp win32 config
cd .. cd ..
mkdir lib
make makeall.cmd
If you have platform-specific portions of code in your reader, the
build system defines a set of flags which can be used within
#ifdef ... #endif regions in your source, as shown in the table
below.
Because the readers are now dynamically opened by EnSight, you may
have to include dependent libraries on your link-line to avoid having
unresolved symbols. If you are having problems with a reader, start
ensight as "ensight7 -readerdbg" and you will get feedback on any
problems encountered in loading a reader. If there are unresolved
symbols, you need to find the library which contains the missing
symbols and link it into your reader by adding it to the example
link commands below.
If you choose to use a different build environment for your reader,
you should take care to use compatible compilation flags to ensure
compatibilty with the EnSight executables, most notably on the SGI
and HP-UX 11.0 platforms, which should use the following flags:
sgi_6.2_o32: -mips2
sgi_6.2_n64: -mips4 -64
sgi_6.5_n32: -mips3
sgi_6.5_n64: -mips4 -64
hp_11.0_32: +DA2.0
hp_11.0_64: +DA2.0W

Once you have created your library, you should place it in a directory
of your choice or in the standard reader location:
$CEI_HOME/ensight76/machines/$CEI_ARCH/lib_readers
For example, if you created a reader for "mydata", you should create
the reader libuserd-mydata.so and place the file in your own reader
directory (see section 3 below) or in the standard location:
$CEI_HOME/ensight76/machines/$CEI_ARCH/lib_readers/libuserd-mydata.so
3. By default EnSight will load all readers found in the directory:
$CEI_HOME/ensight76/machines/$CEI_ARCH/lib_readers
Files with names "libuserd-X.so" (where X is a name unique to the reader)
are assumed to be user-defined readers.
There are two methods which can be used to supplement the default
behavior.
(1) A feature which is useful for site-level or user-level configuration
is the optional environment variable $ENSIGHT7_READER. This
variable directs EnSight to load all readers in the specified reader
directory (you should probably specify a full path) before loading
the built-in readers. If the same reader exists in both directories
(as determined by the name returned by USERD_get_name_of_reader(),
NOT by the filename), the locally configured reader will take
precedence.
(2) A useful feature for end-users is the use of the libuserd-devel
reader. EnSight will search for a reader named libuserd-devel.so
(.sl for HP or .dll for NT). This reader can exist anywhere in the
library path (see below) of the user. This is useful for an
individual actively developing a reader because the existence of a
libuserd-devel library will take precedence over any other library
which returns the same name from USERD_get_name_of_reader().
As an example, a site may install commonly used readers in a common
location, and users can set the ENSIGHT7_READER variable to access them:
setenv ENSIGHT7_READER /usr/local/lib/e7readers
A user working on a new reader may compile the reader and place it in
a directory specified by the library path:
cp libuserd-myreader.so ~/lib/libuserd-devel.so
setenv <librarypath> ~/lib:$<librarypath>
The user is responsible for correctly configuring the library path
variable in order to make use of the libuserd-devel feature. The
library environment variables used are:
Machine type Environment variable to set
------------ ---------------------------
sgi LD_LIBRARY_PATH
dec LD_LIBRARY_PATH
sun LD_LIBRARY_PATH
linux LD_LIBRARY_PATH
alpha linux LD_LIBRARY_PATH
hp SHLIB_PATH
ibm LIBPATH
As always, EnSight support is available if you need it.

USERD_bkup
Description:
-----------
This routine is called during the EnSight archive process. You can
use it to save or restore info relating to your user defined reader.
Specification:
-------------
int USERD_bkup(FILE *archive_file,

Z_ERR if not successful
Arguments:
---------
(IN) archive_file = The archive file pointer
(IN) backup_type = Z_SAVE_ARCHIVE for saving archive
Z_REST_ARCHIVE for restoring archive
Notes:
-----
* Since EnSight's archive file is saved in binary form, you should
also do any writing to it or reading from it in binary.
* You should archive any variables, which will be needed for
future operations, that will not be read or computed again
before they will be needed. These are typically global
variables.
* Make sure that the number of bytes that you write on a save and
the number of bytes that you read on a restore are identical!!
* If any of the variables you save are allocated arrays, you must
do the allocations before restoring into them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
USERD_exit_routine
Description:
-----------
This routine is called as EnSight is exiting. It can be used to clean
up anything needed - such as removing temporary files, etc. - or can simply
be a dummy.

as indicated by the USERD_get_ghost_in_block_flag. The model must
of course also have been indicated to have some ghost cells in the
USERD_get_ghost_in_model_flag routine.
* It is sufficient to set the value to be 1 to flag as a ghost cell,
but the value can be any non-zero value, so you could use it to
indicate which block or which server (for Server-of-server use) the
cell is actually in.

* Prior to API 2.01:
-----------------
For unstructured parts, you can read them from your file if
available, or can assign them, etc. They need to be unique
per part, and are often unique per model.
API 1.0:
USERD_get_element_ids_for_part is used to obtain the ids,
on a part by part basis, if TRUE status is returned here.
API 2.0:
USERD_get_part_element_ids_by_type is used to obtain the ids,
on a per part, per type basis, if TRUE status is returned here.
For structured parts, EnSight will assign ids if you return a
status of TRUE here. You cannot assign them youself!!
* Starting at API 2.01:
--------------------
For both unstructured and structured parts, you can read them
from your file if available, or can assign them, etc. They need
to be unique per part, and are often unique per model (especially
if you are dealing with a decomposed dataset).
USERD_get_part_element_ids_by_type is used to obtain the ids,
on an element type by part basis, if TRUE status is returned here.
* Will call USERD_get_part_element_ids_by_type for each type of
of each part if this routine returns TRUE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Returns:
-------
Z_OK if successful
Z_ERR if not successful
Arguments:
---------
(OUT) part_id = Array containing the external part
ids for each of the model parts.
IMPORTANT:
Parts numbers must be >= 1, because
of the way they are used in the GUI
*******************************************
The ids provided here are the numbers by
which the parts will be referred to in the
GUI (if possible). They are basically
labels as far as you are concerned.
Note: The part numbers you pass to routines
which receive a part_number or block_number
or which_part as an argument are the 1-based
table index of the parts!
example: If Numparts_available = 3
Table index part_id
----------- -------
1 13
2 57
3 125
^ ^
| |
| These are placed in:
| part_id[0] = 13
| part_id[1] = 57
| part_id[2] = 125
| for GUI labeling purposes.
|
These implied table indices are the part_number,
block_number, or which_part numbers that you would
pass to routines like:
USERD_get_part_coords(int part_number,...
USERD_get_part_node_ids(int part_number,...

----------------------
(Array will have been allocated
Numparts_available by 3 long)

ijk_dimensions[][1] = J dimension
ijk_dimensions[][2] = K dimension
Starting at version 2.03:
------------------------
(Array will have been allocated
Numparts_available by 9 long)
There are two ways to do this:
------------------------------
1. The simple one, without ranges.
This is good for all structured models
that will NOT be used in EnSight's
Server of Servers
Simply provide the ijk dimensions in the
first three slots and place a -1 in
the 4th slot. (The remaining slots will
be ignored).
Thus,
ijk_dimensions[][0] = I dimension of block
ijk_dimensions[][1] = J dimension of block
ijk_dimensions[][2] = K dimension of block
ijk_dimensions[][3] = -1
(J planes)
4 *-------*-------*
| | | ijk_dimension[0][0] = 3
| | | ijk_dimension[0][1] = 4
| | | ijk_dimension[0][2] = 1
3 *-------*-------*
| | | ijk_dimension[0][4] = -1
| | |
| | |
2 *-------*-------*
| | |
| | |
| | |
1 *-------*-------*
1 2 3 (I planes)
2. Using ranges.
This one can be used anytime, but MUST
be used if EnSight's Server of Servers
is to be used!
The first 3 slots contain the ijk dimension
of the complete block (of which this may be
a portion). The last 6 slots contain the
ijk min and max ranges within the complete.
Thus,
ijk_dimensions[][0] = I dim of complete block
ijk_dimensions[][1] = J dim of complete block
ijk_dimensions[][2] = K dim of complete block
ijk_dimensions[][3] = Imin of portion (1-based)
ijk_dimensions[][4] = Imax of portion (1-based)
ijk_dimensions[][5] = Jmin of portion (1-based)
ijk_dimensions[][6] = Jmax of portion (1-based)
ijk_dimensions[][7] = Kmin of portion (1-based)
ijk_dimensions[][8] = Kmax of portion (1-based)

and want whole thing)

And note that if you were partioning this block for
EnSight's Server of Servers, you would only have one part,
instead of two. Each SOS server would return its appropriate
ranges in the last 6 slots. The first 3 slots would remain constant.
(OUT) iblanking_options = 2D array containing iblanking
options possible for each
structured model part.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
USERD_get_maxsize_info
Description:
-----------
Gets maximum part sizes for efficient memory allocation.
Transient models (especially those that increase in size) can cause
reallocations, at time step changes, to keep chewing up more and
more memory. The way to avoid this is to know what the maximum
size of such memory will be, and allocate for this maximum initially.
Accordingly, if you choose to provide this information (it is optional),
EnSight will take advantage of it.
Specification:
-------------
int USERD_get_maxsize_info(int *max_number_of_nodes,
int *max_number_of_elements[Z_MAXTYPE],
int *max_ijk_dimensions[3])
Returns:
-------
Z_OK if supplying maximum data
Z_ERR if not supplying maximum data, or some error occurred
while trying to obtain it.
Arguments:
---------
(OUT) max_number_of_nodes = Maximum number of unstructured nodes
in the part (over all time).
(Array will have been allocated
Numparts_available long)
(OUT) max_number_of_elements = 2D array containing maximum number of
each type of element for each
unstructured model part (over all time).

(Array will have been allocated
Numparts_available by 3 long)
max_ijk_dimensions[][0] = maximum I dimension
max_ijk_dimensions[][1] = maximum J dimension
max_ijk_dimensions[][2] = maximum K dimension
Notes:
-----
* You need to have first called USERD_get_number_of_model_parts and
USERD_get_gold_part_build_info, so Numparts_available is known and
so EnSight will know what the type is (Z_UNSTRUCTURED, Z_STRUCTURED,
or Z_IBLANKED) of each part.
* This will NOT be based on Current_time_step - it is to be the maximum
values over all time!!
* This information is optional. If you return Z_ERR, Ensight will still
process things fine, reallocating as needed, etc. However, for
large transient models you will likely use considerably more memory
and take more processing time for the memory reallocations. So, if it
is possible to provide this information "up front", it is recommended
to do so.

USERD_get_model_extents
Description:

USERD_get_node_label_status
Description:
-----------
Answers the question as to whether node labels will be provided.
Specification:
-------------
int USERD_get_node_label_status( void )
Returns:
-------
TRUE if node labels will be provided
FALSE if node labels will NOT be provided
Arguments:
---------
none
Notes:
-----
* Node ids are needed in order to do any node querying, or node
labeling on-screen within EnSight.
* Prior to API 2.01:
-----------------
For unstructured parts, you can read them from your file if
available, or can assign them, etc. They need to be unique
per part, and are often unique per model. They must also be
positive numbers greater than zero.
USERD_get_part_node_ids is used to obtain the ids, if the
status returned here is TRUE.
(Unlike API 1.0, where the connectivity of elements had to be
according to the node ids - API 2.0's element connectivities
are not affected either way by the status here.)
For structured parts, EnSight will assign ids if you return a
status of TRUE here. You cannot assign them yourself!!
* Starting at API 2.01:
--------------------
For both unstructured and structured parts, you can read them
from your file if available, or can assign them, etc. They need
to be unique per part, and are often unique per model. They must
also be positive numbers greater than zero.
USERD_get_part_node_ids is used to obtain the ids, if the
status returned here is TRUE.
* Will call USERD_get_part_node_ids for each part if this routine
returns TRUE.

Returns:
-------
The total number of files in the dataset.
Arguments:
---------
none
Notes:
-----
* You can be as complete as you want about this. If you don't
care about the dataset query option, return a value of 0
If you only want certain files, you can just include them. But,
you will need to supply the info in USERD_get_dataset_query_file_info
for each file you include here.

int USERD_get_number_of_material_sets( void )
Returns:
-------
Num_material_sets = number of material sets
(Zero would indicate that you have no materials
to deal with in the model)
or
-1 if an error condition
Arguments:
---------
none
Notes:
-----
* You may want to keep this as a global for use in other routines.
###############################################################
NOTE: For EnSight 7.6, only one material set is supported
within EnSight.
Thus the only valid returns here are:
0 (no materials)
1 (for the one material set allowed)
or -1 (if an error)
If the casefile has more than this, this reader will
read them, but EnSight will issue an error message and
choke on them!
###############################################################
================================================================
A very simple explanatory example, to use as a reference for the
materials routines:
Given a 2D mesh composed of 9 quad (Z_QUA04) elements, with two materials.
Most of the model is material 1, but the top left corner is material 9 -
basically as shown:
*--------*--------*--------*
| | / | |
| Mat 9 / | |
| | / | |
| |/ | |
| e7 / e8 | e9 |
| /| | |
| / | | |
| / | | |
*----/---*--------*--------*
| / | | |
| / | | |
| / | Mat 1 |
|/ | | |
| e4 | e5 | e6 |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
*--------*--------*--------*
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| e1 | e2 | e3 |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
*--------*--------*--------*
Thus, in this routine, set:
Num_material_sets = 1
In USERD_get_matf_set_info, set:
mat_set_ids[0] = 1
mat_set_name[0] = "Material Set 1" (or whatever name desired)
In USERD_get_number_of_materials, input would be set_index = 0, and
would need to set:
Num_materials[0] = 2
For simplicity, the ids and descriptions that would be returned in
USERD_get_matf_var_info could be:
mat_ids[0] = 1
mat_ids[1] = 9
mat_desc[0] = "mat 1" (or whatever desired)
mat_desc[2] = "mat 9"
The per element material ids list would need to be:
material ids:
-------------
ids_list[0] = 1 (material id 1, for elem e1)
ids_list[1] = 1 ( " e2)
ids_list[2] = 1 ( " e3)
ids_list[3] = -1 (negative of index into mixed-material id list, for elem e4)
ids_list[5] = 1 (material id 1, for elem e5)
ids_list[5] = 1 ( " e6)
ids_list[5] = -5 (negative of index into mixed-material id list, for elem e7)
ids_list[5] = -9 ( " e8)
ids_list[5] = 1 (material id 1, for elem e9)
Finally we need the mixed material ids list and the mixed materials values list,
which would need to be:
mixed-material ids:
-------------------
==> 1 ids_list[0] = 2 (the -1 in the material variable points here,
2 indicates that two materials are present)
2 ids_list[1] = 1 (1st material is 1)
3 ids_list[2] = 9 (2nd material is 9)
4 ids_list[3] = -1 (negative of index into mixed-material val_list)
==> 5 ids_list[4] = 2 (the -5 in the material variable points here,
2 indicates that two materials are present)
6 ids_list[5] = 1 (1st material is 1)
7 ids_list[6] = 9 (2nd material is 9)
8 ids_list[7] = -3 (negative of index into mixed-material val_list)
==> 9 ids_list[8] = 2 etc.
10 ids_list[9] = 1
11 ids_list[10] = 9
12 ids_list[11] = -5
mixed-material values:
----------------------
==> 1 val_list[0] = 0.875 (the -1 in the mixed-material ids_list points here,
and this is the value for material 1)
2 val_list[1] = 0.125 (the value for material 9)
==> 3 val_list[2] = 0.125 (the -3 in the mixed-materials ids_list points here)
4 val_list[3] = 0.875
==> 5 val_list[4] = 0.875 (the -5 in the mixed-materials ids_list points here)
6 val_list[5] = 0.125
So, USERD_size_matf_data would need to return
matf_size = 8, when called with set_id = 1
part_id = 1
wtyp = Z_QUA04
mat_type = Z_MAT_INDEX
matf_size = 12, when called with set_id = 1
part_id = 1
mat_type = Z_MIX_INDEX
= 6, when called with set_id = 1
part_id = 1
mat_type = Z_MIX_VALUE
And, USERD_load_matf_data would need to return:
the int array ids_list as shown above when called with:
set_id = 1
part_id = 1
wtyp = Z_QUA04
mat_type = Z_MAT_INDEX (indicating id list).
the int array ids_list as shown above when called with:
set_id = 1
part_id = 1
mat_type = Z_MIX_INDEX (indicating id list).
the float array val_list as shown above when called with:
set_id = 1
part_id = 1
mat_type = Z_MIX_VALUE (indicating val list).

USERD_get_number_of_materials
Description:
-----------
Gets the number of materials in the material set
Specification:
-------------
int USERD_get_number_of_materials( int set_index )
Returns:
-------
Num_materials[set_index] = Number of materials in the set
0 indicates no materials information present
-1 indicates an error
Arguments:
---------
(IN) set_index = the material set index (zero based)
Notes:
-----
* See USERD_get_number_of_material_sets header for explanatory example
* Will not be called if Num_material_sets is zero
* You may want to keep this as a global for use in other routines.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
USERD_get_number_of_model_parts
Description:
-----------
Gets the total number of unstructured and structured parts
in the model, for which you can supply information.
Specification:
-------------
int USERD_get_number_of_model_parts( void )
Returns:
-------
Number of parts (>0 if okay, <=0 if problems).
Arguments:
---------
none
Notes:
-----
* If going to have to read down through the parts in order to
know how many, you may want to build a table of pointers to
the various parts, so you can easily get to particular parts in
later processes. If you can simply read the number of parts
at the head of the file, then you would probably not build the
table at this time.
* This routine would set Numparts_available, which is equal to
Num_unstructured_parts + Num_structured_blocks.

* If you have a static model, both geometry and variables, you should
return a value of zero.
* If you have a transient model, then you should return one or more.
For example:
Geometry Variables No. of timesets
--------- ------------------------------ ---------------
static static 0
static transient, all using same timeset 1
transient transient, all using same timeset as geom 1
static transient, using 3 different timesets 3
transient transient, using 3 different timesets and
none of them the same as the
geometry timeset 4
etc.
NOTE: ALL GEOMETRY MUST USE THE SAME TIMESET!!! You will have to provide
the timeset number to use
for geometry in:
USERD_get_geom_timeset_number
Variables can use the same timeset as the geometry, or can use
other timesets. More than one variable can use the same timeset.
example: changing geometry at 5 steps, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0
variable 1 provided at these same five steps
variable 2 provided at 3 steps, 0.5, 1.25, 3.33
This routine should return a value of 2, because only
two different timesets are needed. Timeset 1 would be for the
geometry and variable 1 (they both use it). Timeset 2 would
be for variable 2, which needs its own in this case.
