EnSight User Defined Reader Capability ===> (API 1.0)
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Two versions of this API are available starting with EnSight Version 7.2. The
|
|
1.0 API (which was designed to be friendly to those producing it, but requires
|
|
more manipulation internally by EnSight) may be a little easier to
|
|
produce, but requires more memory and processing time. The 2.0 API is
|
|
considerably more efficient, and was designed more with that in mind. It
|
|
requires that all data be provided on a part basis.
|
|
|
|
If you already have a working 1.0 API reader and are happy with it - there is
|
|
probably no reason to modify it to the 2.0 API unless:
|
|
- you deal with large models and the memory use and load times are a
|
|
problem or
|
|
- you need tensor variable support or
|
|
- you need complex variable support or
|
|
- you need multiple timeset capability or
|
|
_ you want to provide your own "border" elements (as opposed to EnSight's
|
|
computation of them).
|
|
|
|
If you are producing a new reader, you should consider which will work best
|
|
for your needs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
API 1.0 (defined in this README_USERD_1.0 document)
|
|
=======
|
|
The original user defined reader API (used with EnSight Versions 6 through
|
|
7.1) will continue to be supported. (Note that there was a change in the way
|
|
that the libraries were made at version 7.1 of EnSight, but underlying code
|
|
was kept the same.) Thus, any readers that work with EnSight 7.1, should still
|
|
function with EnSight 7.2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
API 2.0 (defined in README_USERD_2.0 document)
|
|
=======
|
|
This new API has been defined to be more efficient and includes access to new
|
|
capabilities of EnSight 7.2. It lends itself closely to the EnSight "gold"
|
|
type format.
|
|
|
|
Some of its advantages are::
|
|
|
|
* Most intermediate temporary arrays have been eliminated, such that the user
|
|
defined routines write directly into internal part structures. This is a
|
|
considerable improvement in memory use, and improves speed as well since
|
|
far less memory need be allocated, initialized, etc.
|
|
|
|
* Parts are self contained. Coordinates, connectivity and all variables are
|
|
provided on a part basis. This eliminates the need for several global to
|
|
local coordinate mapping operations and the need for node id connectivity
|
|
hashing. This can greatly improve the speed at which models are loaded.
|
|
|
|
* Model extents can be provided directly, such that EnSight need not read
|
|
all the coordinate data at load time.
|
|
|
|
* Tensor variables are supported
|
|
|
|
* Complex variables are supported
|
|
|
|
* A routine is provided as EnSight exits, so cleanup operations such as
|
|
removing temporary files can be easily accomplished.
|
|
|
|
* Geometry and variables can be provided on different time lines.
|
|
|
|
* If your data format already provides boundary shell information, you can
|
|
use it instead of the "border" representation that EnSight would compute.
|
|
|
|
Further discussion on the philosophical differences between the two API's and
|
|
an efficiency comparison example can be found in the README_1.0_to_2.0 file.
|
|
This file also contains guidance on necessary changes to modify an existing
|
|
1.0 API to the new 2.0 API.
|

|
****************************************************************************
|
|
Note: Several (1.0 API) user defined readers have been included with your
|
|
EnSight release and are configured by default. There are site- and
|
|
user-configurable options outlined in step 3 below. Please be aware
|
|
that these are "unsupported" readers, but many of them are being used
|
|
successfully.
|
|
****************************************************************************
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 library and for various other working or
|
|
sample libraries is copied from the installation CD during
|
|
installation. These will be located in directories under:
|
|
|
|
$ENSIGHT7_HOME/user_defined_src/readers
|
|
|
|
examples of API 1.0:

|
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:
|
|
|
|
$ENSIGHT7_HOME/machines/$ENSIGHT7_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:
|
|
|
|
$ENSIGHT7_HOME/machines/$ENSIGHT7_ARCH/lib_readers/libuserd-mydata.so
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. By default EnSight will load all readers found in the directory:
|
|
|
|
$ENSIGHT7_HOME/machines/$ENSIGHT7_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
|
|

|
|
linux LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|
alpha linux LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|
hp SHLIB_PATH
|
|
ibm LIBPATH
|
|
|
|
As always, EnSight support is available if you need it.

Detailed Specifications
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Include files:
|
|
--------------
|
|
The following header file is required in any file containing these library
|
|
routines.
|
|
|
|
#include "global_extern.h"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Basis of arrays:
|
|
---------------
|
|
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all arrays are zero based - in true C
|
|
fashion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Global variables:
|
|
----------------
|
|
You will generally need to have a few global variables which are shared by
|
|
the various library routines. The detailed specifications below have assumed
|
|
the following are available. (Their names describe their purpose, and they
|
|
will be used in helping describe the details of the routines below).
|
|
|
|
static int Numparts_available = 0;

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,
|
|
int backup_type)
|
|
|
|
Returns:
|
|
-------
|
|
Z_OK if successful
|
|
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.

|
|
* Node ids are needed in order to do any node querying, or node
|
|
labeling on-screen within EnSight.
|
|
|
|
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. The must also be
|
|
positive numbers greater than zero.
|
|
|
|
USERD_get_global_node_ids is used to obtain the ids, if the
|
|
status returned here is TRUE.
|
|
|
|
Also be aware that if you say node labels are available,
|
|
the connectivity of elements must be according to these
|
|
node ids.
|
|
|
|
For structured parts, EnSight will assign ids if you return a
|
|
status of TRUE here. You cannot assign them yourself!!

|
node array.
|
|
IMPORTANT:
|
|
---------
|
|
If you provide node ids, then element connectivities
|
|
must be in terms of the node ids. If you do not
|
|
provide node ids, then element connectivities must be
|
|
in terms of the index into the node array, but shifted

|
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.

Notes:

-----
|
|
* This routine is used in node querys over time (or element querys over

|
time for Z_PER_ELEM variables). If these operations are not critical

to you, this can be a dummy routine.
|
|
|
|
* The per_node or per_elem classification must be obtainable from the
|
|
variable number (a var_classify array needs to be retained)

USERD_set_filenames
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
-----------
|
|
Receives the geometry and result filenames entered in the data
|
|
dialog. The user written code will have to store and use these
|
|
as needed.
|
|
|
|
Specification:
|
|
-------------
|
|
int USERD_set_filenames(char filename_1[],
|
|
char filename_2[],
|
|
char the_path[],
|
|
int swapbytes)
|
|
|
|
Returns:
|
|
-------
|
|
Z_OK if successful
|
|
Z_ERR if not successful
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
---------
|
|
(IN) filename_1 = the filename entered into the geometry
|
|
field of the data dialog.
|
|
(IN) filename_2 = the filename entered into the result
|
|
field of the data dialog.
|
|
(If the two_fields flag in USERD_get_name_of_reader
|
|
is FALSE, this will be null string)
|
|
(IN) the_path = the path info from the data dialog.
|
|
Note: filename_1 and filename_2 have already
|
|
had the path prepended to them. This
|
|
is provided in case it is needed for
|
|
filenames contained in one of the files
|
|
(IN) swapbytes = TRUE if should swap bytes when reading data.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
-----
|
|
* Since you must manage everything from the input that is entered in
|
|
these data dialog fields, this is an important routine!
|
|
|
|
* It may be that you will need to have an executive type file that contains
|
|
info and other filenames within it, like EnSight6's case file.

|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
-----------
|
|
Set the current time step. All functions that need time, and
|
|
that do not explicitly pass it in, will use the time step set by
|
|
this routine.
