4 EnSight User Defined Reader Capability ===> (API 2.06)
5 --------------------------------------
6 A user defined reader capability is included in EnSight which can allow
7 otherwise unsupported structured or unstructured data to be read. The user
8 defined reader capability utilizes dynamic shared libraries composed of
9 routines defined in this document but produced by you, the user, (or some
10 third party). This capability is currently available for dec, ibm, hp, sgi,
11 sun, linux, alpha linux, and NT servers.
13 You should refer to beginning of README_USERD_2.0 and/or README_1.0_to_2.0
14 for a discussion of the differences between API 1.0 and API 2.*.
16 ***>> API 2.06 additional capabilities (beyond API 2.05):
17 Routines to allow userd defined readers for structured data
18 to deal with min, max, and stride within the reader itself
19 instead of within EnSight.
20 USERD_get_structured_reader_cinching
21 USERD_set_block_range_and_stride
24 ***>> API 2.05 additional capabilities (beyond API 2.04):
25 Routines to handle material species.
26 USERD_get_number_of_species
29 Routines to handle variable extraction parameters after a read, and then
30 update the variables accordingly. Similar to the extra GUI capabilities
31 (which are processed before a read). (Can actually be added to pre-2.05 readers)
32 USERD_get_var_extract_gui_numbers
33 USERD_get_var_extract_gui_defaults
34 USERD_set_var_extract_gui_data
36 Routines to obtain rigid body values from a reader.
37 (Routines were added - EnSight is now using for Nastran and STL readers
38 with Dynasty rigid body motion data file)
39 USERD_rigidbody_existence
40 USERD_rigidbody_values
42 Routine that lets reader know when EnSight is getting the right side of a time
43 interval for variable interpolation between steps. Not generally needed for
44 most readers - however, may be needed for those that implement rigid body, and
45 wish to cache left and right timespan information for interpolation within the
46 reader itself. (Can actually be added to pre-2.05 readers)
50 ***>> API 2.04 additional capabilities (beyond API 2.03):
51 Routines to handle failed elements. Basically
52 a.One routine to return a flag indicating the existence of
53 failed elements in at least one part in at least one
54 timestep in the model.
55 b.A second routine to return a matrix of flags indexed by part and
56 element type indicating which parts and element types have failed
57 elements at the current time step.
58 c.Finally a third routine to return an array of flags for a given
59 part and element type that is number of elements of that type long
60 indicating which elements have failed, and which have not failed.
63 ***>> API 2.03 additional capabilities (beyond API 2.01):
64 1. Routines to handle materials
65 2. Routines to handle nsided and nfaced elements
66 3. Modified routine to handle structured ranges
69 ****************************************************************************
70 Note: Only the the Ensight Gold example reader, has been moved to
71 this 2.06 API level. And it is purely for an example - it does not
72 actually provide a benefit.
73 ****************************************************************************
76 The process for producing a user defined reader is:
77 ---------------------------------------------------
78 1. Write code for all pertinent routines in the library (Unless someone else
79 has done this for you).
81 This is of course where the work is done by the user. The word
82 "pertinent" is used because depending on the nature of the data, some
83 of the routines in the library may be dummy routines.
85 The source code for a dummy_gold library and for various other
86 working or sample libraries is copied from the installation CD during
87 installation. These will be located in directories under:
89 $CEI_HOME/ensight76/user_defined_src/readers
93 Basic dummy_gold routines provide skeleton for a new reader
94 $CEI_HOME/ensight76/user_defined_src/readers/dummy_gold
96 Sample library which reads unstructured binary EnSight Gold data
97 $CEI_HOME/ensight76/user_defined_src/readers/ensight_gold
99 You may find it useful to place your library source in this area as
100 well, but are not limited to this location.
102 * ===> The descriptions of each library routine and the order that the
103 routines are called, which is provided in this file, along with
104 the example libraries, should make it possible for you to produce
105 code for your own data reader.
108 2. Produce the dynamic shared library.
110 This is a compiling and loading process which varies according to
111 the type of machine you are on. In the user-defined-reader source
112 tree we have tried to isolate the machine dependent parts of the
113 build process using a set of files in the 'config' directory. In this
114 directory there is a configuration file for each platform on which
115 EnSight is supported. Before you can compile the installed readers
116 you should run the script called 'init' in the config directory.
124 If you are compiling for Windows NT, there are two options. If you
125 have the Cygwin GNU utilities installed, you can use GNU make as for
126 Unix. Otherwise, there is a script called makeall.cmd which will
127 build all of the readers using nmake. The Makefiles in each reader
128 directory will work using either make or nmake.
130 i.e. (WIN32 Cygwin) (using nmake)
132 sh init win32 cp win32 config
137 If you have platform-specific portions of code in your reader, the
138 build system defines a set of flags which can be used within
139 #ifdef ... #endif regions in your source, as shown in the table
142 Because the readers are now dynamically opened by EnSight, you may
143 have to include dependent libraries on your link-line to avoid having
144 unresolved symbols. If you are having problems with a reader, start
145 ensight as "ensight7 -readerdbg" and you will get feedback on any
146 problems encountered in loading a reader. If there are unresolved
147 symbols, you need to find the library which contains the missing
148 symbols and link it into your reader by adding it to the example
151 If you choose to use a different build environment for your reader,
152 you should take care to use compatible compilation flags to ensure
153 compatibilty with the EnSight executables, most notably on the SGI
154 and HP-UX 11.0 platforms, which should use the following flags:
157 sgi_6.2_n64: -mips4 -64
159 sgi_6.5_n64: -mips4 -64

204 Once you have created your library, you should place it in a directory
205 of your choice or in the standard reader location:
207 $CEI_HOME/ensight76/machines/$CEI_ARCH/lib_readers
209 For example, if you created a reader for "mydata", you should create
210 the reader libuserd-mydata.so and place the file in your own reader
211 directory (see section 3 below) or in the standard location:
213 $CEI_HOME/ensight76/machines/$CEI_ARCH/lib_readers/libuserd-mydata.so
216 3. By default EnSight will load all readers found in the directory:
218 $CEI_HOME/ensight76/machines/$CEI_ARCH/lib_readers
220 Files with names "libuserd-X.so" (where X is a name unique to the reader)
221 are assumed to be user-defined readers.
223 There are two methods which can be used to supplement the default
226 (1) A feature which is useful for site-level or user-level configuration
227 is the optional environment variable $ENSIGHT7_READER. This
228 variable directs EnSight to load all readers in the specified reader
229 directory (you should probably specify a full path) before loading
230 the built-in readers. If the same reader exists in both directories
231 (as determined by the name returned by USERD_get_name_of_reader(),
232 NOT by the filename), the locally configured reader will take
235 (2) A useful feature for end-users is the use of the libuserd-devel
236 reader. EnSight will search for a reader named libuserd-devel.so
237 (.sl for HP or .dll for NT). This reader can exist anywhere in the
238 library path (see below) of the user. This is useful for an
239 individual actively developing a reader because the existence of a
240 libuserd-devel library will take precedence over any other library
241 which returns the same name from USERD_get_name_of_reader().
243 As an example, a site may install commonly used readers in a common
244 location, and users can set the ENSIGHT7_READER variable to access them:
246 setenv ENSIGHT7_READER /usr/local/lib/e7readers
248 A user working on a new reader may compile the reader and place it in
249 a directory specified by the library path:
251 cp libuserd-myreader.so ~/lib/libuserd-devel.so
252 setenv <librarypath> ~/lib:$<librarypath>
254 The user is responsible for correctly configuring the library path
255 variable in order to make use of the libuserd-devel feature. The
256 library environment variables used are:
258 Machine type Environment variable to set
259 ------------ ---------------------------
263 linux LD_LIBRARY_PATH
264 alpha linux LD_LIBRARY_PATH
268 As always, EnSight support is available if you need it.

2352 available, or can assign them, etc. They need to be unique
2353 per part, and are often unique per model. They must also be
2354 positive numbers greater than zero.
2356 USERD_get_part_node_ids is used to obtain the ids, if the
2357 status returned here is TRUE.
2359 (Unlike API 1.0, where the connectivity of elements had to be
2360 according to the node ids - API 2.0's element connectivities
2361 are not affected either way by the status here.)
2363 For structured parts, EnSight will assign ids if you return a
2364 status of TRUE here. You cannot assign them yourself!!
2366 * Starting at API 2.01:
2367 --------------------
2368 For both unstructured and structured parts, you can read them
2369 from your file if available, or can assign them, etc. They need
2370 to be unique per part, and are often unique per model. They must
2371 also be positive numbers greater than zero.
2373 USERD_get_part_node_ids is used to obtain the ids, if the

2536 care about the dataset query option, return a value of 0
2537 If you only want certain files, you can just include them. But,

2574 ###############################################################
2575 NOTE: For EnSight 7.6, only one material set is supported
2577 Thus the only valid returns here are:
2579 1 (for the one material set allowed)
2582 If the casefile has more than this, this reader will
2583 read them, but EnSight will issue an error message and
2585 ###############################################################
2587 ================================================================
2588 A very simple explanatory example, to use as a reference for the
2591 Given a 2D mesh composed of 9 quad (Z_QUA04) elements, with two materials.
2592 Most of the model is material 1, but the top left corner is material 9 -
2596 *--------*--------*--------*
2605 *----/---*--------*--------*
2614 *--------*--------*--------*
2623 *--------*--------*--------*
2626 Thus, in this routine, set:
2627 Num_material_sets = 1
2629 In USERD_get_matf_set_info, set:
2631 mat_set_name[0] = "Material Set 1" (or whatever name desired)
2633 In USERD_get_number_of_materials, input would be set_index = 0, and
2635 Num_materials[0] = 2
2637 For simplicity, the ids and descriptions that would be returned in
2638 USERD_get_matf_var_info could be:
2641 mat_desc[0] = "mat 1" (or whatever desired)
2642 mat_desc[2] = "mat 9"
2644 The per element material ids list would need to be:
2648 ids_list[0] = 1 (material id 1, for elem e1)
2649 ids_list[1] = 1 ( " e2)
2650 ids_list[2] = 1 ( " e3)
2651 ids_list[3] = -1 (negative of index into mixed-material id list, for elem e4)
2652 ids_list[5] = 1 (material id 1, for elem e5)
2653 ids_list[5] = 1 ( " e6)
2654 ids_list[5] = -5 (negative of index into mixed-material id list, for elem e7)
2655 ids_list[5] = -9 ( " e8)
2656 ids_list[5] = 1 (material id 1, for elem e9)
2658 Finally we need the mixed material ids list and the mixed materials values list,
2659 which would need to be:
2663 ==> 1 ids_list[0] = 2 (the -1 in the material variable points here,
2664 2 indicates that two materials are present)
2665 2 ids_list[1] = 1 (1st material is 1)
2666 3 ids_list[2] = 9 (2nd material is 9)
2667 4 ids_list[3] = -1 (negative of index into mixed-material val_list)
2668 ==> 5 ids_list[4] = 2 (the -5 in the material variable points here,
2669 2 indicates that two materials are present)
2670 6 ids_list[5] = 1 (1st material is 1)
2671 7 ids_list[6] = 9 (2nd material is 9)
2672 8 ids_list[7] = -3 (negative of index into mixed-material val_list)
2673 ==> 9 ids_list[8] = 2 etc.
2676 12 ids_list[11] = -5
2678 mixed-material values:
2679 ----------------------
2680 ==> 1 val_list[0] = 0.875 (the -1 in the mixed-material ids_list points here,
2681 and this is the value for material 1)
2682 2 val_list[1] = 0.125 (the value for material 9)
2683 ==> 3 val_list[2] = 0.125 (the -3 in the mixed-materials ids_list points here)
2684 4 val_list[3] = 0.875
2685 ==> 5 val_list[4] = 0.875 (the -5 in the mixed-materials ids_list points here)
2686 6 val_list[5] = 0.125
2688 So, USERD_size_matf_data would need to return
2689 matf_size = 8, when called with set_id = 1
2692 mat_type = Z_MAT_INDEX
2694 matf_size = 12, when called with set_id = 1
2696 mat_type = Z_MIX_INDEX
2698 = 6, when called with set_id = 1
2700 mat_type = Z_MIX_VALUE
2702 And, USERD_load_matf_data would need to return:
2703 the int array ids_list as shown above when called with:
2707 mat_type = Z_MAT_INDEX (indicating id list).
2709 the int array ids_list as shown above when called with:
2712 mat_type = Z_MIX_INDEX (indicating id list).
2714 the float array val_list as shown above when called with:
2717 mat_type = Z_MIX_VALUE (indicating val list).
2720 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
2721 USERD_get_number_of_materials
2725 Gets the number of materials in the material set
2729 int USERD_get_number_of_materials( int set_index )
2733 Num_materials[set_index] = Number of materials in the set
2734 0 indicates no materials information present
2735 -1 indicates an error
2738 (IN) set_index = the material set index (zero based)
2742 * See USERD_get_number_of_material_sets header for explanatory example
2743 * Will not be called if Num_material_sets is zero
2744 * You may want to keep this as a global for use in other routines.

2749 USERD_get_number_of_model_parts
2753 Gets the total number of unstructured and structured parts
2754 in the model, for which you can supply information.
2758 int USERD_get_number_of_model_parts( void )
2762 Number of parts (>0 if okay, <=0 if problems).
2770 * If going to have to read down through the parts in order to
2771 know how many, you may want to build a table of pointers to
2772 the various parts, so you can easily get to particular parts in
2773 later processes. If you can simply read the number of parts
2774 at the head of the file, then you would probably not build the
2777 * This routine would set Numparts_available, which is equal to
2778 Num_unstructured_parts + Num_structured_blocks.
2782 --------------------------------------------------------------------
2783 USERD_get_number_of_timesets
2787 Gets the number of timesets used in the model.
2791 int USERD_get_number_of_timesets( void )
2795 Number of timesets in the model
2803 * Num_timesets would be set here
2805 * If you have a static model, both geometry and variables, you should
2806 return a value of zero.
2808 * If you have a transient model, then you should return one or more.
2812 Geometry Variables No. of timesets
2813 --------- ------------------------------ ---------------
2815 static transient, all using same timeset 1
2817 transient transient, all using same timeset as geom 1
2819 static transient, using 3 different timesets 3
2821 transient transient, using 3 different timesets and
2822 none of them the same as the
2826 NOTE: ALL GEOMETRY MUST USE THE SAME TIMESET!!! You will have to provide
2827 the timeset number to use
2829 USERD_get_geom_timeset_number
2831 Variables can use the same timeset as the geometry, or can use
2832 other timesets. More than one variable can use the same timeset.
2834 example: changing geometry at 5 steps, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0
2835 variable 1 provided at these same five steps
2836 variable 2 provided at 3 steps, 0.5, 1.25, 3.33
2838 This routine should return a value of 2, because only
2839 two different timesets are needed. Timeset 1 would be for the
2840 geometry and variable 1 (they both use it). Timeset 2 would
2841 be for variable 2, which needs its own in this case.

2848 USERD_get_number_of_variables
2852 Get the number of variables for which you will be providing info.
2856 int USERD_get_number_of_variables( void )

4072 USERD_get_extra_gui_numbers
4073 USERD_get_extra_gui_defaults
4074 USERD_set_extra_gui_data
4076 The existence of these routine indicates that
4077 you wish to add customize entries to the
4080 If you don't want the extra GUI features,
4081 simply delete these routines, or change their
4082 names to something such as
4083 USERD_DISABLED_get_extra_gui_defaults
4085 The presence of these routines
4086 will ensure that EnSight will call them and
4087 use their data to modify the extraction parameters set
4088 with some or all of the following:
4089 toggles, pulldown menu and fields.
4091 The user can then interact with the enhanced
4092 GUI and then send their choices to
4093 USERD_set_extra_gui_data
4095 Therefore if USERD_get_extra_gui_numbers
4096 exists then the other two must exist.
4098 If none exist, then the GUI will be unchanged.
4100 Toggle data will return an integer
4104 Pulldown menu will return an integer representing
4105 the menu item selected
4107 Field will return a string Z_LEN_GUI_FIELD_STR long.
4109 If all the enhanced GUI features are enabled it

4252 USERD_get_var_extract_gui_numbers
4256 The Var_Extract_GUI routines are added to allow
4257 the user to customize a extraction parameters
4258 for variables "after" the file has been read.
4259 These things can be modified and the variables will
4260 be update/refreshed according to the new parameters set
4264 void USERD_get_var_extract_gui_numbers(int *num_Toggles,
4274 (OUT) num_Toggles = number of toggles that will be provided
4276 num_pulldowns = number of pulldowns that will be provided
4278 num_fields = number of fields that will be provided
4282 There are three routines that work together:
4283 USERD_get_var_extract_gui_numbers
4284 USERD_get_var_extract_gui_defaults (this one)
4285 USERD_set_var_extract_gui_data
4287 The existence of these routine indicates that
4288 you wish to have the Var Extract Parameters dialog.
4290 If you don't want the extra GUI features,
4291 simply delete these routines, or change their
4292 names to something such as
4293 USERD_DISABLED_get_var_extract_gui_defaults
4295 The presence of these routines
4296 will ensure that EnSight will call them and
4297 use their data to modify the extraction parameters set
4298 with some or all of the following:
4299 toggles, pulldown menu and fields.
4301 The user can then interact with the enhanced
4302 GUI and then send their choices to
4303 USERD_set_extra_gui_data
4305 Therefore if USERD_get_var_extract_gui_numbers
4306 exists then the other two must exist.
4308 If none exist, then the GUI will be unchanged.
4310 Toggle data will return an integer
4314 Pulldown menu will return an integer representing
4315 the menu item selected
4317 Field will return a string Z_LEN_GUI_FIELD_STR long.
4319 If all the enhanced GUI features are enabled it
4320 might look something like this
