IOEvent

IOEvent: base time/timestep control determing when in time to do something.

The IOEvent is used for multiple objects that need to indicate simulation times or cycles on which to do something.

io-event-spec

• “cycles start period stop” [Array(int)] optional The first entry is the start cycle, the second is the cycle period, and the third is the stop cycle or -1, in which case there is no stop cycle. A visualization dump is written at such cycles that satisfy cycle = start + n*period, for n=0,1,2,… and cycle < stop if stop != -1.0.

• “cycles start period stop 0” [Array(int)] optional If multiple cycles start period stop parameters are needed, then use these parameters. If one with 0 is found, then one with 1 is looked for, etc, until the Nth one is not found.

• “cycles” [Array(int)] optional An array of discrete cycles that at which a visualization dump is written.

• “times start period stop” [Array(double)] optional The first entry is the start time, the second is the time period, and the third is the stop time or -1, in which case there is no stop time. A visualization dump is written at such times that satisfy time = start + n*period, for n=0,1,2,… and time < stop if stop != -1.0.

• “times start period stop units” [string] s Units corresponding to this spec. One of “s”, “min”, “h”, “d”, “yr”, or “noleap”

• “times start period stop 0” [Array(double)] optional If multiple start period stop parameters are needed, then use this these parameters with N=0,1,2. If one with 0 is found, then one with 1 is looked for, etc, until the Nth one is not found.

• “times start period stop 0 units” [string] s Units corresponding to this spec. One of “s”, “min”, “h”, “d”, “yr”, or “noleap” See above for continued integer listings.

• “times” [Array(double)] optional An array of discrete times that at which a visualization dump shall be written.

• “times units” [string] s Units corresponding to this spec. One of “s”, “d”, “yr”, or “yr 365”
