FieldFromFile

Definition of parameters for reading fields from external files.

Field data can be read from .hdf5 files that were generated in previous simulations using checkpoint_data in Output.

Fields

field_file_name: String, default = ""

Name of the external .hdf5 data file. (required)
field_data: Vector of FieldData, default = []

Options for reading field data input. (required). Currently supported for primary fields only.
time: Float, default = -1.0

Time at which to extract the field data from the field file.
- time = -1 means read the whole time stack in the field file. (Useful only for primary fields.)
- time >= 0 means extract the snapshot from the time in the file closest to, but not less than, the given time. If time > max file time, the last snapshot in the file is used.
