dummyUpdater

dummyUpdater

Works with VSimBase, VSimEM, VSimPD, VSimPA, and VSimMD licenses.

MultiField updater that does not update values. Use of dummyUpdater may be helpful if you require specific timing and messaging of fields. In the update step, you can specify a toDtFrac such that during that update step, nothing is done to the field except for modifying its time.

dummyUpdater Parameters

The dummyUpdater kind requires the lowerBounds and upperBounds parameters of FieldUpdater, though they are ignored. It also takes the following parameter:

writeFields (optional string vector, default = []): A vector containing the names of any number of fields. The updater will modify the times of these fields.

Example dummyUpdater Block

<FieldUpdater dummy>
  kind = dummyUpdater
  lowerBounds = [ 0   0   0]
  upperBounds = [NX  NY  NZ]
  writeFields = [activeEnvFld]
</FieldUpdater>
