cape.pyover.options.archiveopts: OVERFLOW archiving options

This module provides OVERFLOW-specific modifications to the base archiving options module.

Default behavior for OVERFLOW case archiving, which is defined in this module, is to copy several of the large files (such as mesh, solution, etc.) and create several tar bombs. The default tar balls that are created within an archive folder are specified in two separate commands. For each dictionary, the name of the key is the name of the tar file, and the list on the right-hand side is a list of file globs that go into the tar file. These are set or modified in the ArchivePostTarGroups setting.

# Plot3D files
Plot3DDict = [
    {"brkset.[0-9]*": 1},
    {"q.[0-9]*":      1},
    {"x.[0-9]*":      1},
]
# Run output files
RunDict = [
    {"run": "run.[0-9frtls][0-9oeup]*"},
    {"out": "*.out"},
    {"SurfBC": "SurfBC*.dat"},
    {"pyover": [
        "pyover*",
        "case.json",
        "conditions.json"
    ]},
    {"meshinfo": [
        "Config.xml",
        "grdwghts.save",
        "mixsur.save",
        "walldist.save"
    ]}
]

Grid, solution, and post-processing files that are directly copied to the archive (without being added to a tar file) are set using the following code. This affects the ArchiveFiles setting. The bewildering file glob for q, x, and brkset files are trying to capture both x.restart and x.save with one glob.

# Flow files
CopyFiles = [
    "INTOUT",
    "XINTOUT",
    "q.avg",
    "q.srf",
    "x.srf",
    {"q.[sr0-9][ae0-9][vs0-9][et0-9]*": 1},
    {"x.[sr0-9][ae0-9][vs0-9][et0-9]*": 1},
    {"brkset.[sr0-9][ae0-9][vs0-9][et0-9]*": 1}
]

Further files to be deleted upon use of the --skeleton command are defined using the following code. This is the SkeletonFiles and TailFiles settings. Note that SkeletonFiles are defined in reverse order; the user specifies the files to keep, not delete.

# Skeleton
SkeletonFiles = [
    "case.json",
    "conditions.json",
    "archive.log",
    "run.[0-9]*.inp",
    "run.[0-9]*.[0-9]*",
    "lineload/grid.i.triq",
]
# Tail files
TailFiles = [
    {"run.resid": [1, "run.tail.resid"]},
]

The TailFiles settings causes pyOver to run the command

$ tail -n 1 run.resid > run.tail.resid
