Release notes

6.0.5 (in preparation)

Features:

Axis aligned bounding box:

Is now a from the right half-open interval.
Removed template from class declaration.


New configuration tree parser

Checks configuration parameters more strictly, automatically prints error/warning messages.
Requires Boost >= 1.56 because of boost::optional with move semantics.


Infrastructure

Minimum Boost version: 1.56.0, #943
Boost requirement is now header-only, #940


Documentation

Fixes

6.0.4

Features:

Parallel computing framework for FEM by using PETSc, which also includes

Parallel input of partitioned mesh data.
Parallel output of solutions by using pvtu data format.


New data structures for mesh properties are used everywhere replacing
Element's value member.
The penalty method to impose first-type boundary conditions was substituted
with a non-penalty method for LIS and Eigen linear solvers.
Support for multiple nodal variables is extended to the boundary conditions,
the sparsity pattern.
Passing of linear solver options from the project files is now possible.
The global matrix and global vector type of indices is consistent with the
linear solver library being used.


Infrastructure

Added CMake option OGS_CPU_ARCHITECTURE, #858, downloadable binaries build by Jenkins should now run on more CPUs
Added CMake options for Boost, VTK and Eigen (OGS_LIB_BOOST, ...) to specify if libs are searched on the system first, then build them locally (Default), or you can specify to just use system libs (System) or force a local build (Local)
Added CMake options for enabling Clang sanitizer:

OGS_ADDRESS_SANITIZER
OGS_UNDEFINED_BEHAVIOR_SANITIZER


The zlib library is removed from ThirdParty directory.
A LIS solver interface using Eigen's sparse matrices is now available through
CMake option OGS_USE_EIGENLIS.
CMake configuration uses ccache if available.


Documentation

Added offline viewable Doxygen documentation


Fixes

Fix all ogs-internal warnings on all OS.
Move eigen solver compute call to solve(); different fix for 0237275a


6.0.3

Features:


Mesh properties are now used for:

heterogeneous "initial conditions" (actually a start solution vector for the elliptic problem).
spatially heterogeneous hydraulic conductivity values in the groundwater flow process.


First steps towards time dependent problems: Time loop integration for processes is provided.


Interpolation of nodal quantities on elements using shape functions.


Mesh generator can create surface meshes according to a given function


Utilities:

The DOF table handles now all of the provided element types: Hex 8 and 20, Line 2 and 3, Prism 6 and 15, Pyramid 5 and 13, Quad 4, 8, and 9, Tet 4 and 10, Triangle 3 and 6.


Eigen linear solver library can be used for solution of the linear systems of equations.


Implemented OctTree for fast searching
points and nodes


Volumetric and surface grid


ElementSearcher NodeSearcher improvements


Generalized the computation of rotation matrix to xy


Fixes

FEFLOW interface supports element sets now.
Reduce compilation times by using forward declarations and removing unnecessary includes and using explicit template instantiation for often required classes.
GMSH2OGS: fixed bug in cases GMSH mesh does not contain line elements
CreateBoundaryConditionsAlongPolylines: fixed bug concerning the GeoLib and point ids.
PointVec corrected point id map
Shape interface creates polylines in a consistent state


Infrastructure

Replace quickcheck with autocheck. See https://github.com/thejohnfreeman/autocheck.git
for more details on autocheck
Added support for cross-compiling with MXE: build native Windows binaries on Linux and Mac OS, see Cross-Compiling help page and #767
Migrated to new Travis infrastructure (faster build times), see #775
Simplified CMake library linking, see #769


Test examples

Test case: groundwater flow in the Unstrut catchment (model consists approximately of 9e6 hexahedral cells)

Simulations using homogeneous and heterogeneous hydraulic conductivity
Integrated rivers as Dirichlet type boundary conditions
Integrated groundwater recharge (spatialy homogeneous) as Neumann boundary condition


Next steps
The next big step will be the implementation of a parallelization scheme using PETSc library

In development

OGS#PETSc interface for parallel computing

6.0.1
| Released 2015/03/02, GitHub Release Link
The 6th version of OpenGeoSys (OGS) is under way. After single and coupled FORTRAN modules in ROCKFLOW 1+2, the C version 3 with dynamic data structures, the object-oriented C++ parallelized version 4, completed with data integration and visualization tools by version 5; ogs6 - as an open source project - is aimed at performing on supercomputing platforms and providing complete workflows for solving of coupled multi-field problems in real world applications. The major paradigms of ogs6 are being developer-friendly, performing, and user-friendly.
