Detailed Description

Generates an OPAL input file from data and template file.

When running the optimizer with the OPAL forward solvers this utility class helps generating OPAL input files corresponding to the design variable values of the requested evaluation. Using the data file we start by generating the dictionary of known templates. When the input file is requested, all template variables in the template input file are replaced with values found in the dictionary.

TODO:

pass stream directly to opal (detour over file not necessary)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

GenerateOpalSimulation::GenerateOpalSimulation	(	std::string	tmplFile,
		std::string	varDictionary,
		std::map< std::string, std::string >	userValues
	)

inline

Sets up the scaled variables and fills the dictionary with content of data file.

Parameters

[in]	tmplFile	filename of template file
[in]	varDictionary	filename of data file
[in]	userValues	template variables specified by the optimizer

Member Function Documentation

void GenerateOpalSimulation::fillDictionary ( )

inlineprivate

Parses the data file and insert all values into the dictionary.

The data file needs to conform to the specification:

comments start with a hash symbol (end of line comments possible),
a data row starts with the name of the template variable and the value is separated by at least one whitespace.

In some cases the simple parser may fail, the characters scanned when splitting data rows are

' ',
