Class
    Foam::functionObjects::ensightWrite

Group
    grpUtilitiesFunctionObjects

Description
    Writes fields in ensight format.

    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    ensight
    {
        type            ensightWrite;
        libs            (utilityFunctionObjects);
        writeControl    writeTime;
        writeInterval   1;
        format          binary;

        overwrite       true;
        width           12;

        fields          (U p);
        // excludeFields  ("force.*");

        selection
        {
            box
            {
                action  use;
                source  box;
                box     (-0.1 -0.01 -0.1) (0.1 0.30 0.1);
            }
            dome
            {
                action  add;
                shape   sphere;
                origin  (-0.1 -0.01 -0.1);
                radius  0.25;
            }
            centre
            {
                action  subtract;
                source  sphere;
                origin  (-0.1 -0.01 -0.1);
                radius  0.1;
            }
            blob
            {
                action  add;
                source  surface;
                surface triSurfaceMesh;

    \heading Basic Usage
    \table
        Property    | Description                           | Required | Default
        type        | Type name: ensightWrite               | yes |
        fields      | Fields to output                      | yes |
        excludeFields | Exclude fields from output (wordRe list) | no  |
        boundary    | Convert boundary fields               | no  | true
        internal    | Convert internal fields               | no  | true
        nodeValues  | Write values at nodes                 | no  | false
    \endtable

    \heading Ensight Output Options
    \table
        Property    | Description                           | Required | Default
        format      | ascii or binary format        | no | same as simulation
        width       | Mask width for \c data/XXXX           | no  | 8
        directory   | The output directory name     | no | postProcessing/NAME
        overwrite   | Remove existing directory             | no  | false
        consecutive | Consecutive output numbering          | no  | false
    \endtable

    \heading Output Selection
    \table
        Property    | Description                           | Required | Default
        region      | Name for a single region              | no  | region0
        faceZones   | Select faceZones to write             | no  |
        patches     | Limit to listed patches (wordRe list) | no  |
        excludePatches | Exclude specified patches          | no  |
        selection   | Cell selection (topoSet actions)      | no  | empty dict
    \endtable

Note
    The region of interest is defined by the selection dictionary
    as a set of actions (use,add,subtract,subset,invert).
    Omitting the selection dictionary is the same as specifying the
    conversion of all cells (in the selected regions).
    Omitting the patches entry is the same as specifying the conversion of all
    patches.

    Consecutive output numbering can be used in conjunction with \c overwrite.
