Class
    Foam::functionObjects::ensightCloudWriteObject

Group
    grpLagrangianFunctionObjects

Description
    This functionObject writes cloud(s) in ensight format

    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    cloudWrite1
    {
        type            ensightCloud;
        libs            (lagrangianFunctionObjects);
        writeControl    writeTime;
        writeInterval   1;
        format          ascii;

        timeFormat      scientific;
        timePrecision   5;

        cloud           myCloud;
        fields          (T U rho);
        width           4;  // file-padding

        selection
        {
            stride
            {
                // every 10th parcelId
                action  add;
                source  stride;
                stride  10;
            }
            Umin
            {
                // Remove slow parcels
                action  subtract;
                source  field;
                field   U;
                accept  (less 1e-3);
            }
            diam
            {
                // Only particular diameter ranges
                action  subset;
                source  field;
                field   d;
                accept  (greater 1e-3) and (less 1e-3);
            }
        }
    }
    \endverbatim

    \heading Basic Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description                      | Required | Default
        type         | Type name: ensightCloud          | yes |
        clouds       | List of clouds (name or regex)   | no  |
        cloud        | Cloud name                       | no  |
        fields       | List of fields (name or regex)   | no  |
        selection    | Parcel selection control         | no  | empty-dict
    \endtable

    \heading Output Options
    \table
        Property     | Description                      | Required | Default
        format       | Format as ascii or binary        | no  | binary
        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
        width        | Padding width for file name      | no  | 8
        prune        | Suppress writing of empty clouds | no  | false
        timeFormat   | Time format (ensight case)       | no  | scientific
        timePrecision | Time precision (ensight case)   | no  | 5
        writeControl | Output control                   | recommended | timeStep
    \endtable

    The output filename and fields are added to the functionObjectProperties
    information. For the previous example specification:

    \verbatim
    cloudWrite1
    {
        myCloud
        {
            file    "<case>/simulation.case";
            fields  (T U rho);
        }
    }
    \endverbatim

Note
    The selection dictionary can be used for finer control of the parcel
    output. It contains a set of (add,subtract,subset,clear,invert)
    selection actions and sources.
    Omitting the selection dictionary is the same as specifying the
    conversion of all parcels (in the selected clouds).
    More syntax details are to be found in the corresponding
    Foam::Detail::parcelSelection class.
