Detailed Description

TreeSpatialGridTopologyProbe outputs a text data file representing the topology (i.e. the subdivision structure) of the tree grid used to discretize the spatial domain in the simulation. The resulting data file can be loaded by a FileTreeSpatialGrid instance to recreate a grid in another simulation that is identical to the one in the current simulation. This can be useful in situations where multiple simulations are being performed on input models with the same (or a very similar) spatial distribution of the transfer medium. Constructing a tree grid based on the medium density distribution takes time (because of the large number of density samples required), and the tree is likely to differ slightly between various runs (because the density is sampled at random positions, and the random number sequence varies because of parallelization). Loading the tree from the topology data file is much faster and guarantees that all simulations use identical tree grids. Note that the topology data stored in the file is scale-free; the simulation loading the topology must define the extent of the spatial domain.

The output file is called prefix_probe_treetop.dat. After a brief descriptive header, the file contains lines with just a single integer number. The first line specifies the number of children for each nonleaf node (2 for a binary tree, 8 for an octtree, or 0 if the root node is not subdivided). The second line contains 1 if the root node is subdivided, or 0 if not. The following lines similarly contain 1 or 0 indicating subdivision for any children of the preceding node, recursively, in a depth-first traversal of the tree.

This item type is displayed only if the Boolean expression "Level3&TreeSpatialGrid" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.
