#1359: add "read from file" option ot HydroBase's initial_data options ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: reviewed_ok Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: HydroBase ------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
Comment (by rhaas):
I took a closer look at IDFileADM to see what extra checking it provides.
The text "read from file" is taken from EinsteinInitial/IDFileADM's parameter initial_shift. That one has some longer text explaining the parameter:
{{{ Read the initial shift using the file reader. Note that this only allows you to read the shift from a file, it does not actually do it. You still have to programme the file reader accordingly. }}}
To avoid users to run with the wrong data, then I wrote a very simple thorn IDFileHydro that extends the parameters and provides some errror checking in ParamCheck the way IDFileADM does. I put the thorn into incoming: https://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/incoming/IDFileHydro/ .
