JSBSim Flight Dynamics Model  1.1.11 (13 Feb 2022)
An Open Source Flight Dynamics and Control Software Library in C++
FGOutputFile Class Referenceabstract

Detailed Description

Abstract class that provide functions that are generic to all the outputs that are directed to a file.

A new class derived from FGOutputFile should be created for each file format that JSBSim is able to output.

This class provides all the machinery necessary to manage the file naming including the sequence in which the file should be opened then closed. The logic of SetStartNewOutput() is also managed in this class. Derived class should normally not need to reimplement this method. In most cases, derived classes only need to implement the methods OpenFile(), CloseFile() and Print().

Member Function Documentation

◆ InitModel()

bool InitModel ( void  )
overridevirtual

Initializes the instance.

This method basically opens the file to which outputs will be directed.

Returns
true if the execution succeeded.

Reimplemented from FGModel.

Definition at line 62 of file FGOutputFile.cpp.

63 {
65  if (Filename.isNull()) {
66  Filename = SGPath(Name);
67  runID_postfix = 0;
68  }
69  return OpenFile();
70  }
71 
72  return false;
73 }
+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ Load()

bool Load ( Element el)
overridevirtual

Init the output directives from an XML file.

Parameters
elementXML Element that is pointing to the output directives

Reimplemented from FGModel.

Reimplemented in FGOutputTextFile.

Definition at line 95 of file FGOutputFile.cpp.

96 {
97  if (!FGOutputType::Load(el))
98  return false;
99 
100  SetOutputName(el->GetAttributeValue("name"));
101 
102  return true;
103 }
+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ Print()

void Print ( void  )
overridepure virtual

Generate the output.

This is a pure method so it must be implemented by the classes that inherits from FGOutputFile.

Implements FGOutputType.

Implemented in FGOutputTextFile.

◆ SetOutputName()

void SetOutputName ( const std::string &  fname)
inlineoverridevirtual

Overwrites the name identifier under which the output will be logged.

For this method to take effect, it must be called prior to FGFDMExec::RunIC(). If it is called after, it will not take effect before the next call to SetStartNewOutput().

Parameters
namenew name

Reimplemented from FGOutputType.

Definition at line 102 of file FGOutputFile.h.

102  {
103  Name = (FDMExec->GetOutputPath()/fname).utf8Str();
104  runID_postfix = -1;
105  Filename = SGPath();
106  }
+ Here is the call graph for this function:
+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ SetStartNewOutput()

void SetStartNewOutput ( void  )
overridevirtual

Reset the output prior to a restart of the simulation.

This method should be called when the simulation is restarted with, for example, new initial conditions. The current file is closed and reopened with a new name. The new name is contructed from the base file name set by the class constructor or SetOutputName() and is appended with an underscore _ and an ID that is incremented at each call to this method.

Reimplemented from FGOutputType.
