    Initialises the data manager. If do_restart is True and a restart directory is found the contained data is loaded (hasData() returns True) otherwise restart directories are removed (hasData() returns False). Values are only written to disk when export() is called.

    Parameters: | formats – A list of export file formats to use. Allowed values are RESTART, SILO, VISIT, VTK. work_dir – top-level directory where files are exported to restart_prefix – prefix for restart directories.

class `esys.escript.` `FileWriter`(fn, append=False, createLocalFiles=False)

  Bases: `object`

  Interface to write data to a file. In essence this class wrappes the standard `file` object to write data that are global in MPI to a file. In fact, data are writen on the processor with MPI rank 0 only. It is recommended to use `FileWriter` rather than `open` in order to write code that is running with as well as with MPI. It is safe to use `open` onder MPI to read data which are global under MPI.

  Variables: | name – name of file mode – access mode (=’w’ or =’a’) closed – True to indicate closed file newlines – line seperator

  `__init__`(fn, append=False, createLocalFiles=False)

    Opens a file of name `fn` for writing. If running under MPI only the first processor with rank==0 will open the file and write to it. If `createLocalFiles` each individual processor will create a file where for any processor with rank>0 the file name is extended by its rank. This option is normally only used for debug purposes.

    Parameters: | fn (`str`) – filename. append (`bool`) – switches on the creation of local files. createLocalFiles (`bool`) – switches on the creation of local files.

  `close`()

    Closes the file

  `flush`()

  `writelines`(txts)

    Write the list `txt` of strings to the file.

    Parameters: | txts (any iterable object producing strings) – sequense of strings to be written to file
    Note: | Note that newlines are not added. This method is equivalent to call write() for each string.

  Describes a sequence of work to be carried out in a subworld. The instances of this class used in the subworlds will be constructed by the system. To do specific work, this class should be subclassed and the work() (and possibly __init__ methods overloaded). The majority of the work done by the job will be in the overloaded work() method. The work() method should retrieve values from the outside using importValue() and pass values to the rest of the system using exportValue(). The rest of the methods should be considered off limits.

  `__init__`(*args, **kwargs)

    It ignores all of its parameters, except that, it requires the following as keyword arguments

    Variables: | domain – Domain to be used as the basis for all `Data` and PDEs in this Job. jobid – sequence number of this job. The first job has id=1

class `esys.escript.` `NonlinearPDE`(domain, u, debug=0)

  Bases: `object`

  This class is used to define a general nonlinear, steady, second order PDE for an unknown function u on a given domain defined through a `Domain` object.

  For a single PDE having a solution with a single component the nonlinear PDE is defined in the following form:

  -div(X) + Y = 0

  where X,*Y*=f(u,*grad(u)*). div(F) denotes the divergence of F and grad(F) is the spatial derivative of F.

  The coefficients X (rank 1) and Y (scalar) have to be specified through `Symbol` objects.

  The following natural boundary conditions are considered:

  n[j]*X[j] + y = 0

  where n is the outer normal field. Notice that the coefficient X is defined in the PDE. The coefficient y is a scalar `Symbol`.

  Constraints for the solution prescribe the value of the solution at certain locations in the domain. They have the form

  u=r where q>0

  r and q are each scalar where q is the characteristic function defining where the constraint is applied. The constraints override any other condition set by the PDE or the boundary condition.

  For a system of PDEs and a solution with several components, u is rank one, while the PDE coefficient X is rank two and y is rank one.

  The PDE is solved by linearising the coefficients and iteratively solving the corresponding linear PDE until the error is smaller than a tolerance or a maximum number of iterations is reached.

  Typical usage:

      u = Symbol('u', dim=dom.getDim())
      p = NonlinearPDE(dom, u)
      p.setValue(X=grad(u), Y=1+5*u)
      v = p.getSolution(u=0.)

class `esys.escript.` `SubWorld`

  Bases: `Boost.Python.instance`

  Information about a group of workers.

  `__init__`()

    Raises an exception This class cannot be instantiated from Python

class `esys.escript.` `Symbol`(*args, **kwargs)

  Bases: `object`

  `Symbol` objects are placeholders for a single mathematical symbol, such as ‘x’, or for arbitrarily complex mathematical expressions such as ‘c*x**4+alpha*exp(x)-2*sin(beta*x)’, where ‘alpha’, ‘beta’, ‘c’, and ‘x’ are also Symbols (the symbolic ‘atoms’ of the expression).

  With the help of the ‘Evaluator’ class these symbols and expressions can be resolved by substituting numeric values and/or escript `Data` objects for the atoms. To facilitate the use of `Data` objects a `Symbol` has a shape (and thus a rank) as well as a dimension (see constructor). Symbols are useful to perform mathematical simplifications, compute derivatives and as coefficients for nonlinear PDEs which can be solved by the `NonlinearPDE` class.

  `__init__`(*args, **kwargs)

    Initialises a new `Symbol` object in one of three ways:

        u=Symbol('u')

    returns a scalar symbol by the name ‘u’.

    > alpha=Symbol(‘alpha’, (4,3))

    returns a rank 2 symbol with the shape (4,3), whose elements are named ‘[alpha]_i_j’ (with i=0..3, j=0..2).

    > a,b,c=symbols(‘a,b,c’) x=Symbol([[a+b,0,0],[0,b-c,0],[0,0,c-a]])

    returns a rank 2 symbol with the shape (3,3) whose elements are explicitly specified by numeric values and other symbols/expressions within a list or numpy array.

    The dimensionality of the symbol can be specified through the `dim` keyword. All other keywords are passed to the underlying symbolic library (currently sympy).

    Parameters: | args – initialisation arguments as described above dim (`int`) – dimensionality of the new Symbol (default: 2)

  `applyfunc`(f, on_type=None)

    Applies the function `f` to all elements (if on_type is None) or to all elements of type `on_type`.

  `atoms`(*types)

    Returns the atoms that form the current Symbol.

    By default, only objects that are truly atomic and cannot be divided into smaller pieces are returned: symbols, numbers, and number symbols like I and pi. It is possible to request atoms of any type, however.

    Note that if this symbol contains components such as [x]_i_j then only their main symbol ‘x’ is returned.

    Parameters: | types – types to restrict result to
    Returns: | list of atoms of specified type
    Return type: | `set`

  `coeff`(x, expand=True)

    Returns the coefficient of the term “x” or 0 if there is no “x”.

    If “x” is a scalar symbol then “x” is searched in all components of this symbol. Otherwise the shapes must match and the coefficients are checked component by component.

    Example:

        x=Symbol('x', (2,2))
        y=3*x
        print y.coeff(x)
        print y.coeff(x[1,1])

    will print:

        [[3 3]
         [3 3]]

        [[0 0]
         [0 3]]

    Parameters: | x (`Symbol`, `numpy.ndarray`, `list`) – the term whose coefficients are to be found
    Returns: | the coefficient(s) of the term
    Return type: | `Symbol`

  `diff`(*symbols, **assumptions)
  `evalf`()

    Applies the sympy.evalf operation on all elements in this symbol

  `expand`()

    Applies the sympy.expand operation on all elements in this symbol

  `getDataSubstitutions`()

    Returns a dictionary of symbol names and the escript `Data` objects they represent within this Symbol.

    Returns: | the dictionary of substituted `Data` objects
    Return type: | `dict`

  `getDim`()

    Returns the spatial dimensionality of this symbol.

    Returns: | the symbol’s spatial dimensionality, or -1 if undefined
    Return type: | `int`

  `getRank`()

    Returns the rank of this symbol.

    Returns: | the symbol’s rank which is equal to the length of the shape.
    Return type: | `int`

  `getShape`()

    Returns the shape of this symbol.

    Returns: | the symbol’s shape
    Return type: | `tuple` of `int`

  `grad`(where=None)

    Returns a symbol which represents the gradient of this symbol. :type where: `Symbol`, `FunctionSpace`

  `inverse`()
  `is_Add` = False
  `is_Float` = False
  `item`(*args)

    Returns an element of this symbol. This method behaves like the item() method of numpy.ndarray. If this is a scalar Symbol, no arguments are allowed and the only element in this Symbol is returned. Otherwise, ‘args’ specifies a flat or nd-index and the element at that index is returned.

    Parameters: | args – index of item to be returned
    Returns: | the requested element
    Return type: | `sympy.Symbol`, `int`, or `float`

  `lambdarepr`()
  `simplify`()

    Applies the sympy.simplify operation on all elements in this symbol

  `subs`(old, new)

    Substitutes an expression.

  `swap_axes`(axis0, axis1)
  `tensorProduct`(other, axis_offset)
  `tensorTransposedProduct`(other, axis_offset)
  `trace`(axis_offset)

    Returns the trace of this Symbol.

`esys.escript.` `saveESD`(datasetName, dataDir='.', domain=None, timeStep=0, deltaT=1, dynamicMesh=0, timeStepFormat='%04d', **data)

  Saves `Data` objects to files and creates an `escript dataset` (ESD) file for convenient processing/visualisation.

  Single timestep example:

      tmp = Scalar(..)
      v = Vector(..)
      saveESD("solution", "data", temperature=tmp, velocity=v)

  Time series example:

      while t < t_end:
          tmp = Scalar(..)
          v = Vector(..)
          # save every 10 timesteps
          if t % 10 == 0:
              saveESD("solution", "data", timeStep=t, deltaT=10, temperature=tmp, velocity=v)
          t = t + 1

  tmp, v and the domain are saved in native format in the “data” directory and the file “solution.esd” is created that refers to tmp by the name “temperature” and to v by the name “velocity”.

  Parameters: | datasetName (`str`) – name of the dataset, used to name the ESD file dataDir (`str`) – optional directory where the data files should be saved domain (`escript.Domain`) – domain of the `Data` object(s). If not specified, the domain of the given `Data` objects is used. timeStep (`int`) – current timestep or sequence number - first one must be 0 deltaT (`int`) – timestep or sequence increment, see example above dynamicMesh (`int`) – by default the mesh is assumed to be static and thus only saved once at timestep 0 to save disk space. Setting this to 1 changes the behaviour and the mesh is saved at each timestep. timeStepFormat (`str`) – timestep format string (defaults to “%04d”) <name> (`Data` object) – writes the assigned value to the file using <name> as identifier
  Note: | The ESD concept is experimental and the file format likely to change so use this function with caution.
  Note: | The data objects have to be defined on the same domain (but not necessarily on the same `FunctionSpace`).
  Note: | When saving a time series the first timestep must be 0 and it is assumed that data from all timesteps share the domain. The dataset file is updated in each iteration.
