Hello Everyone,
I have a problem related to saving the results I get with fipy. It's in
some way related to my previous post entitled "Using functions from the
math or numpy modules".
I'm working on a transient problem and I need to store the values of my
variables at each time step. I decided to use a dictionary for that
purpose because it's easy to pickle for latter use. For example, if I
had a variable "T":
d = {'T': []}
Then, at each time step, I would append the value of the variable to the
list:
d['T'].append(T.getValue())
The problem is that each entry of the list is evaluated (lazy
evaluation) when it's called and a the end, I get a list with a series
of identical entries.
So, my question is: What would be the best way of bypassing the lazy
evaluation and just save the numerical values? I tried
T.getNumericalValue()
but that didn't work.
I'm now considering
d['T'].append(copy(T.getValue()))
Would that be a good solution or is there something better?
Many thanks!
Etienne
