Howdy! I'm writing a programmable filter that makes changes to a vector
field based on grid point properties (it's a polar orthographic
transform using a highly accurate Earth shape model).
This works well. However, when one changes the time step, it recomputes
those grid point properties to apply to the vector field. This is a
very expensive operation, and is quite unnecessary since the grid
doesn't change over time. I'd like to somehow cache the grid point
property array so that I could simply reuse it if it's already been
computed.
I thought about storing it as a Field Data array. However, can one be
guaranteed that the Field Data from the programmable filter *output*
will still be in place within the same filter when the pipeline
re-executes? If not, is there some other mechanism for a programmable
filter to retain persistent data across time step changes?
Thanks!
Sean
