Writing Xdmf from Fortran

Note code snippets on this page are from version 2 or 1 and need updating for xdmf 3.

Xdmf can be generated in many different manners. Using the low level HDF5 library and print statements is certainly one of them. Utilizing the XDMF API, however, provides some convenient advantages. Consider the following Fortran program which build a grid of Hexahedra with some node and cell centered values :

Running the program produces four files XYZ.dat, CONN.dat, NodeValues.dat and CellValues.dat. Now let's suppose we want to generate Xdmf. We could use the HDF5 fortran bindings and produce the XML via print statements (we could also shove bamboo shoots under our fingernails). A better approach would be to create a 'C' wrapper routine that we call from fortran which contains all of the necessary Xdmf calls to produce valid Xdmf XML and HDF5 files : 

#include <Xdmf.h>
// We want the filenames to be based on the iteration
// and padded with zeros
using std::setw;
using std::setfill;



// This works with g77. Different compilers require different
// name mangling.
#define XdmfWrite   xdmfwrite_




//
// C/C++ expect NULL terminated strings. Here is a conversion subroutine.
char *
DemoConvertFortranString( char *FtnName ) {
static char Name[80];
char *np;
memcpy(Name, FtnName, 79 );
Name[79] = '\0';
np = &Name[78];
while( ( np > Name ) && ( *np <= ' ') ) {
       np--;
       }
*np = '\0';
return( Name );
}



//
// C++ will mangle the name based on the argument list. This tells the
// compiler not to mangle the name so we can call it from 'C' (but
// really Fortran in this case)
//
extern "C" {
//
void
XdmfWrite( char *FtnName, int *Iteration,
   int *NumberOfPoints, int *NumberOfHex, XdmfFloat64 *Points,
   XdmfInt32 *Conns, XdmfFloat64 *NodeData,
   XdmfFloat64 *CellData){

root.SetDOM(&dom);
root.SetVersion(2.0);
root.Build();

// Domain

// Grid

domain.Insert(&grid);

}

Now we modify the Original Fortran code to call our new 'C' wrapper subroutine XdmfWrite()

Original : 

       KICKER = NITER
       DO 1000 ITER = 1, NITER
               CALL CellData( IDIM, JDIM, KDIM, ITER, KICKER, XYZ, CCVALUES)
               WRITE ( IUNIT, * ) CCVALUES
1000    CONTINUE
       CLOSE (  IUNIT )
C
       END

Modified : 

       INHEX = ( IDIM - 1 )  * ( JDIM - 1 ) * ( KDIM - 1 )
       INPNT = IDIM * JDIM * KDIM
       KICKER = NITER
       DO 1000 ITER = 1, NITER
               CALL CellData( IDIM, JDIM, KDIM, ITER, KICKER, XYZ, CCVALUES)
               WRITE ( IUNIT, * ) CCVALUES
               CALL XDMFWRITE( 'Demo', ITER, INPNT, INHEX, XYZ, ICONN, NCVALUES, CCVALUES)
1000    CONTINUE
       CLOSE (  IUNIT )
C
       END

The program now produces one HDF5 file and one XML file for each iteration. Here is one of the XML output files : 

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE Xdmf SYSTEM "Xdmf.dtd" []>
<Xdmf xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" Version="2">
 <Domain>
   <Grid Name="Demonstration Grid" GridType="Uniform">
     <Topology TopologyType="Hexahedron" NumberOfElements="1680 " BaseOffset="1">
       <DataItem Dimensions="13440 " NumberType="Float" Precision="4" Format="HDF">Demo_00004.h5:/Conns</DataItem>
     </Topology>
     <Geometry GeometryType="XYZ">
       <DataItem Dimensions="6435 " NumberType="Float" Precision="4" Format="HDF">Demo_00004.h5:/Points</DataItem>
     </Geometry>

The final step would be to group all of these together so we could animate them over time. Instead of duplicating the XML in another file for each grid, we can use a little XML magic to pull them together : 

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE Xdmf SYSTEM "Xdmf.dtd" []>
