icoco 0.0.16

ICoCo Python implementation

ICoCo API - Version 2 (02/2021)

WARNING: This API should not be changed!!

See https://github.com/cea-trust-platform/icoco-coupling for full reference.

ICoCo stands for Interface for Code Coupling. This is a norm that a code may choose to implement to facilitate its coupling with other ICoCo-compliant codes.

Practically ICoCo is provided as a main abstract C++ class (ICoCo::Problem) that a code has to derive to implement the norm. This can be only a partial implementation as some methods are not relevant to all the codes (especially the I/O methods of the API).

The API rely on ICoCo::MEDDoubleField and ICoCo::MEDIntField for some of the field exchange methods. An implementation for those is provided by the SALOME MEDCoupling library (version 9.7+)

This package implements the abstract class {class}icoco.problem.Problem in Python following the specifications of the c++ version.

The Python implementation proposed is based on {mod}medcoupling implementation for fields and {mod}mpi4py for MPI communication. Nevertheless, it is possible to use other implementation of such concepts within this package.
