SetShowTime

By using this method you can measure the time required in each subroutine of AbstractMesh.

The obj_SetShowTime procedure is a method of the AbstractMesh_ class that allows users to set the showTime option for a mesh object. When enabled, this option causes the mesh to display timing information for various mesh operations, which can be useful for performance analysis.

Syntax

CALL obj%SetShowTime(VALUE)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Intent	Description
obj	CLASS(AbstractMesh_)	INOUT	The mesh object whose showTime option is being set
VALUE	LOGICAL(LGT)	IN	Boolean value to set for the showTime option

Description

The SetShowTime method simply sets the internal showTime logical flag in the mesh object to the value provided in the VALUE parameter. When this flag is set to .TRUE., the mesh will display timing information for various operations to help with performance analysis and debugging.

Example Usage

TYPE(Mesh_) :: mesh
! Initialize mesh here...

! Turn on timing display for mesh operations
CALL mesh%SetShowTime(.TRUE.)

! Some mesh operations...
CALL mesh%InitiateNodeToElements()
CALL mesh%InitiateNodeToNodes()

! Turn off timing display when no longer needed
CALL mesh%SetShowTime(.FALSE.)

Implementation Details

The implementation is very straightforward - it simply assigns the input value to the internal showTime attribute of the mesh object:

MODULE PROCEDURE obj_SetShowTime
obj%showTime = VALUE
END PROCEDURE obj_SetShowTime

Notes

• When the showTime option is enabled, various mesh operations will display the time taken for their execution.
• This can be helpful for identifying performance bottlenecks in mesh processing operations.
• The timing information is typically displayed on the standard output.
• For production code, it's recommended to set this option to .FALSE. to avoid unnecessary output.
