Variables and structures reference (C and Fortran)

Introduction

This page is meant to help users find their way through when implementing user C functions or Fortran subroutines or even developing inside the code kernel. It provides cross-reference tables containing the names of Fortran variables and their C counterparts as well as guidelines about how to manage the mesh entities and the fields (variables, properties, ...). In addition, some naming conventions are described.

Note: variables with the same name in Fortran and in C are most of the time not listed.

Contents

Cross-reference tables and guidelines are organized as follows:

• How to access and manage the main mesh entities and mesh quantities ?
• How to access and manage variables and properties using the cs_field API?
• How to name common local variables ?
• List of main field keys
