Class
    Foam::functionObjects::timeControl
 
Description
    Wrapper around functionObjects to add time control.
 
    Adds
    - timeStart, timeEnd activation
    - deltaT modification to hit writeInterval (note: if adjustableRunTime
      also in controlDict this has to be an integer multiple)
    - smooth deltaT variation through optional deltaTCoeff parameter
 
Note
    Since the timeIndex is used directly from Foam::Time, it is unaffected
    by user-time conversions. For example, Foam::engineTime might cause \a
    writeInterval to be degrees crank angle, but the functionObject
    execution \a interval would still be in timestep.
 
    The function object can be limited to operate within a time range using
    the timeStart and timEnd options.  All objects are read (and the
    OutputFilter allocated) on construction.  However, if a timeEnd is
    supplied, the object will call the 'end' function of the filter
    at the timeEnd time and destroy the filter.
    Any other callback (execute(), write(), timeSet() etc) will only operate
    if within the timeStart, timeEnd time range. Note that the time range
    uses 0.5 * deltaT as a comparison tolerance to account for precision errors.
