Quantity type names

[seanpearsonuk]

This fluids example includes temperature exraction:

temperature = simulation.temperature()

The naming of such fields is constrained by DPF and I understand that providers such as the CFF (in this case) are adhering to a contract that makes this seamless. This contract comprises a set of primary field quantity types and their names. The provider can also provide arbitrarily named fields that automatically extend the simulation interface.

A couple of questions:

1. Is the core set of names documented?
2. Is there a naming convention for other names so that the interface looks consistent? If so, is such a convention applied at the simulation interface by transforming the provider's names or is that directly imposed as part of the contract with providers?

Thank you! @cbellot000 @rlagha

Hi @seanpearsonuk, yes,
you can find the list of results available and wrapped in pydpf-post in the API doc. And in a more reusable way, taking a look at the "result"category of our Operators doc can help, you will have the extensive list of all result available in the DPF server an by clicking on them the description of the result type
