Description

We should allow the users to configure what field data they want output to a file. Something like:

output_fields = {
    type = json,
    frequency = end,
    [0] = {"temperature", "l2", frequency},
    [1] = {"displacement", "full"}
}

Options should be:

  • output language (hdf5, yaml, json)
  • which fields
    • type of information dump = l2, full, average, min, max
    • frequency of dump vs end state

Research direction

Begin by locating the input-file configuration and the existing field-data output path. Define how the input selects HDF5, YAML, or JSON, fields, dump type, and end-state versus periodic frequency. Done means those options can be configured from the input file and produce the requested output.
