Parameters of CSXCAD.ContinuousStructure.AddDump ?

[SengerM]

I want to know about the parameters of CSXCAD.ContinuousStructure.AddDump. I found some information in CSXCAD.CSProperties.CSPropDumpBox and in the analogous function from the matlab interface, but I see it has more arguments.

• Are the arguments the same in Python?
• Is there more information available on the meaning of arguments like SubSampling, OptResolution, etc? I don't understand the notation % SubSampling: field domain sub-sampling, e.g. '2,2,4', what is the meaning of 2,2,4 ?

About the arguments, I don't know but I tend to define the individual properties with the dedicated functions, like this :

dumpbox = CSX.AddDump(filename_prefix)
dumpbox.SetDumpType(0)  #E-field 
dumpbox.SetDumpMode(0) #no interpolation
dumpbox.AddBox(start, stop)

For Subsampling and OptResolution, based on the legacy wiki entry https://wiki.openems.de/index.php/Dump_Box_Property.html
You can reduce the spatial density of your dumps (I assume to reduce file size, because it is quite easy to generate 50+GB of dump data in one sim).
SetSubSampling(2,2,4) -> dump every 2nd value on x and y, every 4th value on z
SetOptResolution(2,2,4) -> dump such that there is a value on ~every 2drawing unit for x and y, ~every 4th drawing unit for z

You'd probably use only one of the two functions, I don't know which takes precedence over the other if you use both
