Creating weight files and visualise them

Author

In order to let YAC write out weight files the writing has to be enabled either through the interface or the configuration file by providing a weight file name.

YAC will write out the wight file in parallel. This parallel output can be configured as described here: Configuration of parallel IO in YAC

coupling:
  - src_component: ...
    tgt_component: ...
    ...
    field: TAUX
    weight_file_name: *weights_TAUX.nc*
  - ...

The my_weight_file.nc can be converted to vtk using weights2vtk.x in the src/utils directory

weights2vtk.x -S I -T I -s <source_grid.nc> -t <target_grid.nc> -w my_weight_file.nc -o weights.vtk

weights.vtk can be visualised with paraview.
