Adding DVGeometryMulti to MPhys

[bernardopacini]

Purpose

Adding DVGeometryMulti to MPhys. I added pass-through functions and modified the compute and compute_jacvec_product calls as needed.

Expected time until merged

1 week.

Type of change

• [ ] Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• [X] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• [ ] Breaking change (non-backwards-compatible fix or feature)
• [ ] Code style update (formatting, renaming)
• [ ] Refactoring (no functional changes, no API changes)
• [ ] Documentation update

Testing

I tried this on my optimization and it appears to work (local analysis and derivatives on HPC). I would appreciate others verifying this on their cases.

Checklist

I didn't add the addIntersection() method to the MPhys wrapper. Let me know if you think it should be here or if it should be left as a direct reference to the underlying class.

[bernardopacini]

Additional note: when adding a global DV the input was being added twice to OpenMDAO. This bug is fixed here too.

[bernardopacini]

It turns out PR #201 broke the naming convention for child FFDs by prepending the child name by default. This meant that MPhys would not connect the OM variable to the DVGeo variable because the names would not match. I fixed that in this PR by setting prependName=False for all FFD-based design variables.

[bernardopacini]

There is some weird behavior in the derivatives: the first check totals is fine, but a second check totals after a design perturbation makes the second function derivative wrong. This only happens when there is an intersection. I can't exclude this being an issue with DAFoam (or even IDwarp), but I do not have the bandwidth to look more into this now. Converting to a draft.

[bernardopacini]

This is good to go. The issues with derivatives are coming from other code components, not DVGeo, and they are not unique to this PR. We should merge this in so it does not go stale again.

[bernardopacini]

Looks good overall. Is there a corresponding addIntersection call? If not, how are you handling it?

Instead of having a pass-through call in MPhys, I just call the DVGeo method directly. For example:

DVGeo = self.geometry.nom_getDVGeo()
self.geometry.nom_addComponent("hub", "FFD/hubFFD.xyz", triMesh="hubTri.cgns")
self.geometry.nom_addComponent("blade", "FFD/bladeFFD.xyz", triMesh="bladeTri.cgns")
DVGeo.addIntersection(
    "hub",
    "blade",
    dStarA=1.0,
    dStarB=0.05,
    featureCurves=featureCurves,
    project=True,
    includeCurves=True,
    curveEpsDict=curveEpsDict,
    anisotropy=[1.0, 1.0, 0.75],
    slidingCurves=slidingCurves,
    trackSurfaces=trackSurfaces,
)

Is this fine with you?

[anilyil]

Yeah this is fine I guess. The add intersection call itself does not modify openmdao i/o so thats ok
