anisotropy
==========
*anisotropy* is a ``Python`` package that is the result of science-research work
on the anisotropy of permeability in the periodic porous media.
A project uses own wrappers around external applications
for constructing a shapes and meshes (``Salome``) and computing a flow (``OpenFOAM``).

Getting Started
===============
Initializing a new anisotropy project
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To create a new anisotropy project, you'll use the ``anisotropy init`` command.
``anisotropy init`` is a one-time command you use during the initial setup of a new project.
Example:
.. code-block:: bash
$ mkdir ~/aproject
$ cd ~/aproject
$ anisotropy init
Executing this command will create a new ``anisotropy.db``, ``anisotropy.toml`` files in your
current working directory. This will also create ``build`` and ``logs`` directories for output files.
Database ``anisotropy.db`` is used for storing current values and results.
With ``anisotropy.toml`` you can configure all an initial values.
Computing
~~~~~~~~~
To start a computation, you'll use the ``anisotropy compute`` command. Using flag ``--stage`` you can
control what you need to compute (mesh or flow). Using flag ``--param`` you can specify which
structure/direction/theta you need to compute.
Example:
.. code-block:: bash
$ anisotropy compute --stage mesh --param type=simple --param direction="[1.0, 0.0, 0.0]" --param theta=0.01
.. attention::
* You can't compute a flow without mesh (if you didn't it before succesfully).
* ``type``, ``direction`` and ``theta`` are control parameters. If you aren't specifying it than default range of values will be used from ``anisotropy.toml``.
Post-processing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To use post-processing tools, you'll use the ``anisotropy postprocessing`` command.
Example:
.. code-block:: bash
$ anisotropy postprocessing permeability
Additional help
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You always can use ``--help`` flag with any of ``anistropy`` command to get more information.
