Description
The classes
ParticleSnapshot
,CellSnapshot
, andTetraMeshSpatialGrid
each contained a customized variation of the code for creating and using a search data structure that can efficiently find particles/cells overlapping a given position or ray (half-line). With this update, this code has been unified, streamlined and moved into a separate utility class calledBoxSearch
.Motivation
Reducing code duplication benefits maintainability. Moreover, this functionality is now easily available for other (future) classes that may need it.
Tests
All functional tests work unchanged (binary compatible). Search performance for the tested larger models is similar to that in the previous version of the code.
