I like the idea of changing the existing extensions for aerodynamic and structural variables to be more descriptive.
However, I don't think all variables related to the thermal problem can use a single extension is the same way. This is because the thermal problem is actually two thermal disciplines, convection and conduction.
The meldThermal
component for example transfers temperatures from the conduction mesh to the convection mesh.
so with only a single extension naming convention the variables would be
-------------
temp_therm ---->| MeldThermal | ---> temp_therm
-------------
Two distinct extensions are needed to separate the temperature variables in the conduction and convection analysis.
-------------
temp_convec_therm ---->| MeldThermal | ---> temp_conduc_therm
-------------
or simply
-------------
temp_conv ---->| MeldThermal | ---> temp_cond
-------------
Implemented in #50
I'm adding an issue raised by others at the last meeting, so that it can be discussed further here.
The issue, as paraphrased by @kejacobson is
and the current idea that came out of the meeting is
