Detailed Description

Wrapper around functionObjects to add time control.

Adds

timeStart, timeEnd activation
deltaT modification to hit writeInterval (note: if adjustableRunTime also in controlDict this has to be an integer multiple)
smooth deltaT variation through optional deltaTCoeff parameter

Note: Since the timeIndex is used directly from Foam::Time, it is unaffected by user-time conversions. For example, Foam::engineTime might cause writeInterval to be degrees crank angle, but the functionObject execution interval would still be in timestep.

The function object can be limited to operate within a time range using the timeStart and timEnd options. All objects are read (and the OutputFilter allocated) on construction. However, if a timeEnd is supplied, the object will call the 'end' function of the filter at the timeEnd time and destroy the filter. Any other callback (execute(), write(), timeSet() etc) will only operate if within the timeStart, timeEnd time range. Note that the time range uses 0.5 * deltaT as a comparison tolerance to account for precision errors.
