NAME
Grid_sendOutputData
SYNOPSIS
call Grid_sendOutputData()
DESCRIPTION
This routine allows the Grid unit to checkpoint any scalar data
stored in the Grid_data Fortran modules and is called by the
routine IO_updateScalars before checkpointing. To send data to
the IO unit this routine calls IO_setScalar. In addition this
routine may prepare any other data the IO unit needs for
checkpointing which the Grid unit owns.
For example, the Grid unit owns the variable which defines the
grid geometry gr_geometry. This value needs to be checkpointed so
that visualization tools can determine if the simulation ran with
cartesian, spherical, cylindrical etc. coordinates. To send
scalar data such as gr_geometry to the IO unit to be checkpointed,
the routine calls IO_setScalar("geometry", gr_geometry)
