velocity vs time plot in paraFoam
 

Hello all,

I have a very basic question in using paraFoam ..

Anyone please tell me know how do I plot velocity as a function of time..

My simulation domain is 2D rectangular region (xmax = 0.2 and ymax = 0.6). I have velocities for every time T upto 500 seconds. I have to plot velocity vs time plot at a particular value of x and y (x = 0.05 and y = 0.25).

I was able to plot velocity vs x - coordinate (or y - coordinate ) for each time T (i.e. for constant T and varying X or Y coordinates) but I was not successful plotting velocity vs time T for constant X and Y coordinates (i.e. at fixed position but varying time T).

Awaiting for replies

plot selection over time
 

I used plot selection over time in th filter menu ..but when I click apply nothing is displayed..

I think I have some problem in giving time data range

Dear Ragg,

I followed your procedure, and it was displaying the time plot, but along with the variable that I wanted it is also plotting the probe location and when I deselct the probe location using the display tab, I get the following error


ASSERT failure in QList<T>::operator[]: "index out of range", file /usr/include/qt4/QtCore/qlist.h, line 399
Aborted


Further, I wanted to plot valocity so when I change from U_mag to U_x component I get the same error and paraview exits on its own..

Kindly let me know what could be the issue.

Thanks

Hi Vishal,

Initially even I struggled to plot flow variables vs Time..
Later with the perlscripts I was able to extract data and plot variables vs Time (Thanks to my supervisor who helped me in this)

Dear Raghu,

Thanks for the reply. could you elaborate on the pearl scripts which you had mentioned.. Did you use paraview to view the time plots ??

Dear Raghavendra
Thanks for the procedure. I want to select a point by giving it's coordinates, not manual selecting on domain. How can I do that?
