Hello,

After the simulation of Time 4000, I would like to know what the Ux, y, z and U Magnitude at a specific point of my geometry, such as (x, y, z)=(0.05, 100, 1.20).

I know only probes function:
During the processing of simpleFoam,

$foamGet probes

in the probes file,

points
(
       (0.05 100 1.20)
       (4.05     0  2.50)
       // ....I have to represent total 51 points
);

fields (U);

And after processing, when I try to

$foamMonitor -l postProcessing/probes/0/U &

The graph is messy. It represents all U values during the Time 1 - 4000 for all 51 points.

All I want to know is U values of 51 points only at the latest time (Time 4000).
How can I represent it?

Thanks!

Hello Mary,


What you can do is just to run the following command at the end of your simulation and once it is reconstructed (in case of parallel computing)

postProcessing -latestTime -func probes

This command will run the probes dictionary you have created and it will run it only for the latest time of your simulation. It will create a file under "postProcessing/probes/4000/U" where you will find the coordinates of your probes and below them the values of the velocity vector. The format is a bit strange and to treat it is better to use python.


I hope I have helped you.

You could alternatively use paraview. You have to choose the points either manually, or along a surface or line if you do it this way though
