Well, it all depends on how you ran the case in the first place... if you used an Allrun script, identical to OpenFOAM's tutorials, then you can try adding this to the end of the script:

Code:

echo "Sending separate email with the simulation status..."

  (

    echo "Case in question:"

    head -n 20 log.$application

    echo

     echo

     echo

     echo

    echo "Last 100 lines of the output for the solver $application:"

     echo

    tail -n 100 log.$application

  ) | mail -s "Summary Report from the case $PWD" yourname@email.address

The mail application can be one of several. In my case, I use the package "bsd-mailx" on Ubuntu.

The "$application" variable is sometimes defined in Allrun scripts... for example in "tutorials/incompressible/pimpleFoam/TJunctionFan/Allrun": https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...tionFan/Allrun

Best regards,

Hi Bruno,

I am not using the Allrun option because the university server doesn't allow it. What other option do I can use to send me an email? Is there another script where I can add this command?

Regards

Karla

Greetings Karla,

You should ask about this to the system administrator for the server you're using, because the job scheduler that the server uses should have an option to send you an email when the simulation is complete.

If not, it's possible that the server doesn't even allow sending emails from the master node. But if it does, it's a matter of unravelling the code on the example you've quoted, into something like this:

Code:

mpirun -np $NPROCS mySolver -parallel > log.mySolver 2>&1



mail -s "Summary Report from the case $PWD" yourname@email.address < log.mySolver

Best regards,
Bruno
