Minimum Size File type for isoSurfaces -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

October 2, 2015, 13:46	Minimum Size File type for isoSurfaces	#1
im_lenny New Member Leonard Cassady Join Date: Aug 2015 Posts: 14 Rep Power: 10	I am extracting surfaces from large openfoam solutions using isoSurface. I am doing this in post-processing with the "execFlowFunctionObjects -noFlow " command. I am surprised at the size of the files generated. I have tried most of the file types available. I have found that the .raw file is stored as ascii - not binary. How can I make it binary? I found that the openFoam format is reasonably compact. I have found that the vtk format is not compact. Are there any tricks for making small or binary files with the execFlowFunctionObjects command? I am using OpenFoam 2.4.0
