Modify the reconstructPar to delete the reconstructed parallel directories within the loop

maka · December 13, 2005, 05:22

I'm solving a case with big number of nodes and I need to save the instantaneous data. I need to modify the reconstructPar to delete the reconstructed parallel directories (within the reconstruction loop). I need to add an option to the command -savestorage which let the reconstructPar delete the reconstructed directory after reconstructing it. This can not be done at the end since the data are near a terra bite. I would be gratefule if any body can help.

Best regards,
Maka

I checked util/parallel/recostructPar.C. I know where (end of time-directories loop) to put the delete statement but I can't figure out what should I write to delete the folder. Can any body help.

Regards,
Maka

Try

for(label np = 0; np < nProcs; np++)
{
rmDir(mesh.path()/fileName(word("processor")+Foam::name(np)));

}

or something similar.
Foam wrappers for a lot of system commands can be found in Unix.C.
