Writing face centre values

AshwaniAssam · February 8, 2014, 07:09

Hi all,

Is runTime.write() is only for writing volume fields? If yes what is the equivalent for writing face values.

For

surfaceScalarField Mach_sf = M_Lplus +M_Rminus;

I want to write at runtime value of Mach_sf.

You can have a look at the writeCellCentres utility, and Mach_sf.write() should work .

Good morning,

No, runTime outputting also works for surfaceField<Type>, but you should make sure that you do not define your field inside a scope, such that it is deleted, once runTime.write() is executed.

If these things is not a problem, then it might be the write properties of the field, which can be changed with something along the following line:

Code:

fieldName.regIOobject::writeOpt() = IOobject::AUTO_WRITE;

Kind regards,

Niels
