How to modify folder path for output's writing

Lorenzo92 · December 2, 2016, 12:39

Dear collegues,

I have the need to modify the path where some fields are written, let's say UMean.gz and pMean.gz: I have to write these output files always in the same place overwriting the old ones.
Is there anyone who can give me a hint about where to modify to source code?

Really need your help, I need these modification in order to save memory for a huge simulation on a HPC cluster.
Thank you

Solved!!

If you are interested look in IOobjectRegistry: there is a line which sets the name of the writing folder. Just modify that line to decide where to write field data for that IOobjectRegistry .
