Hi all, is there any way to force FOAM to do a check point writing during a running?.
Sometimes I'm running big cases and want to know how the results are going. It would be nice to tell FOAM to do a writeNow but without stopping Regards.

Perhaps this is what you are looking for: In system/controlDict change the writeControl to timeStep and the writeInterval to 1. If runTimeModifiable is set to true this will write the results of the next time step/iteration to the disk. Then change the settings back to what they were before.

Yes, sometimes I do that, but it resets the counter for writing and you lose the original writing interval, i.e. if you were writing each 10 secs. and you ask to dump data at t=11, then when you go back to write every 10 secs. you will have dirs 21, 22, and so on.
Regards.
