change/increase maxCo
 

Hi all,

how can I change the maxCo (controlDict) during a calculation.

I want to start my computation with a low maxCo value. And after some iterations change it and increase it a little bit and so on.

Is there an easy way to do this?

You can change it directly by editing the controlDict. A default installation of OpenFOAM should detect the change at the next time-step.

Hi Alberto,

I know that I can modify the controlDict file during the computation.

But I would prefer to have something like a script in order to leave my case running in batch mode ?

Don't know if there is a nice way to do it.

Stéphane.

You could write a script to replace the line containing maxCo with the line containing the new maxCo, as long as a complete controlDict is always present on the disk during the operation (if not, the trun would fail).
