Data at nodes/grid points of cells

sagnikmazumdar · September 2, 2013, 23:07

Hi, I wonder if there is a way to extract data (locations and other flow parameters) at nodes/grid points of the cells in a domain. Am I right to assume that we can ONLY get cell center data directly in OpenFOAM ! Or are there utilities which can extract data at all nodes/grid points of the cells in a domain !

Thanks
Sagnik

Hi Sagnik, did you find any solution to this problem? I'm facing the same issue.

Best regards.

In post-processing you can extract data at arbitrary points using "probes" https://doc.cfd.direct/openfoam/user...phs-monitoring
