Very small Matlab job: post-processing OpenFOAM (.CSV) results

RbBb · July 10, 2016, 15:56

I have what is probably a very small MATLAB job. I would like to make figures that compare results from OpenFOAM flow calculations with results from a second code. If this isn't the best place to be posting about a MATLAB job, I'd be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

I already have a MATLAB code for plotting results from the second code. It allows me to create a separate plot for each time step in a flow calculation.

I want to be able to change the MATLAB code so I can put OpenFOAM results on each plot. The OpenFOAM results are in the form of .CSV files (I can output them from Paraview). There's a separate .CSV file for each time step.

To clarify, I know how to take one plot and add to it. What I'm looking for is a general code for dealing with any flow calculation (i.e., with an arbitrary number of time steps, etc). This is beyond my primitive MATLAB skills. I have to use MATLAB because the second code only generates MATLAB output. My budget is about 30 - 50 Euros.

Please feel free to ask any questions.
