ReconstructPar

reconstructPar does not copy nAveragingSteps.raw from processor0 to the reconstructed directory. As a result rerunning a case from a reconstructed field, will start averaging from the last time step and all the averaged history will be lost.

A bad solution is to copy that file by hand from every processor0/timedirectory to the reconstructed field . I post this as a bug because, it is hard to spot.

Best regards,
Maka

Which version of OpenFOAM are you running?

maka · August 19, 2007, 17:02

V 1.3. The above is also true when you use decomposePar with startTime pointing to a time directory that has nAveragingStep.raw. The file will not be copied to processor0.

Best regards,
Maka.

We have fixed this problem in version 1.4.1.

It seems to be fixed in 1.4 as well.
