Took mit to #111.

PyFoam should parse the stuff there

Which version of PyFoam do you use?

I am using pyFoam-Version: 0.6.2

I had a look. Some of the solid-solvers in foam-extend-3.x (I assume you're using one of those from the link you posted. Yourself you didn't say what you're using) have residual-output that is slightly different from the normal form and therefor the regular expression that looks for residuals is confused. You'll have to say which solver you're using (preferably also a tutorial case to reproduce). Then I can say whether it is possible to fix it (for the solvers that add information to the residual line I recommend a customRegexp)

Thanks for having a look Bernhard. Yes, I am using the one from the post (elasticSoldFoam) and the tutorial is 'plateHole'.

OK. At first: when I run that tutorial it finishes after one time-step. So there will be on plot of the residuals anyway (you need at least 2 time-steps for that)

The other problem is that this solver has a non-standard format for the time ("Time: 1") and PyFoam therefor can not tell when one time-step starts. The good news is that this is configurable. Check with pyFoamDumpConfiguration.py:

[SolverOutput]
timeregexp: ^(Time =|Iteration:) (.+)$

You can override this by setting in one of the possible locations for configuration files (pyFoamVersion.py tells you about those. Look for "Configuration search path") to (this is untested)

[SolverOutput]
timeregexp: ^(Time =|Iteration:|Time:) (.+)$

Many thanks Bernhard, I will have a look into it!

You're welcome. By "untested" I meant: the feature works. The regular expression I wrote is untested
