Hello everyone,

I would like to use PyFoam with my own adopted solver, especially pyFoamPlotWatcher.py.

The run of my solver put in run.log goes well and looks as follows for the beginning (first 3 steps):

Code:

no matter, whether the code still runs or not. It is quite obvious that PyFoam has a problem with the "SUBCYCLE" line what is surprising for me as foamLog does not have it, for example.

Can anyone help me with a work around? I would love to see the residuals of the SUBCYCLE as well, and I can change that line to a different pattern, if necessary. Or would costumRegexp help?

Thank you very much in advance

OK. What throws PyFoam off the wagon is the SUB at the end of the T-solver. It tries to treat it as part of a floating point number. I'm just surprised that it didn't throw an error for you. Try replacing the relevant line in PyFoam/LogAnalysis/LinearSolverLineAnalyzer.py with
Code:
linearRegExp="^(.+):  Solving for (.+), Initial residual = (.+), Final residual = (.+), No Iterations ([0-9]+).*$"
I put that change into my development version and it will be in the next release.

The SUBCYCLE is not found because your output has one space more before "Solving" than usual and regular expressions are a bit picky there. You could make it more tolerant with
Code:
linearRegExp="^(.+): +Solving for (.+), Initial residual = (.+), Final residual = (.+), No Iterations ([0-9]+).*$"
but I'm not sure whether I want to be that tolerant

Dear Mr. Gschaider,
Thank you very much for the reply.
I deleted the additional space before "Solving for fl" and changed the LinearSolverLineAnalyzer.py as you said.
It works perfectly.
