Bests,

I don't understand what you mean with "gradually extends during iteration".

Just to clarify: the purpose of the frequency-option is "only redo the plot every x seconds" the purpose of this is that otherwise for small runs with a lot of timesteps the plotting becomes more time-consuming than the actual calculation (because the plotting would occur several times a second)

Although the default frequency is 1 and I also use frequency option equal to 1 but it renews for example after 10 time steps (even it seems that plotting processes have stopped). I just want to plot them at each time step; i.e. disable automatic changing of frequency.

Hi all!

I want to extend the pyFoamPlotWatcher so it also plots the phase fraction. I have an inlet in my computation so it would be nice to see that.

As the structure is rather complex i wanted to ask for a hint, where it makes sense to add this function. I have my own (bash)script which gives me this plot, but as a post processing step, and not during runtime. So I think it cant be too difficult to integrate that.

Thanks for any hints!

The phase fraction is a solver-specific output and for such outputs there is the customRegexp-file (see http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Co...Regexp-files): basically you add this file to the case, PyFoam finds it there, looks for the patterns specified in this file and plots the data.

Adding application-specific patterns to PyFoam itself will decrease its overall performance as it will look for that pattern in every line even if the solver doesn't write such a line (and looking for these patterns is currently the bottleneck in the pyFoamWatcher anyway)

Hi Bernhard,

reasonable.. nothing more to say :) thanks for your comment and the hint about the custom regexp

AttributeError

Hi,

after some time of foaming I found some time to investigate pyFoam and I wish it have happened earlier, thank you for it.

However I have a problem which seems to be some quotation mark issue or similar, using the templates from the advanced Gothenburg training:

Code:

rakai@lab1:~/OpenFOAM/rakai-2.0.0/run/pyFoamAdvanced/pyFoamAdvanced.git/testSeparator$ pyFoamFromTemplate.py constant/polyMesh/blockMeshDict "{'preLen':0.2, 'cavitiyWidth':0.15, 'channelHeight':0.1, 'interLen':0.05, 'cavityDepth':0.02, 'dx':0.005}"

Traceback (most recent call last):

    symbols=vals.copy()

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'copy'

I tried several quotation mark types I find on the keyboard but all the time the variables are treated as string, or maybe I am wrong somewhere else.

Any hints? Thank you
Aniko

Problem is that certain shells pass the "" with the argument and others don't.

Best fix I can offer is: go to FromTemplate.py and add the lines with the + (but without the +) after the other two lines:

Code:

             fName=self.parser.getArgs()[0]

             vals=eval(self.parser.getArgs()[1])

+            if type(vals)==str:

+                # fix a problem with certain shells

+                vals=eval(vals)

Otherwise: check whether your version already supports the --values-string-option and use that (along with options for the template files etc). That should work without modification

Problem solved, thank you

Thank you, adding the + lines solved the problem.

The --values-string option I tried but does not work, I am using pyFoam-Version: 0.5.7.

Code:

pyFoamFromTemplate.py: error: no such option: --values-string

OK. Then this is something to come with the next version (along with a new template engine that allows branches and loops)

Btw, can pyfoam be used via ssh if I am using a remote cluster? I installed it on the remote cluster and set the path and using ssh -Y option but there is still error. :(

If it is installed on the cluster: yes ("installed on the cluster": an installation in the users home directory is sufficient if PATH and PYTHONPATH are set correctly). After all it is mainly command-line utilities

pyFoamVersion.py will show that you have no numpy installed. Install it via the package manager of your distribution (usually it is called python-numpy or so)

izna	August 13, 2013 13:26

hi Bernard.. Even on installing all these i get the error that nympypy does nto exist..

I have found a case on the net and i wish to run ./Allrun and view it but try as i might it is not working..

i am sending you the case.

http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Fi...emplate.tar.gz

Apparently this use the pyfoam library..

Kind regard

To check that numpy is not installed try

Code:

python -c "import numpy;print numpy.__version__"

Or check with pyFoamVersion.py

izna	August 16, 2013 13:50

hi Bernard

NUmpy has been installed

Quote:

izna@izna-MS-7592:~$ python -c "import numpy;print numpy.__version__"

But when i run my case i stil get those errors!!!

Greetings to all!

@Izna: Clearly the problem is that gnuplot is not installed:

Code:

If you have Ubuntu/Debian, you can quickly install it by running:

Code:

sudo apt-get install gnuplot
