It's ok, I think. If p equation gets convergent, you can judge other equations have got convergent early.

Hello, everyone!

I use scripts for plot residuals and coefficients (thank you VERY MUCH).

Residuals are plotting, but coefficients - not. I have only grid of graphics, and a tip, that lift coeff have red color, drag - green.
I look inside file and change it according my solver.

Did I do something wrong? Or how can I get the graphic of force coefficients?

Thanks Wolfgang for the great script,

I was wondering what syntax is needed to plot Residual vs Time in transient case instead of Residual vs Iteration. Does anyone have an Idea?

Regards

With all pyFoam-utilities the option "--help" is your friend. The option you're looking for is callled --hardcopy I believe (just because I write this stuff doesn't mean that I know how to use it ). There are also options to write the data to postprocess it with other programs (going through pyFoamRedoPlot.py even allows you to write CSV-files that you can directly use in a Spreadsheet)

This is quite nice, but is there anyway to import the data from the log file into excel for some nicer looking graphs?

hi! u can create a bash script to create a txt/csv like file so u can import it to excel..

the command "awk" is the best call imo

"This" you mean hardcopy in pyFoamPlotWatcher?

One possible way was described in the next sentence: read the file with the pickled data with pyFoamRedoPlot.py and instead of generating images write CSV-files (CSV is read by almost everyone including Excel)

Other way would be to let the Watcher write files with the --write-files-option and use pyFoamConvertToCSV.py

oops, no I meant using gnuplot however I'll take a look at using pyFoamWatcher. CSV data would be perfect. Thanks!

In the thread tree your posting showed up as a response to one of my postings. And that was all context there was for the "this". Didn't mean to impose PyFoam on you

Ah right, the quick reply function is different here compared to other forums. Usually just adds a comment onto the thread without specifying who you reply to.

Found an easier way, simply copy and paste the log file into excel, split into columns by delimiting (use space and comma). Use an if/else function to select the row of the column that has (for me Uy) then return the row 3 columns to the right or return zero. Filter out the zeros, copy and paste the non-zero data into a new sheet as 'values' and you're sorted.

Well. Whatever you consider easy

Default Problems with plotting by gnuplot, simpleFoam Residuals

Hi foamers,

I have a maybe stupid question about how to plot the residuals of a simpleFoam Simulation.

I'm used to pyFoam but this is no longer an option so I've tried gnuplot and the script provided by W.Heydlauff.
As I understand the script it should plot the Final Residual of the log-file, right? But when I use it now it gives me the Initial Residual of the log-file. How comes?


Here is my gnuplot-script:

Quote:
set logscale y
set title "Residuals"
set ylabel 'Residual'
set xlabel 'Iteration'
plot "< cat Log | grep 'Solving for Ux' | cut -d' ' -f9 | tr -d ','" title 'Ux' with lines,\
"< cat Log | grep 'Solving for Uy' | cut -d' ' -f9 | tr -d ','" title 'Uy' with lines,\
"< cat Log | grep 'Solving for Uz' | cut -d' ' -f9 | tr -d ','" title 'Uz' with lines,\
"< cat Log | grep 'Solving for p' | cut -d' ' -f9 | sed -n 'p;N;N' | tr -d ','" title 'p' with lines
pause 1
reread
The Log-file and my plot are attached.


Thank you in advance.

It should be f13 instead of f9 to plot Final residual.

Sure? I've tried f12, f13 and f14 but these tries just produced error-messages...

Hi Sören,

with your gnuplot-script and the changes described by Tanzil the plot works without errors

Quote:
set logscale y
set title "Residuals"
set ylabel 'Residual'
set xlabel 'Iteration'
plot "< cat Log | grep 'Solving for Ux' | cut -d' ' -f13 | tr -d ','" title 'Ux' with lines,\
"< cat Log | grep 'Solving for Uy' | cut -d' ' -f13 | tr -d ','" title 'Uy' with lines,\
"< cat Log | grep 'Solving for Uz' | cut -d' ' -f13 | tr -d ','" title 'Uz' with lines,\
"< cat Log | grep 'Solving for p' | cut -d' ' -f13 | sed -n 'p;N;N' | tr -d ','" title 'p' with lines
pause 1
reread
regards,
dima

Thanks,

I copied your script - working fine. I guess that I've overlooked something in my script...


Thnaks for the quick help.

hi dear Wolfgang;
it was really useful post, it help me alot.
would you please tell us how can draw pressure coefficient on airfoil using paraview? our multi element airfoil have been solved with openFoam software.
thank you very much
