Sampled data in a single file (probes)

Jambne · May 20, 2016, 07:03

Hello to everyone,

I'm using the probe function to sample the pressure in a bunch of points. The problem is that every time that I stop and re-start the simulation OpenFoam creates a new folder with the log file (p) inside, starting from the latest time (e.g. postProcessing->Probes-->0, 0.2, 0.6, etc.).
Is it possible to keep all the sampled data in a single file?

Thank you!

I'd just cat them afterwards.

cat postProcessing/probes/*/p >> p_all.dat

It kinda works but it doesn't attach the files in the correct chronological order. Any suggestion?

Ok my mistake, It works correctly and the order is right!
Thank you so much.
