[PyFoam] use pyFoamClearCase.py "before a time"

immortality · August 11, 2013, 11:08

Hi
I have a case with several cycles.its now in its 5th cycle and I want to clear the data of second and third cycles and wished to do that with useful pyFoam tools but it seems it isn't provided an option for deleting folders before a time folder specified.is there any way to do this?(there are too many folders to remove manually and better is automatically if possible)
thanks.
options available are:

Code:

--after=AFTER           Only remove timesteps after this time
--processors-remove     Remove the processor directories
--vtk-keep              Keep the VTK directory
--no-pyfoam             Keep the PyFoam-specific directories and logfiles
--keep-last             Keep the data from the last time-step
--keep-regular          Keep all the timesteps
--clear-history         Clear the PyFoamHistory-file
--function-object-data  Clear the PyFoamHistory-file

No. currently the utility does not support this (partly because in those cases where I needed it settin purgeWrite in the controlDict worked better for my purposes)

thanks Bernhard.in my controlDict in 2.2.0 version I have: cycleWrite 0; cycleWrite is the same as purgeWrite?

Don't know. Google it

thanks.it seems that they have used cycleWrite instead of purgeWrite for more clarification I think.it has used in some of tutorial cases but also purgeWrite has used in others.
