Dear All,

In my case, I need to reconstruct the data in the folders for different processors. I found that "reconstructPar" is so slow. I have 9-million cells and use 80 processors. For each time step, it needs over 5 mins to even get one quantity. Does this also occur in your cases? Any methods to speed up this process?

Thank you very much !

Can any OpenFOAMers tell me whether, reconstructPar was modified to increase the speed at which it processes the data after the parallel run, or do we still have to run the above script to speed up the process? I am reconstructing a parallel case with over 300,000 cells and it is taking me over 5 hours to do the reconstruction for 40 seconds of simulation time.

Thankyou
Musa

AFAIK, it has not changed. At least not up and including to OpenFOAM 2.3.x.

AFAIK, yes.

Hi All,

I usually just do this with a bash one-liner:

$ foamListTimes  -processor > log.foamTimes; awk 'NR%4==1' log.foamTimes | parallel --halt=0 -j8 reconstructPar -newTimes -time {}:
