Hi All

I wanted to share a script I created which graphs OpenFOAM convergence residuals from a text file output from the command line. e.g (on windows) simpleFoam > log_01.txt.

The program outputs (Ux, Uy, Uz, p, k, omega and epsilon) and graphs them against time using matplotlib.

to use place in same directory as solver log file, run with python cmd and input log file name.

I would recommend downloading the python 3.4 version of Anaconda3 to use it.

I am by no means a programmer and I am a user of the excellent windows port of OpenFOAM by BlueCape (also runs fine on linux using the command "python ConGrapher.py"). So if there are any issues please leave a message and I can have a look at it.

It is available here:

https://github.com/bsmeaton/ConGrapher.git

Kind regards

Ben

Ben, thank you for the excellent python script!

thegauravonline, you would need to install python and then execute the script

Since the creation of this script, numpy no longer accepts the 'skip_rows' option as an arguement.

I have therefore modified the script to execute using the latest version of numpy. See Attached. I had to add the '.txt' at the end, please remove the extension before executing in python
