Hello all, I want to do some post processing stuff in openfoam where I am trying to write a routine in C language that reads a matrix and velocity fields written in openfoam format and what I need to do is just to multiply each velocity vectors of them by an element of the matrix which I read and then sum up all of them and write the result back in openfoam format, I have my velocity files and the matrix all in the 0 folder of the simulation, so could help me in giving directions in how to do that.
Thank you very much.

Hello SaddamH,
I didn't undestand: is your problem related to how compute the operations you listed, or only to how write results in OpenFOAM format?

In the last case, you just need to copy the U file and put the values you find in the correct patch. e.g. if the data are related to inlet, type:

inlet
{
type fixedValue;
value nonUniform list <scalar>
(
*your data*
)
}

I wanted to import velocity files from Openfoam and then do some operations on them and then output them again in OF format
for the first thing, I have found this thread

http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...rocessing.html

in the archive in which it is written some matlab functions to import the fields needed from OF



but for the other way around I tried to make it on my own by writing the values in .txt format, I don't know whether this will work or not since I am interested at the end in visualizing the new fields using paraview

one thing important, I have many files to do this operation in both directions so it is not convenient to do it manually

Can you import your data from paraview using save data comand? It returns a .csv files with the value of all the variables, associated with points or cells.

For the second part, you have to modify the files in your 0 or latest time directory as I said in my first post and it will appear this quantity in paraview

Did anyone find a solution to this?

depending on the opperation you want to perform, you can use the calculator filter in paraview

Thanks, I used the calculator filter in paraview to multiply velocity of a surface cut by the normal of that surface (input manually using iHat, jHat, kHat) - for anyone with this issue in future.
