Hello,

I am using in OF2.3.1 and OF3.0.1 the wallShearStress functionObject, so I get its value in some walls, and is written in the time folders as a field. However, I have noticed that in the same time, a folder wallShearStress appears inside postProcessing, where the min/max values that appears during the simulation log are stored. I don't matter if that value appears in the log, but I don't want this folder and its files to be created. Is there any concrete option to do so?

Thanks in advance,
Agustin

Quick answer: I've only checked in the source code for OpenFOAM 3.0.x and unfortunately there is no option to not write the summary data to the file in "postProcessing".

The only way that I can see for this to work would require you to modify the file "$FOAM_SRC/postProcessing/functionObjects/utilities/wallShearStress/wallShearStress.C" and comment out the following block:
Code:
        if (Pstream::master())
        {
            file() << mesh.time().value()
                << token::TAB << pp.name()
                << token::TAB << minSsp
                << token::TAB << maxSsp
                << endl;
}
And also commenting out the content of the method "writeFileHeader()".

Then build the library again at "$FOAM_SRC/postProcessing/functionObjects/utilities", by running:
Code:
wmake libso
