plot residuals for parallel simulation with pimpleDyMFoam

decibelle · May 22, 2017, 11:25

Hello,

I would like to know how to plot residuals for a parallel simulation with pimpleDyMFoam?

I know how to proceed in serie with foamLog but it doesn't work in parallel.

thanks in advance,

Decibelle

Doesn't pyFoamPlotWatcher.py work for that purpose?

I think yes, thanks.
But I can't download PyFoam. there is an other application on OpenFoam?

can't download? I am not sure what you mean by that.

Even if you don't have administrator rights, you can still install pyFoam as user (or) There is this old thread https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/op...residuals.html, have a look into it!

Regards,
Ricky

I don't have the administrator rights and i can't install it as user.
thanks for the link but it doesn't works for my case.

I don't have admin rights either, but I did install it.

Why can't you install it "as user"?

because I work in a company, and just a few people can install software or something else.

I work at an university without root rights to my own machine.
What is the difference?

You can just download the code and compile it yourself. Then you can "install" it in a directory that you do have rights for.

Default installers of software simply try to write to directories that you do not have access to, hence "you cannot install them".

And if you don't want to do that, why not ask those people (ICT?) that do have the right to install the software for you?

I ask at those people since 2 weeks, and I wait, my case isn't priority.

and for your first idea, I will try, it's a good idea, thanks
