Run python scrpit as functionObject
 

Good afternoon

I would like to know if it is possible to add a python script inside a functionObject, so I can postprocess some files that I have created in a previous functionObject. I am also wondering I could use pyFOAM for it. What I am doing is

1. I extract some slices with the OpenFOAM surfaces (done already)
2. With a python script, I perform an average on each point of the slice (done with python, and what I want to add to my controlDict)

Maybe with pyFOAM i could access to the field data, and then work on it directly.

What do you think? Is is possible?
Thank you in advance,
Agustín

Hi,

fieldValues function object seems to do what you want without Python (see $FOAM_SRC/functionObjects/field/fieldValues/controlDict for example of settings).

There is also systemCall function object, which can execute arbitrary shell code, so you can execute your Python script and post-process extracted slices.
