Hi,


I have a slight problem with 'sampleDict'. I used “postProcess –func sampleDict”, to sample ‘U’ and other values from the finished case. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work in OF6. No data is written out. I tried postProcess –func probes. It works, but it is not the same. The data structure is different. I need a data structure similar to the sampleDict one (./postProcessing/sampleDict/time/x_U.xy).



Can you help me, please?




sampleDict:

FoamFile { version 2.0; format ascii; class dictionary; location system; object sample; }
setFormat raw;
interpolationScheme cellPoint;
fields ( U );
libs ("libsampling.so");
type sets;
sets
(
Test
{ type points;
axis xyz;
points (
( 0.0 0.0 0.0 )
( -1.0 0.0 0.0 )
); }
);

probes:

#includeEtc "caseDicts/postProcessing/probes/probes.cfg"

fields (U);
probeLocations
(
(0 0 0)
(-1.0 0 0)
);

Hi Sebastian,

Instead of :

postProcess –func sampleDict

Try running your solver with the -postProcess option:

yourSolverName -postProcess –func sampleDict

Does it solve the problem?

Cheers,

Thank you for the hint, but I have huge simulations. So it would take months to rerun them. It will be a good hint, but not for me, unfortunately. Sometimes I compare multiple cases at different points, so I would have to rerun everything again and again and again. I hope there is another solution.

It will not re-run the simulation, but only compute the "sampleDict" function, exactly like the postProcess utility. Just try and see if it solves the problem.

Sry, I misunderstood you. The process is running, but no data is written to the folder: ./postProcessing. -> Same problem :-(
