CFD Online Discussion Forums - Change foamLog for Pimple iteration and new variables

Dear Foamers,

I need a little help for my post-processing :

I use a solid solver to compute a rotation. For each time step, pimple loop is called several times. In each loop, the variable I need to plot (Angular velocity) through time is calculated.

I need to extract my angular velocity against time. I just need the last value for each time step.

I already used one of the solutions posted on CFD online that used the grep function. But it gives me all the values of the angular velocity independently of the time step.
Then I though i should use foamLog to do that. But 1) the function is not really good working when pimple do more than 1 iteration (create a new file for each variable at a certain number of iteration). 2) It is complicated for me to add a new variable in the code.

In short, I need a file with 2 colomns :
Time step/Last angular velocity of the time step

For this type of file :

Code:

Do you have any idea how to do this ?
Thanks guys !
