Hello Foamers,

I am trying to get my mesh cell centrer through time (mooving mesh) in post-processing (not using probes).

I searched a lot but didn't find any solution. Anyway, there is a function : writeCellCenters that exist in old versions of openfoam. But in OF6, when I enter writeCellCenters in my terminal, the function isn't recognize. However, this writeCellCenters.C file exists and is supposed to writeCellCenters for a given time.

So I have two questions :

1) How can I use this function ?

2) Do anyone have an idea how to get cellCenter through time ?

    forAll(timeDirs, timeI)
    {
        runTime.setTime(timeDirs[timeI], timeI);

        Info<< "\nTime = " << runTime.timeName() << endl;
        Info << mesh.cellCentres()[cellI]<<endl;
     }

This is just sending me back the same table of every times.


Thanks guys,

Have a good day!

Are you sure you're using the correct spelling of "centre" in your code?

It's apparently writeCellCentres, not writeCellCenters

Try: postProcess -func writeCellCentres
