Hello Foamers,

I am trying to couple OF with another program. As first step, i am trying to convert the vtk files i got from post processing (vorticity) to another .dat format.

For that, I call a awk function.

The input is :

Code:

Something

double

data1 data2 data3

data1 data2 data3

...

polygons

Something

vorticity

vort1 vort2 vort3

vort1 vort2 vort3

end of the file

Expected output :

Code:

data1 data2 data3 vort1 vort2 vort3

data1 data2 data3 vort1 vort2 vort3

I have 2 questions : 1) can i ask openfoam to give me post processed files in another format ?
2) If not, is someone able to help me with the awk program ?
For now, i can only get some values using :

Code:

{if ($3 ~ /double/) 

{start_pos=NR;

print start_pos;}

if ($0 ~ /POLYGON/) 

{end_pos=NR;

print end_pos;}

if ($0 ~ /vorticity/) 

{start_vorticity=NR;

print start_vorticity;}

Thank you for your help,

Have a good day !
