Hi Foamers
I have a problem with force and force coefficient plotting. I add this to end of cavity tutorial controlDict file forces { type forces; functionObjectLibs ("libforces.so"); //Lib to load patches (fixedWalls); // change to your patch name rhoInf 1.225; //Reference density for fluid CofR (0.25 0 0); //Origin for moment calculations } forceCoeffs { type forceCoeffs; functionObjectLibs ("libforces.so"); patches (fixedWalls); //change to your patch name rhoInf 1.225; CofR (0 0 0); liftDir (0 1 0); dragDir (1 0 0); pitchAxis (0.25 0 0); magUInf 10.0; lRef 1; Aref 1; } and I solved it by icoFoam > log and then when I type " gnuplot forceCoeffs -" I got this message "forceCoeffs", line 10: warning: Skipping unreadable file "./forceCoeffs/0.0005/forceCoeffs.dat" "forceCoeffs", line 10: warning: Skipping unreadable file "./forceCoeffs/0.0005/forceCoeffs.dat" "forceCoeffs", line 10: No data in plot" I think that I did not calculate force and force coefficient correctly.Can any one help me? Thanks Ata |
