Hi!

I'm trying to figure out how to visualize the results from OpenFoam while the simulation is still running. I'm using OF 1.7.1 and ParaView 3.8. Perhaps post-processing is not the best term here as what I'd like to see is actually something done simultaneously.
I'd like to see the results for example as contour plots or vector fields or as a plot of a single variable (depends on a case).
I read in OpenFOAM release notes for version 1.7.0 that "Post-processing has been extended particularly to function objects, the on-the-fly post-processing system."
I'd be very glad if somebody can point in which direction I should take a look.

Btw, I've come across a term "in-situ visualization". As I understood, the point is to dump redundant data and keep only visualization results. Am I correct about this or it's the same thing as on-the-fly visualization?

Best regards!
