Dear all,

I have no problem running my simulations,
I'm trying to superimposition 10 waves to create a freak wave using phase focussing method.

The phases I'm using for the 10 waves ranges from -5.62 to -71.15

However while doing post-processing, I found out that the wave's phase shift are all auto adjusted to a value lower than 2*pi,

Which means, the input phase lag of -71.15 radians, ended up having a phase shift of only -2.04 radians (-22*pi) , and having the waves generated earlier at -2.04radians, instead of -71.15 radians

Is there anyway I can input a phase lag of more than 2*pi?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi Chia,
I hope you have fixed your problem. Would you mind explaining to me how did you use combinedWaves in waves2foam?

Any support is highly appreciated.
Ahmed
