File <time directory>/uniform/time

t.oliveira · December 9, 2016, 11:16

Dear all,

The file <time directory>/uniform/time is written at every output time. From the source code of OpenFOAM 2.4.x, I understand this is done in Foam::Time::writeObject, line timeDict.regIOobject::writeObject(fmt, ver, cmp);

What is this file used for?
Can I choose not to write it without editing TimeIO.C and recompiling the library?
Is there any problem if I remove this line?

Best regards,
Thomas

Thomas,

Did you get any answer to your question? I am seeing the same in OF 2.3.x. I am using the interFoam applcation solver, which I have altered considerably. Before that, this never occured, now it does.

Regards,

Daniel

Daniel,

I didn't get any answer, and I just let this file be written, even though I don't use it as far as I know.

Thomas,

Thanks for the quick answer. I have filed a new post, maybe my problem is related:

writeInterval wrong

If you have an idea, I would be glad to hear from you again. Maybe your issue is related.

Regards,

Daniel
