runTime.write and making directories

arsimons · April 23, 2019, 11:13

Hi all

I am trying to let a solver make a new folder in the case. However, OpenFOAM does not know mkdir. How should this be done?

Furthermore, I tried to find this in a solver since every solver creates new folders for new time steps. I think that the creation of a new folder either happens with runTime++ or with runTime.write. However, I cannot find the code of runTime.write. I found that runTime is defined in createTimes.H and that it is an object of the Time-class (FOAM::Time), but this class does not contain a function write?

Thanks in advance

Best regards
Arne

yeah, inheritance can be a tricky sometimes ... your are write in that runTime is a Time object (within the Foam namespace) but it doesn't have the mwthod write defined itself. But, if inherits from objectRegistry which in turn inherits from regIOobject (which has a method write() defined), see also this post Can somebody please explain runTimewrite

Hi,

OpenFOAM is quite capable of mkdir - https://cpp.openfoam.org/v6/classFoa...f345e6fbbec954.
