OpenFOAM v2006 supress writing of uniform folder within time folder

t.teschner · August 21, 2020, 17:47

I am developing a customised solver and want to suppress the writing of the uniform/ folder within the time directories (which seems to be new since v2006?!). Simply turning off the runTime.write(); command won't help here, that only suppresses the writing of the flow variables. In essence, I don't want to write anything during the calculation, as I take care of that in a different way elsewhere.

Hi,

- I know it will be an incorrect answer, but I will give a shot: Just increase the controlDict writeTime's time/iteration settings beyond the end time of your simulation?

No, I still want to iterate normally through the timesteps, I just don't want to output the solution

well, it wasn't so hard to track it down in the end through some debugging, the runTime.run(); function is writing these additional outputs, so I just changed the while() statement to get the desired effect. Just in case someone stumbles upon this thread I leave my answer here.

But the simulation runs through timesteps no matter the interim solutions are written out or not.

Anyways, if you have solved the issue, good.

Yes, I wasn't saying your solution is wrong, just not what I was looking for

Thanks for your comments either way
