Change writecontrol from "runTime" to"timesteo" after certain time automatically

manuc · July 26, 2016, 08:54

Hello

I would like to run simulation for rumtime with data saved at bigger time interval and I am using runTime for that.. After certain time I would like to store it at much smaller intervals at each timestep.

Would it be possible to switch from "runtime" to"timesteo" automatically with some if statements in controldict
I want something like:

writecontrol==runTime;
if ( time> 100)
writecontrol=timestep
end

How to do it in OF and is it possible to be done in controldict as the number "100" may vary with cases and its a bad idea to update it in the.C file

take a look here:

the first one seems to be what you want to do
