Scheduling different cases

DancingButterfly · December 6, 2016, 21:20

hello everybody

I have a question about scheduling. I'd like to solve different cases after each other, meaning that OpenFoam starts solving a new case as soon as the one before ended. From case to case inlet velocity and inlet pressure would vary.

I guess I can program it with the Allrun directory (I am using the interFoam solver (damBreak tutorial)). But I am not sure how. :-(

Has anyone already used the Allrun directory for that purpose? If yes, how did your code look like?

Thank you a lot for your help! :-)

Hi,

Not sure I got your question right but what is wrong with simple (assuming your BS is Torque):

Code:

...
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
yourSolverName -case <case1 folder>
yourSolverName -case  <case2 folder>
...
yourSolverName -case <caseN folder>
...

If you utilise full paths to folders you can put this job-file anywhere, of you can have a folder with all cases like this:

Code:

simulations-folder/
  all-my-simulations.job
  case1/
  case2/
  case3/
  ...
  caseN/

you submit your job-file from simulations-folder folder and utilise relative paths for -case flags.

Thank you very much for answering. This was exactly what I was looking for

I tried it and it worked properly! Thank you!!!!
