Dear all,

I'm not getting the write out behavior from writeControl and writeInterval when running simpleFoam in parallel (4 cpu) that I was expecting.

I want to write out a time/iteration directory every 100 steps, with some purgeWrite value. Instead, my simulation is writing out every single iteration directory.

Before starting to mess around with the functions sub-dictionaries I have included in my controlDict, I'm seeking help over here.

The controlDict I attach shows 'timeStep' as the condition for writeControl. I have tried other options though, but still getting the same behavior.

Any ideas, please? (the functions sub-directories were copied directly from someone else running similar physics to mine)

Use something in the form of

writeControl    adjustableRunTime;

writeInterval   1;

purgeWrite      0;

Thanks Uwe,

If I set purgeWrite 2; I avoid having the ./processor*/ directories cluttered with iteration steps. My concern is that, if I set writeInterval <number>;, where <number> is any value different than 1, let's say 50, I get the original situation when I got all iteration steps inside the ./processor*/ directories
