Hello,


I am probing line data in openfoam, and use the following code within the controlDict file.

Code:
probeLineData  
  {
    type sets;
    enabled true;
    verbose true;
    interpolationScheme cellPoint;
    outputControl timeStep;
    outputInterval 1;
    setFormat raw;
    fields (U); // the fields
    sets
    (
      X1 // line name
        type uniform;
        axis y;
        start           (-1 -1 0);
        end             (-1 1 0);
        nPoints         50;
      }
    );
}
When I use this, each line data probed are written into a different time directory within postProcessing folder. However, I would like the line data to be written into a single file so that I can easily post-process the time history of the line data.


Does anyone know a way to do this? or Can you suggest me any solution?



Cheers,
Cyln

Hi!


Honestly I don't know if you can do that, maybe you can. But if you use "setFormat gnupot;", then you can plot the different time levels in the same figure easily.

You can use singleGraph function. Include this line in your controlDict:
Code:
functions 
{ 
    #includeFunc  singleGraph
}
Then use this command to copy the dictionary to your system:
Code:
cp $FOAM_ETC/caseDicts/postProcessing/graphs/singleGraph system
Just modify the dictionary based on your specifications.
