Hi, i modified pitzdaily from pimpleFoam tutorial, to adjust it to my case, which is flow into a box with spherical fruits, when i run pimpleFoam it doesn´t write data every writeInterval no matter what value i use.

I don't have OF9 installed so I couldn't run it. But double check if the syntax is the same from where you copied the case.

I'd try running without the functions and see if it lacks some output control that could be superimposing the main control

Also, try running with "runTime" instead of adjustableRunTime to see if you can write that way. I didn't find any particular error in the log file. Maybe some permissions issue on your Windows?

Symtax is fine as far as i know. I will test without the functions later.
clockTime and runTime works, i use linux on a virtual machine, I don't think permission is a problem.

[JulioPieri]

That's weird, then it's something specifically related to the adjustableRunTime. double check your fvSolution file. Also, you could roll your case back to the tutorial and add new stuff step by step to see where it stops working.

[daylen]

ok, i will follow your instructions later, then i will post here

I rolled back the case back to simpleFoam modified from windaroundbuildings, when i modify controlDict, fvsolution, and fvschemes to pimpleFoam, then i have the current case, which doesn´t write every writeInterval. I tried running without the functions but it has no impact in the results. I see nothing wrong in fvsolution file.

Since I use OF.com here, I won't be able to test your case. Hope someone else can help you
