How to read field files from the two different time directories
 

Hi,

I want to read field files such as the velocity U and pressure p
from the different two time directories. When I have the following
results,

0/ U, p, U1
100/ U, p
200/ U, p (latest time)

I want to start a calculation that needs the U and p files at time 200
and U1 at time 0 directory. If I set "startFrom latestTime" in the controlDict
file, I can read the U and p files at the 200 directory, but I have no idea
about how to read the U1 file at the 0 directory without copying it to
the 200 directory.

Could you tell me how to do it?

Thanks for any suggestions,
Fumiya

Hi, It's been long since you posted the question. Have you found the solution?
I am facing a similar situation. Let's say, I have 10 time folders. I want to create 10 volume vector fields U1, U2, U3.......U10. from the U in those 10 time folders. Any suggestion how I should proceed ?
