Hi everyone,

A swift reply would be greatly appreciated since my deadline is on Wednesday!

The main reason why the issue exists is because I am using ParaView on remote ssh connection. Because of this I can not do any kind of 1D plot (i.e. velocity vs. time). I am told by the computer administrator that he is sorting it but I am sure it will not be done in time. Therefore I am taking a different approach to do this.

I need to output the value of pressure at the middle of my downstream edge for a 3D cavity flow to plot against time.

I have written the following shell script to extract values from the p files within the saved timesteps:

for f in */p
do
cat $f | awk 'NR==21 {print}' >> p

echo "Processing $f file..."
done

This looks in all the folders within my case directory and searches for the p file; if it finds it, it will write line number 21 to a file called p in my case directory. This works perfectly for what I want to do.

The only problem is I don't know how the list of vectors are ordered in the U, p, k, nuSgs, etc... files.

Does anyone know how the vectors are organised??

Cheers,

Tian
