Is there a way to get rid of fields at timestep output?
 
Hi,

I am running a huge case with pimpleFoam and am limited by my hard disk. Therefore, I just would like to write out the U an p fields at each time step and skip the others.

Is there a way to do that?

Best regards
Peter

I think this is not so easy. In my opinion this has to be done as a hack in your solver (createFields.H) and in your SGS/RAS Model. Every field you do not need has do be set to NO_WRITE instead of AUTO_WRITE. But you should be carefull some fields might be neccesary for a restart.
