reconstruct certain time steps
 

Hi

I have the time directories as 0, 0.001, 0.002 .... 0.499, 0.5 in the processors.

I want to reconstruct only 0, 0.05, 0.10, ... 0.40, 0.45, 0.50

I know one could individually generate these time directories, but is there a single statement that I could use to reconstruct at intervals of 0.05 instead of 0.001?

Thanks,

There is no simple way to do this. The -times option can handle ranges, but doesn't handle step sizes (which can be a bit messy/fuzzy for non-integer values).
If you don't mind a small workaround:
Use a small Perl/Python/whatever program to generate the required list for you and then use it. For example,
where 'myTimes' would emit the required times list
This might even prove more flexible for you than anything else that could be added to OpenFOAM.

Thanks so much, Mark!

This looks quite convenient too.

It doesn't have to be a time range. You can do it with this command:

floating point loop command
 

I've solved this problem using a loop command in linux terminal as below.
The range from 36 to 38, with time interval 0.05.

Without using an explicit for loop, try:
