Total mass in system as function of time
 

Hello,

I am trying to calculate the total mass of a Eulerian particle phase in a system using ParaView 5.0.1. I manage to calculate this by setting calculator -> from scalar I select alpha.particles and multiply this with the density of the particle phase. After this I select filters -> integrate variables. Now I get the the total mass which is integrated over the whole domain.

My question is, how do I get this data from all of the time steps? I only get one value in the SpreadSheetView and when I save the data from all time steps, the data of each time step is saved to a separate .csv file. I think this can be plotted over time with filter: plot selected over time, but I only get an empty plot. How can the integrated variable be selected for plot over time?

Thank you for your attention,
Simo

Hi sepponen,

Perhaps this thread is what you are looking for.

Regards,

Thank you Thiago, it was helpful.

Another question question on the same subject: When using filter plot over time, how can just one variable be selected from the integral variables table? I can only select the row, which has every variable integrated and the plot over time filter plots every variable (takes a lot of unnecessary time). Seems like a simple thing, but I can't find the answer.

Best regards, Simo
