How trajectory of particles from an Open Foam simulation

Hello everyone!
I'm currently trying to track particle using the solver icoUncoupledKinematicParcelFoam of OpenFoam 7. My simulation runs well but the only positions for the particles that I get are barycentric coordinates. And I didn't find on Internet an easy method to switch barycentric coordinates to cartesian's ones... So I tried to do it using Paraview by using this method: 1) run the simulation 2) type paraFoam on the terminal 3) add the filter extrudeBlocks and chose lagrangian data 4) open a new layout and select spreedsheet view 5) export date into .csv file I was really happy with this method when I figured out there was a problem. Indeed, if, for exemple, in the file time1.csv, at the line 3 there is the coordinate of the particle 3 then in the file time2.csv, at the line 3 it's not the coordinate of the particle 3 anymore but of another one... It's really a problem for me because I need to follow the trajectory of the particles... I was wondering if there is a way in Paraview to print the trajectory of particles? Thanks to all in advance, hope someone know how to do that... |
