Monitoring physical quantities in some point of the domain

federicoghidini · March 4, 2021, 11:16

Hello everyone,
I'm simulating a NACA 0012 in the wake of a cylinder using 2D U-RANS and I would like to know if there is a way to monitor some physical quantities like pressure or mach number in a certain number of points in the domain (or in a portion of the domain).
What I need is a sort of probe put in a point of the domain that records the trend of the mach number or of the pressure in that point with respect to time.
Thank you!

Not yet, so what you can do is periodically write a paraview output file and write a python script (with pvpython for example) to then periodically read the paraview file and extract the information at a monitoring point using Probe Location
