Bests,

I don't understand what you mean with "gradually extends during iteration".

Just to clarify: the purpose of the frequency-option is "only redo the plot every x seconds" the purpose of this is that otherwise for small runs with a lot of timesteps the plotting becomes more time-consuming than the actual calculation (because the plotting would occur several times a second)

I meant that the time intervals between renewing plots gradually increases during iteration with a notification in terminal. Although the default frequency is 1 and I also use frequency option equal to 1 but it renews for example after 10 time steps (even it seems that plotting processes have stopped). I just want to plot them at each time step; i.e. disable automatic changing of frequency.

Hi all!

I want to extend the pyFoamPlotWatcher so it also plots the phase fraction. I have an inlet in my computation so it would be nice to see that.

As the structure is rather complex i wanted to ask for a hint, where it makes sense to add this function. I have my own (bash)script which gives me this plot, but as a post processing step, and not during runtime. So I think it cant be too difficult to integrate that.

Thanks for any hints!

As much as I welcome contributions to PyFoam I would discourage that (adding it to the code). The phase fraction is a solver-specific output and for such outputs there is the customRegexp-file (see http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Co...Regexp-files): basically you add this file to the case, PyFoam finds it there, looks for the patterns specified in this file and plots the data.

Adding application-specific patterns to PyFoam itself will decrease its overall performance as it will look for that pattern in every line even if the solver doesn't write such a line (and looking for these patterns is currently the bottleneck in the pyFoamWatcher anyway)

Hi Bernhard,

reasonable.. nothing more to say thanks for your comment and the hint about the custom regexp

Hi,

after some time of foaming I found some time to investigate pyFoam and I wish it have happened earlier, thank you for it.

However I have a problem which seems to be some quotation mark issue or similar, using the templates from the advanced Gothenburg training:

rakai@lab1:~/OpenFOAM/rakai-2.0.0/run/pyFoamAdvanced/pyFoamAdvanced.git/testSeparator$ pyFoamFromTemplate.py constant/polyMesh/blockMeshDict "{'preLen':0.2, 'cavitiyWidth':0.15, 'channelHeight':0.1, 'interLen':0.05, 'cavityDepth':0.02, 'dx':0.005}"

I tried several quotation mark types I find on the keyboard but all the time the variables are treated as string, or maybe I am wrong somewhere else.

Any hints? Thank you

Problem is that certain shells pass the "" with the argument and others don't.

Best fix I can offer is: go to FromTemplate.py and add the lines with the + (but without the +) after the other two lines:

             fName=self.parser.getArgs()[0]
             vals=eval(self.parser.getArgs()[1])
+            if type(vals)==str:
+                # fix a problem with certain shells
+                vals=eval(vals)

Otherwise: check whether your version already supports the --values-string-option and use that (along with options for the template files etc). That should work without modification

[ancsa]

Thank you, adding the + lines solved the problem.

The --values-string option I tried but does not work, I am using pyFoam-Version: 0.5.7.

pyFoamFromTemplate.py: error: no such option: --values-string

OK. Then this is something to come with the next version (along with a new template engine that allows branches and loops)

[lakeat]

Btw, can pyfoam be used via ssh if I am using a remote cluster? I installed it on the remote cluster and set the path and using ssh -Y option but there is still error.

If it is installed on the cluster: yes ("installed on the cluster": an installation in the users home directory is sufficient if PATH and PYTHONPATH are set correctly). After all it is mainly command-line utilities

pyFoamVersion.py will show that you have no numpy installed. Install it via the package manager of your distribution (usually it is called python-numpy or so)

[izna]

hi Bernard.. Even on installing all these i get the error that nympypy does nto exist..

I have found a case on the net and i wish to run ./Allrun and view it but try as i might it is not working..

i am sending you the case.

http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Fi...emplate.tar.gz


Apparently this use the pyfoam library..

Kind regard

PyFoam wouldn't try to import numpypy if numpy was installed.

To check that numpy is not installed try

python -c "import numpy;print numpy.__version__"

Or check with pyFoamVersion.py

hi Bernard

NUmpy has been installed

izna@izna-MS-7592:~$ python -c "import numpy;print numpy.__version__"

But when i run my case i stil get those errors!!!

hi again bernard

By the way i am running this case which i found from the internet...

[izna]

attached is the case..If you wish to check it out..

[wyldckat]

Greetings to all!

@Izna: Clearly the problem is that gnuplot is not installed:

sh: 1: gnuplot: not found

If you have Ubuntu/Debian, you can quickly install it by running:

sudo apt-get install gnuplot

Best regards,
Bruno
