hi
i'm trying to get the pressure along a curved pipe wall. for example if i have 3 points defining the curve (as in blockMeshDict - edge -arc setup) & when i try the simple sampleDict as below i get an error. i've searched around but not found any real help. works fine with straight lines. is there a better way to get pressure, etc along a curved wall for plotting in excel. please help. FoamFile { version 2.0; format ascii; class dictionary; location system; object sampleDict; } // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // setFormat xmgr; surfaceFormat vtk; interpolationScheme cellPoint; fields ( p ); sets ( section_curve1 { type curve; axis distance; points ((-1.0 0.0 0.0) (-0.71 -0.71 0.0) (0.00 1.0 0.0)); } ); surfaces ( ); |

One of the options with the sample utility is to specify a series of points explicitly. This is the 'cloud' option. You can then extract values from each of your solutions at exactly those points using sample.
