Hello,

I have a problem using the sample utility. I want to sample data from a surface and write it to VTK-format and use ParaView for viewing the sampled data. The data is written to postProcessing directory. However the files of different time steps have the same name, but they are written to different time directories. Since there isnt't any index in the file names ParaView isn't able to put the files in the right order. Has anyone solved this kind of problem?

Here is the sampleDict file:

FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    location    "system";
    object      sampleDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

interpolationScheme cellPoint;

setFormat       gnuplot // raw;

sets
(
    midLine
    {
        type    uniform;
        axis    y;
        start   (0 0 0);
        end     (0 1.88 0); // midline of the geometry
        nPoints 100;
    }
);


surfaceFormat vtk;

surfaces
(
        myPlane
         {
          type plane;
          basePoint (0 0.5 0); // a point from the midline
          normalVector (0 1 0); // normal vector that is pointing in the y-direction
          triangulate false;
        }
);

fields          (U.particles p alpha.particles);
