Hello community,
I am pretty new to using OpenFoam so this might be obvious to some of you but I could not find another thread about this.


Right now, my outputs are written every nth timestep into a gridfile format (".asc"). But my issue is, that the first initial time step (0 for me) is ignored when writting the output and not written into the same format. I would want all of the timesteps outputs to have the same format for consistency purposes.



The log for the writing is as follows:


gridfileWrite gridfileWrite write:
automatically writing areaVectorField Us
ignoring old areaVectorField Us_0
automatically writing areaScalarField h
ignoring old areaScalarField h_0
automatically writing areaScalarField hentrain
ignoring old areaScalarField hentrain_0
automatically writing areaScalarField pb
automatically writing areaVectorField tau


I understand that pb and tau do not have an intial state since they are computed fields but is it possible to get Us_0.asc as an output for example? What do I have to change to get this? Am I missing some obvious knowledge? Is it a prameter in the dicts that I have to change? Does it have to do with the lib that i am using in gridfileWrite?



The gridfileWrite is as follows:


// Use gridfileWrite function object

gridfileWrite
{
type gridfileWrite;
libs (faAvalanche);

fields (".*");

secondOrder on;

writeOption autoWrite;
//writeOption noWrite;
//writeOption anyWrite;

ncols 426;
nrows 258;
//xllcorner -5803; //-5000
//yllcorner 219917; //-220000
xllcorner -803;
yllcorner -83;
dx 10;
dy 10;

postfix ".asc";

//offset is interpreted such that the same signs than in gridToSTLDict can be used
offset (100.0100.00);
}

And the controlDict is as follows:


FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
classdictionary;
object controlDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

application myApplication;

startFrom startTime;

startTime 0;

stopAt endTime;

endTime 30;

deltaT 0.1;

writeControl adjustableRunTime;

writeInterval 1;

purgeWrite 0;

writeFormat ascii;

writePrecision 6;

writeCompression off;

timeFormat general;

timePrecision 6;

runTimeModifiable yes;

adjustTimeStep yes;

initDeltaT yes;

maxCo 1.0;

functions
{


#include"gridfileWrite"

}




I would really appreciate your help,
greetings,
L.
