Dear respected members,
I just want to ask a small question, currently am running a case with interFoam solver, and I set my end time to 40 in system/controlDict, but when the simulation ends it stops at 37, therefore what could be the possible mstake I made, or does it calculates by it self the exact end time?
Thank a lot in advance,
Gerie

Hi,
It is hard to give you a satisfying answer with so little information about your case.
Can you post your controlDict and the end of your interFoam log file?

What I mean is that, look to Pic-1, I set the end time to 40, then when I run the case and did "reconstractPar", I got only till 37 (see Pic-2, I took screen shot), I expected to show me until the last end time (folder40),but it gives me till folder37 as the last one.
Thank again for your help.

Are you sure your simulation did not crash between t=37 and t=38, thus making 37 the last time step to be recorded. Maybe it didn't crash, but you did not state whether the simulation ended without errors or not.

Since you were able to run reconstructPar, it is safe to assume that the simulation did not crash due to a full hard drive. This would cause an IO-error when the solver tries to write time step 38.

I assume it crashed.

You may look at the loh file what happened. If you don't want to store it you should at least print some of the important parameters form the log to the screen (with the help of awk of at least with grep). Simulated time is one of them, time step may be another.
