Hi, dear colleagues.

Does anybody know is there a possibility to disable OpenFOAM solver output in a specific case? For example, if I run the solver through runApplication, its output is written in "log.<solverName>". Otherwise, it is written to std. But can I disable this output at all or set this output to be written only at writeTime?

hi,
you can edit your controlDict. There are options for the dictionary keyword "writeControl", look here: https://cfd.direct/openfoam/user-guide/v9-controlDict/

Thanks, but unfortunately it does not seem to be my question. WriteControl is just an indicator how to interpret the number given in writeInterval to write out the solution results into time directiories. It is not related to output of the solver to the console.

Hi,


you can simply redirect the output to /dev/null:

whateverFoam > /dev/null

or, if you want to redirect both error and output messages:

whateverFoam > /dev/null 2>&1

Best,
Jan
