Hello,
I have a case with many (hundreds) of patches that I would like to report values for (as an area average, for example). What would be the best way to do this? I know I can use a surfaceFieldValue with a regexp for the patches, but it averages all the patches together rather than reporting them independently. Does anyone have any clever ideas? I can't feasibly make a function object for each patch, and I'm trying to build an efficient workflow here for future cases. I can resort to probing values at points, but that causes other issues and won't be as accurate. Last edited by yossarian88; July 15, 2022 at 01:18. Reason: typo |

Hi,
You could use a bash script with the "foamDictionary" command to automatically set the patch names and run the surfaceFieldValue function. Code:
#!/bin/bash # Define list of patches yourListOfPatches=("patch1",..."patch100") # # Loop through patches for i in ${!yourListOfPatches[@]}; do #Set patch name in "surfaceFieldValue" dict (not exact syntax) foamDictionary system/surfaceFieldValue -entry surfaceFieldValue1.name -set "${yourListOfPatches[$i]}" # Run sample dict simpleFoam -postProcess -func sample There is probably an easier way but this should work. |
