Hello,

I would like to plot the residuals from a logfile with gnuplot.
A nice tutorial for that can be found here.
With single region solvers it works nice but not with multiregion solvers.

As an example, here is a timestep of a tutorial case:

Time = 0.0469758

I'm struckling to plot for example Tmax of the heater region.

Any hint is appreciated.

Dear Tony.

Did you find an answer. I now at this positions.
I want to plot the temperature in each Region ( solid & Fluid )
But couldnt find a GNUplot code for including the next line..

Solving for solid region led_oben
DICPCG: Solving for T, Initial residual = 1, Final residual = 0.04405201, No Iterations 2
Min/max T:406.8886 580.7125

Solving for solid region led_unten
DICPCG: Solving for T, Initial residual = 1, Final residual = 0.04022057, No Iterations 2
Min/max T:407.0093 580.5514

Solving for solid region kuehlkoerper
DICPCG: Solving for T, Initial residual = 1, Final residual = 0.01958096, No Iterations 2
Min/max T:300 439.3916

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

it won't work just with gnuplot.
You need an additional script to extract the desired values before running gnuplot.

It should look somehow like this:

grep 'Solving for T:' log.chtMultiRegionFoam >log_new2
awk '(NR+1)%3==0' log_new2 >log_new3

Best Regards,

Toni

Thanks for the reply.. It was very helpful...

I tried the following simple adaptation to the tutorial and it worked nicely. The key is to use grep twice. First you output the number of lines after the line where the keyword is allocated with grep. Then you apply grep as in the tutorial.

So something like
plot "< cat logfile | grep -A2 specificRegion | grep 'Min/max T:' | cut -d' ' -f1 | tr -d ','" title 'T_specificRegion' with lines,\

where -A2 means that grep outputs 2 lines after the searched text (e.g bottomAir). For three lines, use -A3... etc...
