PROBLEM SOLVED:

I just needed to do

UpdatePipeline(time = finalTime)

Hi all,

This should be a simple task but I can't figure it out!

I have a myrun.foam file that I can open up with paraview. When I open it I can then press the "play" button and there is an animation of whatever field variable was selected changing with the time steps. After the animation is finished I can now for example do 'Plot over line' filter and that will be extracting data from the latest time step. No problem.

However I want to do this with pvpython. I open the case by doing

reader = OpenDataFile('myrun.foam')

The only problem is that this automatically loads the data from the zeroth time step of my simulation, so any data I extract with filters correspond to their initial conditions. How do I manually select which time step I want to look at?

EDIT:

I have tried to do

finalTime =  reader.TimestepValues[-1]
reader.TimestepValues = [finalTime]

but still doesn't seem to work.

Hi

Just try this:

reader = OpenDataFile('myrun.foam')
time =  reader.TimestepValues
reader.UpdatePipeline(max(time))
RenderView1 = GetRenderView()
RenderView1.ViewTime =max(time)
Render()
