Hello all, I have a question.
I am using OpenFOAM to perform an analysis and visualize the results in paraview.

What I want to do is to create two cases (case1 and case2) with exactly the same model geometry and mesh geometry, but with different conditions regarding temperature, and output the temperature distribution of case1 minus that of case2.

Is it possible to use data from different cases in the paraview calculator?
I would like to know if anyone can tell me how to do this.

Hi,

You can use the python calculator for this task.

Your expression would look like this:

inputs[0].PointData['T'] - inputs[1].PointData['T']

Or use CellData if you prefer.

Where both datasets that you want to work on must be selected as inputs to the filter.

I typically always check the fields themselves to know which is input 0 and which input 1, because that may not always be obvious.

Good luck,
Tom
