I am currently using Openfoam to run simulations that have nearly 180 time steps. The completed timesteps range from -180 to -6.

I have to generate pictures using paraview. I have to generate picture for every 10th timestep i.e -180,-170,-160 and so on. Is it possible to do this with paraview?

  • Hi Aravind, and welcome to Stack Overflow. Could you show what you've tried so far, and describe to what extent it has worked or failed? – Vince Bowdren Aug 17 '16 at 08:47
  • I tried to run animation in paraview but it is generating pictures for every time step which is a lot of pictures... – Aravind Krishna Aug 17 '16 at 08:51
  • Hi Aravind, and thanks for the update. When you have extra information like this, it's best to edit your question to include the new information - that way, it is easy for any reader to understand everything about your question, without having to also scan through the comments. – Vince Bowdren Aug 17 '16 at 08:56
  • @AravindKrishna, can you just setup OpenFOAM to output data every 10 steps, and only then map animation? – Petr Aug 17 '16 at 09:09
  • @Petr i can do what you said, but i need the values of every timestep to analyse the behaviour. Can i do this in simple animation or i need python script to generate pic for every 10th time step# – Aravind Krishna Aug 17 '16 at 09:21
  • @AravindKrishna, I don't know an easy receipt in Paraview (that's why I don't post an answer), another way that I can suggest is to copy needed timestep directories into a separate directory, make a `.foam` file there and open it in Paraview. Or even not copy, but make symlinks. – Petr Aug 17 '16 at 09:28
  • @Petr Thank you so much ...Will definitely try that – Aravind Krishna Aug 17 '16 at 11:42
