| Summary | 0003451: chtMultiRegionFoam: postProcess functions use global caseDicts function files instead case specific files in local ./system/ | ||||
| Description | For example in the heatedDuct tutorial, to extract vtk surfaces in post-processing step, I copied the global file via "foamGet surfaces" into the system directory. Then, I adapted the settings of the surfaces (name, basePoint. normalVector etc.) so that there is only one surface included (name z_cL, see below). I tried to post-process via: chtMultiRegionFoam -postProcess -latestTime -func surfaces -region metal But only the global surfaces (located in .../etc/caseDicts/postProcessing/visualization/surfaces) are processed, ie. xNormal, yNormal yNormal, p100, CAD. When I rename the local system/surfaces file to system/surfacesTMP, and again: chtMultiRegionFoam -postProcess -latestTime -func surfacesTMP -region metal ... it works as expected, processing only the locally specified surfaces. I don't understand, why the global surfaces file is used in the former case. At least in the case described here, this behaviour is not intended. By the way, the same problem occurs for streamlines functionality as well. PS: the methodology itself works fine for me in case of single region cases (simpleFoam etc.) | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Try any chtMultiRegionFoam tutorial, use foamGet to copy surfaces file... see above. | ||||
| Additional Information | content of system/surfaces tested with heatedDuct tutorial: #includeEtc "caseDicts/postProcessing/visualization/surfaces.cfg" fields (T); surfaces ( z_cL { $cuttingPlane; pointAndNormalDict { basePoint (0 0 0.1); // Overrides default basePoint (0 0 0) normalVector (0 0 1); // $z: macro for (0 0 1) } } ); | ||||
