For postprocessing: is it possible for us only export vtk files with specified steps

xue

Hi all,

My outputs are too big to storage them, for this reason, is it possible for us just export vtk files with specified steps?

Best,

Xue

Hi,

I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for but you can increase the TimeOut value in the parameters section of your xml and you will have less vtk files created.

You can change frequency if needed.

You can also save the files as vtk if you want.

Check "DualSPHysics5.0_Help.out" in DualSPHysics_v5.0\doc\help

IN addition you can save some intervals with more frequency than others:

    <special>

      <timeout>

        <tout time="0.05" timeout="0.01" /> % First output at t=0.05s. Next, output files are stored at 0.01s.

        <tout time="0.1" timeout="0.07" />  % Since t=0.1s, output files are stored at 0.07s.

        <tout time="0.2" timeout="0.001" /> % Since t=0.2s, output files are stored at 0.001s.

        <tout time="0.3" timeout="0.01" />  % Since t=0.3s, output files are stored at 0.01s.

      </timeout>

    </special>

Example can be found in DualSPHysics_v5.0\examples\others\TimeOut
