Hi Marcus,


Thank you for reporting this. Apparently there is a bug in this filter (which I will shortly fix).

However, you can also obtain this exact same behaviour by defining IO_CheckSteps = 1  in the parameters section of your .xml file. In your case, this will generate a sequence of files named Cylinder-Base_0.chk, Cylinder-Base_1.chk, ...


Cheers,

Douglas

Subject: [Nektar-users] Modified Cylinder Example: Time Evolution of a Solution
 

I am trying to figure out how to generate a time based output showing snapshots of the evolution of the flow field around a cylinder. In essence, I want Nektar++ to output the values of the entire flow field after each time step. Having read through the User-Guide, I believe that I am able to do this by using

 

<FILTERS>

<FILTER TYPE="Checkpoint">

                        <PARAM NAME="OutputFile">IntermediateFields</PARAM>

                        <PARAM NAME="OutputFrequency">1</PARAM>

            </FILTER>

</FILTERS>

 

Which will output a .chk file after each time step. Based on my OutputFrequency flag, I should get a .chk file after every time step.

 

I am running this using the files from the Cylinder Flow example, and I am modifying Cylinder-Base.xml. However, when I run this, I get a single “Cylinder-Base_0.chk” file as opposed to 10 files.

 

Any support would be greatly appreciated.
