Detailed Description

Translate OpenFOAM data to EnSight format. An Ensight part is created for cellZones (unzoned cells are "internalMesh") and patches.

Original source file foamToEnsight.C

• Handles volume fields, dimensioned fields, point fields
• Handles mesh topology changes.

Usage

foamToEnsight [OPTION]

Options:

• -ascii

  Write Ensight data in ASCII format instead of "C Binary"

• -fields <fields>

  Specify single or multiple fields to write (all by default) For example,

        -fields T
        -fields '(p T U \"alpha.*\")'

  The quoting is required to avoid shell expansions and to pass the information as a single argument.

• -nearCellValue

  Use zero-gradient cell values on patches

• -nodeValues

  Force interpolation of values to nodes

• -no-boundary

  Suppress output for all boundary patches

• -no-internal

  Suppress output for internal (volume) mesh

• -no-cellZones

  Suppress cellZone handling

• -no-lagrangian

  Suppress writing lagrangian positions and fields.

• -no-mesh

  Suppress writing the geometry. Can be useful for converting partial results for a static geometry.

• -no-point-data

  Suppress conversion of pointFields. No interpolated PointData.

• -noZero

  Exclude the often incomplete initial conditions.

• -index <start>

  Use consecutive indexing for data/######## files with the specified start index. Ignore the time index contained in the uniform/time file.

• -name <subdir>

  Define sub-directory name to use for Ensight data (default: "EnSight")

• -width <n>

  Width of Ensight data subdir (default: 8)

• -cellZones NAME | LIST

  Specify single zone or multiple cell zones (name or regex) to write

• -faceZones NAME | LIST

  Specify single zone or multiple face zones (name or regex) to write

• -patches NAME | LIST

  Specify single patch or multiple patches (name or regex) to write For example,

        -patches top
        -patches '( front \".*back\" )'

• -exclude-patches NAME | LIST

  Exclude single or multiple patches (name or regex) from writing. For example,

        -exclude-patches '( inlet_1 inlet_2 "proc.*" )'
