Elmer Discussion Forum

Hi all!
Some time ago, I wrote a python script, which helped me a lot. I think that it could be useful for some of you. It works like a saving line procedure, but you don't have to
recalculate your problem if you want to have other results. I have created project at sourceforge

https://sourceforge.net/projects/elmerresultsrea/files/

To use this script you have to install:
1. python
2. numpy
The best way is to copy this program to some system path (/home/user/bin) or c:\windows\command

and use it in xterm or windows command prompt


Options that program understands (to see this just start the program)
'x=' <cordinate_x>
'y=' <cordinate_y>
'z=' <cordinate_z>
'rnd=' tolerance in searching coordinates
'how_many_times' - check and leave
'times=' to choose times in file, from which you want results, place your times between braces e.g.: [n,m,z]
'time_graph' - to show result for one point vs time, need only one point
'results' - to check and show what results are in the file
'result='<which> - to show chosen result from file, give number (result=0)
'file=' - where I should write results

This script may be used for:
1. reading one point in chosen times, for example:

Elmer_ep.py room5t11f.ep x=0.19 y=0.51 rnd=2 time=[10,20,110] file=a result=0

2. reading one point for all times, for example:

Elmer_ep.py room5t11f.ep x=0.19 y=0.51 rnd=2 time_graph file=a result=0

3. reading all points which have given coordinate (in below example x=0.19, so every point which have x=0.19 will be written) for one time

Elmer_ep.py room5t11f.ep x=0.19 rnd=2 notime time=[100] file=a result=0


Example of using:


We want to save velocity x and in result.ep we could write in xterm or windows dos:

Elmer_ep.py result.ep results

*------------------------------------------------------*
Result 0 -> Partition
Result 1 -> Temperature
Result 2 x -> Velocity
Result 3 y -> Velocity
Result 4 z -> Velocity
Result 5 -> Pressure
*------------------------------------------------------*



We want Temperature for one point which is somewhere in x=0.2 y=0.5

To choose exactly one point we write in xterm or windows dos:

Elmer_ep.py result.ep x=0.2 y=0.5 rnd=1

(options rnd=1 means that we are searching every points, with x coordinate that could be round to 0.2 (for example 0.19, 0.23)

we get:

*------------------------------------------------------*
['/home/daniel/bin/Elmer_ep.py', 'room6t1_2.ep', 'x=0.2', 'y=0.5', 'rnd=1']
I am searching coordinates with x = 0.2

I am searching coordinates with y = 0.5

Setup tolerance for search coordinates 1

I am searching for point = [0.20000000000000001, 0.5]
I am going to save 9 point
press any key
*------------------------------------------------------*

So we are interested with point x=0.1577 y=0.5197 and temperature for all times

Elmer_ep.py result.ep x=0.16 y=0.52 rnd=2 result=1 time_graph file=out

But one could also want result for only time=10,20,30

So we execute:

Elmer_ep.py result.ep x=0.16 y=0.52 rnd=2 result=1 time=[10,20,30] file=out

Thanx Daniel for contributing. I hope many users will find your script useful. Its indeed sometimes painful to make the simulations again just for getting some postprocessing data.

Hi all

In 0.12 version I have added next script, which counts iterations for all timesteps in file taken as a output from
ElmerSolver.
To have this log file you have to run ElmerSolver with command:
ElmerSolver > log_file

and then:

Elmer_iteration_reader.py in=log_file out=file_with_iterations

Basically it was to help Koske viewtopic.php?f=3&t=304, but I have found this script very helpful.
It shows if in any of time step iterations reached maximum value, which could mean that convergance tolerance wasn't achieved.

Ok Regards

Hi all
I have found some errors. New version 0.16 was upload.
