This was my next question!

I'd try

pressureForce[0]

or

pressureForce.x

because this is very much how science is done

"What happens if..."

It says here: https://doc.openfoam.com/2312/fundamentals/input-types/expression-syntax/

alpha.x

In the simpleCar tutorials they do this with residuals

condition1
            {
                type            equationInitialResidual;
                fields          (U.component(0));
                value           1e-02;
                mode            minimum;
            }

So I had hope for ``pressureForce.component(0)`` but it doesn't seem to work

nope, no luck with ``pressureForce.x`` or ``pressureForce.x()``

Some workaround idea: use the ``components`` FO to decompose the ``force`` field into ``forcex``, ``forcey`` and ``forcez`` but for some reason I get these fields but fail to use them in my runtimeControl condition

what a mess

yup

dunno but maybe like

pressureForce & vector(1,0,0)

?

Anyone applied the age FO for transient case? Looks like transient is not supported..?

Tbh I've just coded my own in the past rather than use the FO

Easy enough to add scalar transport and then an fvOptions source that injects 1 unit per second

Might you have some code in your treasure chest to share? 😇

ran a case which unfortunately crashed, so I restarted it from a save point. It no longer has all the postprocessing function files that I need, and it seems to have not saved any after that point, while the sim moved on! and no i didnt run it without omitting any functions or something

ughhh this is so frustrating, going to have to restart this all over again, one week down the drain :(

it always played nice before, no idea why it didnt now :(

Does the log say something about restarting function object? There are generally a few lines in the first time step

nope nothing

ugh so frustrating

i was also procrastinating to the very end since i thought i could do it in one full sweep and now i have this ughhhhhhhh

Are you sure it's not in another folder inside the ``postProcessing`` directory? After a restart I think the function objects will create a new file in a time directory corresponding to your restart time

yeah im aware of, this, it created the new folder and populated upto like a couple of seconds and thats it, its like it gave up halfway

did your disk get full?

nope

had a 100gb left

its abnormal

Sometimes I do black magic , I just copy system/* from different case, hoping it magically cleans up the issues and it works many times 😅

Fuck once I had a random non visible character in a dict it was fully fucking my case I could never troubleshoot it. I simple re do exactly the same
