particle positon related to the timestep

Submitted by openfoam on Tue, 12/04/2012 - 13:41

I can get the particle positon through the dump x y z command. But I want to get the plot of a certain particle position related to the timestep. How can I get the plot in the paraview.
The plot grobal varibles over times command is closed to my destination, but there are only three varibles which I can choose, no positon information. what should I do to get it?

Thanks for help anyway

Thanks,
Zhao

Hi Zhao,

you can use the fix print command to plot the position of a tracer particle over time
See doc for fix print for details
