OpenFOAM and LIGGGHTS have different time scale in Paraview

Submitted by alonso on Wed, 07/08/2015 - 21:25

Hello, I modified an example from the directory "tutorials", and it works well, but when I visualize the results with paraview, the results obtained with OpenFOAM have an scale time from 0 to 0,4 seg (just as I set in the inputs files), while the results in LIGGGHTS have an scale time from 0 to 40 seg (which is not what I set in the LIGGGHTS inputs). The results are consistent, the computations are made in the correct times, but the VTK's generated by lpp, don`t have the information of time.

The problem is that I can`t visualize the results obtained whit liggghts and OpenFOAM at the same time... I think that paraview shold have an option but I didnt find it.

Please help me.

Best Regards!

Hi Alonso,

in paraview you can use the temporal filter temporalShiftScale to fix this.
Filters->Temporal->temporalShiftScale
and then modify the scale setting (possibly some pre shift needs to be added as well)
