This is a shell script to merge separated force coefficient data genearted by OpenFOAM (v4.1).
OpenFOAM (v4.1) separates the force coefficient data when the simulations restart. If you have many time folders in your postProcessing/forceCoeffs
folder, this script will perhaps save your time.
This is the file structure before you execute this script:
forces
├── 0
│ ├── forceCoeffs_bins.dat
│ └── forceCoeffs.dat
├── 136.17
│ ├── forceCoeffs_bins.dat
│ └── forceCoeffs.dat
├── 45
│ ├── forceCoeffs_bins.dat
│ └── forceCoeffs.dat
├── 90
│ ├── forceCoeffs_bins.dat
│ └── forceCoeffs.dat
└── mergeData
Then, type sh ./mergeData
in the forces folder. Two merged data will be genearted.
