Description

The processorField function object writes a scalar field whose value is the local processor ID. The output field name is processorID.

Operands

Operand Type Location
input volScalarField $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<inpField>
output file - -
output field volScalarField $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<outField>

Usage

Example of the processorField function object by using functions sub-dictionary in system/controlDict file:

processorField1
{
    // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
    type            processorField;
    libs            (fieldFunctionObjects);

    // Optional (inherited) entries
    region          region0;
    enabled         true;
    log             true;
    timeStart       0;
    timeEnd         1000;
    executeControl  timeStep;
    executeInterval 1;
    writeControl    timeStep;
    writeInterval   1;
}

where the entries mean:

Property Description Type Required Default
type Type name: processorField word yes -
libs Library name: fieldFunctionObjects word yes -

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

Example by using the postProcess utility:

postProcess -func processorField
