Smokeview - Boundary file between meshes

[Er9y714]

When an &OBST spreads across meshes, additional surfaces appear while checking boundary file in smokeview. The additional boundaries appear only in the meshes where &OBST exists.
To reproduce the situation:

Run the fds file
open smv file
load any boundary file
you will see the additional slices between meshes.

smokeview: SMV6.4.4-490-g93f1fac
test.fds.txt

Thank you for your support.

The issue is present in SMV 6.5.0 but not in SMV 6.4.4-46-g1a60197

Thanks for reporting it.
This might be a bug appeared after Glenn fixed the previous one.
Glenn will take a look once he's available.

Thanks, I will take a look at it.

I spotted something similar. When there are two slicefiles (VECTOR=.TRUE.) at the same coordinates,
the components of velocity (u,v,w) are shown separate for different meshes in Multi-slice menu.

Load/Unload
Multi-slices
U-velocity (or v or w)
A.fds.txt
You will see three options, where there should be one.
Smv-6.4.4-46-g1a60197
=================

Is it possible to have a dialog, where we can select and activate any slice file or boundary file by clicking ticks? I believe it would be helpful for activating or looking for specific one, slices could be selected by ticking instead of "right click>load/unload>slices" sequence. Also when there are high number of slices, it does not fit to screen and it takes time to scroll down.

Thank you.

I don't see the problem you are referring too. Install smokeview 6.5.0 and let me know if you see the problem with it.

You can avoid the problem by using only one VECTOR statement per slice plane i.e.

&SLCF QUANTITY='VELOCITY', VECTOR=.TRUE., PBY=2.4/
&SLCF QUANTITY='TEMPERATURE', PBY=2.4/

not

&SLCF QUANTITY='VELOCITY', VECTOR=.TRUE., PBY=2.4/
&SLCF QUANTITY='TEMPERATURE', VECTOR=.TRUE., PBY=2.4/

The U, V, W slice planes generated for 'VELOCITY' can also be used for temperature

Hi, I checked with 6.5.0 and I still see the problem (of boundary file). The second issue with vectors, it works well with 6.5.0.

I did not know that temperature can use velocity vectors.

Thanks for the reply and the info!

Do you see the problem if you only use one VECTOR=.true.?

That vector problem is gone with 6.5.0.

I still have the problem with boundary view. (first post)

[gforney]

should be fixed in smokeview posted here. let me know if you see any problems.

This to confirm, it's been solved under linux.

[Er9y714]

Works great! Thanks for the prompt fix!

[gforney]

Thanks for reporting back

I noticed that every time I run the smokeview (the version you shared), a file is created with a long name that has random letters. What is the function of that?

Bytheway I quote my question once again in case it is missed through convo.
Thank you.

This is a temporary file I used to test whether I could write to a directory . I should have removed it. ( I will). I could create a dialog for selecting files as you suggest but this would not solve the problem of having many files. A dialog of files would be just as long as a menu.

Thanks for the info.

You are right about the size of the menu. I guess it is not direct a solution.

Thanks!
