Output VTU + ASCII

[hectormartineznavarro]

Hi!

My name is Hector Martinez-Navarro, I am a new postdoc at Blanca's group (did my PhD with her though). I am enjoying very much learning how to use MonoAlg3D, feels very easy and intuitive!

I was wondering how I can set the output options to print results both in VTU format and plain text. Probably it is very easy, but I can't make it happen from the config file. Is there a way to choose several output functions?

Nice meeting you! :)

[save_result] print_rate=20 output_dir=./outputs/dti003_ctrl init_function=init_save_as_vtk_or_vtu end_function=end_save_as_vtk_or_vtu main_function=save_as_vtu save_pvd=true binary=false file_prefix=V

Hi Hector,

Glad you are liking the software.
Right now, it is not possible to save in vtu and ascii at the same time. I can implement it as an option for the save_as_vtk_or_vtu function.
For now, as a workaround, you can use the converter tool to convert between formats. For instance, if you saved the results as vtu you can use the following command to convert them to txt:

./bin/MonoAlg3D_converter -i ./outputs/dti003_ctrl

The converted files will be saved at outputs/dti003_ctrl/converted_files/
As soon as I have implemented the txt functionality I get back to you.

Hope this helps,
Rafael Sachetto
