Probe - [source code]
Sample fields at points on a solved case, post-hoc. With Run it writes a probes function and runs postProcess on the latest time, then reads the results; without Run it reads existing results. Works on a wind case (one sub-result per direction) or a loaded case.
Input
| Name | Nickname | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Case | What to probe: a solved case (wind / loaded / UMF / indoor), or a FluidX3D VTK directory (the VTK Dir output of FluidX3D Run). The component adapts to the input automatically. | |
| Pts | Probe points in model space. Required when Run is true. | |
| Field | Field to sample, from the dropdown of common OpenFOAM fields (U, p, k, epsilon, …). Type or wire any other field name for a custom quantity. For a FluidX3D VTK directory: "rho"/"density" → density, otherwise velocity. | |
| Region | Region to probe; leave empty for single-region (wind) cases. | |
| Name | Name of the probe set. Optional; default is 'probes'. | |
| Run | True: run postProcess to sample the latest time, then read. False: read existing results only. |
Output
| Name | Nickname | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Values | Probe values (numbers or vectors); branch = {sub-result, field, time}, items = one per point. | |
| Times | Sampled time steps; branch = {sub-result, field}. | |
| Subs | Sub-result labels matching the first branch index (e.g. wind direction case names). |
