Smokeview not grouping slices correctly in Mac OSX version

[ajl42]

Hi, when I use the Mac OSX version of smoke view it doesn't group the slices together ( picture attached ) in the multi slice menu. If I run a script it then only selects one of the mesh slices rather than the full set. In order to obtain the full slice, I have to select each individual slice on the menu. On the linux version I don't find any issues. This occurs in smoke view 5.x.x and 6.x.x on Mac OSX.

Any help would be appreciated, many thanks,

Andy.

I do not think the latest Smokeview has this problem. I use it on OSX. Try latest and if that does not work submit an issue. Thanks.

Hi Randy,

               thanks for answering so quickly it must be my input declaration that causes this.  

I checked my input declaration *.fds file and when I specify the slices I specify the slice for each mesh individually. The Mac version keeps track of this and that’s why I see extra slices in the multiple slice menu. Somehow the Linux version consolidates the slices so I don’t get the same behaviour. If I declare only one slice in my fds declaration then smoke view works correctly on the Mac. Should this be raised as an issue?

Thanks for your help,

Andy.

smokeview groups slices by their location. If it finds two slices of the same type located within some "epsilon" of the same plane then it will group them together into a multi-slice. do you meshes have the same grid resolution - besides user error that is the onluy reason I can think of that would cause slice files in different meshes to be located in different planes. If you have a solution that works and is easier (using only one &SLCF line to specify a slice file) I would stick with that.

Hi Glenn,

              Thanks for your help.  I generally keep the same grid 

resolution for each mesh. I’m happy now I have a solution, it keeps things very simple.

Many thanks,

Andy.

Andy, start an issue and include a simple version of your input file that reproduces the problem. I'll take a quick look to see if there is a problem with the logic in smokeview for creating multi-slices. glenn

Hi Glenn, Please find attached an example fds input file that creates my problem in smoke view. I’ve also attached two pictures of the screenhots showing the multi slice menu in smoke view, one for the Mac version and one for Linux ( Centos ) version. Thanks for the support and taking time to look at this.

Best wishes,

Andy.

Hi Glenn sorry about the missing file,

                Please find attached an example fds input file that creates my problem in smoke view.  I’ve also attached two pictures of the screenhots showing the multi slice menu in smoke view, one for the Mac version and one for Linux ( Centos ) version.  Thanks for the support and taking time to look at this.

Best wishes,

Andy.

you have duplicate &SLCF namelists in your input file. You shouldn't have multiple PBX, PBY, or PBZ keywords specifying the same plane. ie you should have one &SLCF PBY=0.6, &SLCF PBY=0.0 , etc. FDS is outputting a slice file for each &SLCF namelist. This is confusing smokeview. You should see the correct info in the multi-lisce menu after you take out the duplicate &SLCF keywords

[ajl42]

Hi Glenn,

             Thanks, thats the fix and it works now.  

Thanks for your time,

Andy.
