2.5 Invoking specificPoints.py

After the solution procedure has finished the specificPoints.py script may be used to display the convergence history. The script may also be used to monitor the computation while it is underway.

The script reads the hu_specific_points.dat file. This file contains the solution variables sampled at the monitoring point. The location of the monitoring point is specified in the Inputs/parameters.txt file.

The script is executed from the Outputs directory. The command-line syntax is:

./specificPoints.py

Water elevation at the monitoring point is plotted against simulated time. In order to re-read the file and update the plot press the x key.
