MFiX DEM monitor write interval

MFiX
6

It is the same.

I see the first iterations (t = 0.0). After, I only get indications when VTPs are written. See attached for examples of what stdout (left) and the LOG (right) files look like.

I have gotten around this a bit by setting

! The following section targets data writes for DEM only cases:
         !IF(.NOT.DES_CONTINUUM_COUPLED) THEN
         IF(.TRUE.) THEN ! PZ 09 16 2025
! Keep track of TIME and number of steps for DEM simulations
            TIME = S_TIME
            NSTEP = NSTEP + 1
! Call the output manager to write RES and SPx data.
            DLB = .TRUE.
            !CALL WRITE_OUTPUTS(.FALSE., .FALSE.)
            CALL WRITE_OUTPUTS(.FALSE., .TRUE.) !PZ 09 16 2025
         ENDIF  ! end if (.not.des_continuum_coupled)

         IF(CALL_USR) CALL USR2_DES

         IF(ADJUST_PARTITION) THEN
            EXIT_LOOP = .TRUE.
            RETURN
         ENDIF

this at least outputs the elapsed time and estimated eta (very much like pure DEM simulations, which makes sense considering the logic).
