Cant seem to get Field probe (Reduced diagnostics) running #4502
-
Reduced diagnostics: Cant seem to get a field probe running in a moving window in the Z direction. it dumps only the 0th step with no updates to the data as the simulation runs. As I understand, the files should be updated every 10 steps with the iteration/time[[0]step()/[1]time(s)] column modifying in the data file every time data is dumped. All I get is 0's (since laser does not exist at time step 0) and a linear z, as the field probe setup. The probe is defined within the initial window. And as I understand the probe should move automatically with the v_window. Tried also with WarpX@23.08, 23.05

Hank you for reporting this. What is the physical extend of your simulation in:
and what moving window or boosted frame options do you set? Are there any warnings showing up when you run the simulation? What is the latest version of WarpX you tried, |

Thanks for the reply, sorry I seem to have missed this message since there was no email sent to me after your response. The extents of the simulation are its a moving window with in the z direction without a boosted frame. There are no warnings as the simulation begins. No i have not tried the field probe with 23.12. Is it also possible to have updates to the spack repository as new releases are released? Thanks, |

@Poto45
Your initial field probe in
z=.01
is outside of the simulation [-0.0336 to -0.0076], which is why the particle is removed. WithFP.do_moving_window_FP = 1
if would be outside of the domain forever.Note that we do not yet support field probes that enter a domain at a later time, but that would be a good feature to add: #5153
