Request: open a file used by another process
Posted: Tue Jul 18, 2023 8:53 am
Hi.
First thank you, very good software, saving me loads of time already. Excel was so slow and cumbersome, this just works fast and well with minimal set-up.
I am using this in FDS (Fire dynamics simulator) and the simulations can take up to weeks. I was hoping for a software that can look in the outputted CSV file while the simulation is running. So I can see how the simulation is progressing. But Flow will not allow me to open the file that is locked by another process.
Would it be possible to make mode where the software can display a file, but not write to it. And that the refresh option works still, or maybe only when I request it to refresh?
The workaround I have at the moment, is that I go into the folder, quickly ctrl-c and ctrl-v the csv file, then open the copy. But then I have to redo that each time I want to "refresh" the results.
Thank you.
