Dear all,

I put the function (below) in controlDict, there is no data files produced in each folder (timestep). It works well in the earlier versions. Did you encounter such problem?

Thanks!
-----------------------------------------------------
left-wheel
{
type surfaces;
functionObjectLibs ( "libsampling.so" );
enabled true;
outputControl timeStep;
outputInterval 2;
surfaceFormat raw;
interpolationScheme cell;
fields
( p );
surfaces
(
left-wheel
{
type patch;
patches (left-wheel);
}
);
}
-----------------------------------------------

1- which solver do you use?
2- create a setup and post here.
3-if you think it is a bug, you can submit it in bug section

hello

Just try to google some alternative lines for the control dict.

Maybe these work better, after putting your information to the right positions?

Code:
wallPressure
      {
        type surfaces;
        functionObjectLibs ("libsampling.so");
        surfaceFormat raw; // vtk;
        outputControl timeStep;
        outputInterval 11;
        interpolationScheme cellPoint;

        fields (p);
      surfaces (BLADE
        {
           type patch;
       patches ("BLADE");
         interpolate true;
         triangulate false;
       } ); }
Iīm also looking for some other versions for this function, because I get the following error messages when I try to use it:

-
Code:
-> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 
More than one patch accessing the same transform but not of the same sign.
patch:SYM1 transform:0 sign:1  current transforms:(1 0 0)

    From function Foam::label Foam::globalIndexAndTransform::addToTransformIndex
(
const label,
const label,
const bool
) const

    in file lnInclude/globalIndexAndTransformI.H at line 240.
But maybe it works for you^^

Best regards
Tobi

Hello Kai

What do you want to do with the surface data?
Maybe you donīt need this function, if you deactivate all patches and just activate the surface-patch in Paraview?

Thatīs what I needed for my plot of cp-values over the surface!

hi, Tobias
Thanks for your reply.
I intended to plot the drag and lift force coefficients along the 3D cylinder with time, so it is best I could use this funciton, or I have to write down the files to disk at a relatively small interval.
Recently I tried this function in another case and it magically worked. Maybe there was something wrong with the last case, but I was unable to figure out where
Anyway this function is running now and I am very happy with this.

Lately I found that this function is ubuntu-version dependent.
My OF version is 2.2.2 and this function works well on ubuntu 12.04 but not on 12.10.
