Thalenberghen is on a distinguished road
Hi,
I'm running some pretty complex case in simpleFoam, which doesn't converge to a steady solution, but stays oscillating. To get reliable forceCoefficients I want to average for 500 time steps, after the simulation is in end-state. I got the field averaging working and get some extra fields called UMean and pMean in my time directories. Now I thought I could simply call these in the pName and UName fields of the forceCoeffs, but apparently this doesn't work:

"Could not find UMean, pMean in database.
De-activating forces."

So how do I do it instead?
