Hi Ehsan,

I'm too tired today, but I'll see if tomorrow or on the weekend, I can have a look into this.

By the way, have you checked this page: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ex...unctionObjects - there you'll find a link to this post: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post432292 post #4
I haven't tested it yet, but perhaps the modified version reported on that post can help you.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno
maybe its because I have defined functions in a separated file(by:

functions
{
#include "WR_Output"
#include "WR_excess_Output"
}

as controlDict I sent?

-dict FILE
Read control dictionary from specified location. Note: but it will still use the main system/controlDict for the base runtime options, except the function objects.

may this option be related? in place of FILE I have to type WR_Output?

Hi Ehsan,

If that was a problem, the function objects wouldn't even have loaded.
Have you tried the utility from that other thread?

Best regards,
Bruno

I sent a test case see please if is appropriate.thanks.

Hi Ehsan,

OK, I've got good news and bad news:

• Good news is that I figured out what the problem is... actually, what the several problems are.
• The bad news is that to solve these problem, it's basically easier to simply build OpenFOAM 2.2.x.
  The reason for this is that there have been too many bug fixes to the function objects section in OpenFOAM 2.2 since 2.2.0 was released, that it's rather complicated to sort out only the fixes that apply to the function objects you need.

So, the way I see it, there are a few possibilities:

1. Simply run the case in question all over again. This way you will be certain that the results are those you had calculated.
2. Or I could try to create a cloned version of these function objects libraries for a user-side build, using non-conflicting binary names. The problem here is that this does not guarantee a successful result, since there might be more necessary fixes outside of these function objects, namely on the core code of OpenFOAM 2.2.
3. Or you would have to do a separate build of OpenFOAM 2.2.x, only so that you could re-do the post-processing of this case. In this case, you would can keep your existing OpenFOAM 2.2.0 installation, but it would take you about 2h to download and build the whole OpenFOAM 2.2.x toolbox... or perhaps only 1h30 if you only build all of the libraries in the "src" folder and only the execFlowFunctionObjects utility, while using the system's Open-MPI. you would also have to build swak4Foam 0.2.4, including the patch I mentioned here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post434217 post #8

From my point of view, since you would very likely want/need my help with either points #2 or #3, I would prefer if you choose #1 .

Best regards,
Bruno

hi Bruno and thanks,
I choose 3 and maybe 1 too! Because I'm curious to see the new version of OF and its changes! And will use the patch for SWAK also.
I use now 2.2.0 do you mean 2.2.1 version?
Thanks a lot for notice about new version 2.2.1.

Hi Ehsan,

No, I mean OpenFOAM 2.2.x: http://www.openfoam.org/download/git.php
But instead of using the Github repository, use the mirror: http://repo.or.cz/w/OpenFOAM-2.2.x.git - the download should be about 50MB.
If you want a smaller download, use the latest tarball: http://repo.or.cz/w/OpenFOAM-2.2.x.g...ot/HEAD.tar.gz - it's 31.2 MB. The only problem with this is that you won't be able to easily update later on.

As for saving space... this solution will require roughly 1 to 2GB of disk space, at least for building it.

Best regards,
Bruno

dear Bruno,whats difference between 2.2.x and 2.2.1? and what means 2.2.x at all?
1 to 2 Gigabyte?! then I prefer to do first choice!

I'll quote from the website: http://www.openfoam.org/download/git.php

This page describes how to download and compile the very latest source code of OpenFOAM that includes fixes for all submitted bugs. Installing OpenFOAM by compiling source code requires some experience in administration on the Linux operating system, so is not recommended for all. The simpler approach is to install one of the pre-packaged installations.

yes Bruno I had read that lines,what I understood is that 2.2.x isn't published officially but has bugs in 2.2.0 or 2.2.1(newest version that is distributed) been fixed? but it isn't distributed yet. right?

Well... you're half-right and half-wrong. I've given a detailed explanation about this here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...ug_fix_version - I wrote that in May of this year...
