Dear Foamers,

I would like to monitor my fieldAverages during runtime using the probes functionality. I have my probes and averages up and running, but the probes won't sample data from the time-averaged fields. There is an instance of both the UMean and TMean field in my 0-directory. Is there any way to get this to work? My controlDict code is as follows:

Code:
functions
{
        probes
        {
                type    probes;
                functionObjectLibs ("libsampling.so");
                enabled true;
                outputControl timeStep;
                outputInterval 1;

                fields
                (
                        U
                        T
                        UMean
                        TMean
                );

                probeLocations
                (
                        ( 0.025 0.025 0.025 )
                        ( 0.002 0.025 0.025 )
                        ( 0.025 0.002 0.025 )
                        ( 0.025 0.025 0.002 )
                );
        }

        fieldAverage1
        {
                type    fieldAverage;
                functionObjectLibs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
                enabled true;
                outputControl outputTime;
                resetOnOutput false;
                resetOnRestart true;


                fields
                (
                        U
                        {
                                mean    on;
                                prime2Mean on;
                                base    time;
                        }

                        T
                        {
                                mean    on;
                                prime2Mean on;
                                base    time;
                        }
                );
        }
}
Also, I would like to monitor local Nusselt numbers during runtime using the same functionality. Any suggestions on how to approach this?

Many thanks in advance!
Luuk
