Hi,
Greeting all!!!
I want to implement "probe" to get temperature variation with change in time in chtMultiRegionFoam tutorial (multiRegionHeater) of OpenFOAM-2.4.
So as per incompressible/pisoFoam/pitzDaily/system/controlDict file i have made following changes.. in my case..

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

fields
(
T
);
probeLocations
(

(0 0 0)

);

}
}

But some how it is showing following kind of error....

Selecting radiationModel opaqueSolid
Selecting absorptionEmissionModel constantAbsorptionEmission
Selecting scatterModel none
Selecting sootModel none
Adding fvOptions

No finite volume options present

Can you kindly specify what should I specify in this control Dict file to use this probe properly??

Thanks & regards,

This should be some mesh issue or something with your probe location. OpenFoam tells your where the problem is:

-> FOAM FATAL ERROR:

request for objectRegistry region0 from objectRegistry probe_check failed
available objects of type objectRegistry are

5
(
rightSolid
bottomWater
heater
topAir
leftSolid
)

You should check if your probe locations is within the specified region and if you have some misspellings in your dictionary.

Greeting all!!!

@fabian...thanks for your reply...

I have cross checks the controlDict file...
1. There is no spelling error as per tutorial case...
2. I have taken different points from polyMesh directory to check it. But same error is coming...

Baran

The code for your probes seems to be outdated (I use OF 2.4.x). Have a look, e.g., at multiphase/interDyMFoam/ras/sloshingTank2D/system/controlDict how probes are used.

[baran_foam]

I am also using openFoam-2.4.
I have taken the command from
tutorial/incompressible/pisoFoam/pitzDaily/system/controlDict
It is also showing the same error... according to your suggestion

Mostly some other issue is there which I am missing...

I checked it and I am able to reproduce your error for the multiRegionHeater tutorial case. However, I do not have a clue at the moment, it seems to be related to the mesh and the various regions. To register the probe OF tries to access region0, which is not present. I think you have to dive into the code to fix this issue.

Best regards

I found your problem. You have to add the region in your probe function, as I have done below:

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

	region heater;

        fields
        (
            p
        );

        probeLocations
        (
            ( 0.0254 0.0253 0 )
            ( 0.0508 0.0253 0 )
            ( 0.0762 0.0253 0 )
            ( 0.1016 0.0253 0 )
            ( 0.127 0.0253 0 )
            ( 0.1524 0.0253 0 )
            ( 0.1778 0.0253 0 )
        );

Greeting all!!
@Fabian thanks a lot for your reply..it works in this way.....
Some observation I have seen as follows...
1. If we enter different region for probe location then it will give some garbage value....but not going to show any error...

But i have another doubt....If we want to probe in two different fields then how to do this using probe??
I am trying in this way... but it is only reading last entry region.that means for this case it only log data for topAir....

    probes 
    {    
        type            probes;
        functionObjectLibs ("libsampling.so");

        outputControl   outputTime;  //timeStep;
        outputInterval  1;

Can anyone have any idea for this...??

Quick answer: You are using the same name for each named block:

probes 
{
...
}

probes 
{
...
}

When you should use different names, for example:

heaterProbes
{
...
}

topAirProbes 
{
...
}

Greeting All!!!
@bruno...thanks a lot for your reply.....

Yea I have done some mistakes here....right now it is working properly...
