In order to get the span-wise distribution of aerodynamic forces on a circular cylinder subjected to vortex induced vibration, I used the following piece of code in my controlDict

       binData
        {
        nBin        30;          // output data into 30 bins
        direction   (0 0 1);     // bin direction
        cumulative  no;
        }

The cylinder is allowed to move in the transverse direction.

With this code, error soon appears when running with pimpleDyMFoam:

#0  Foam::error::printStack(Foam::Ostream&) at ??:?
#1  Foam::sigSegv::sigHandler(int) at ??:?
#2  
 at sigaction.c:?
#3  Foam::forces::calcForcesMoment() at ??:?
#4  Foam::forces::write() at ??:?
#5  Foam::OutputFilterFunctionObject<Foam::forces>::execute(bool) at ??:?
#6  Foam::functionObjectList::execute(bool) at ??:?
#7  Foam::Time::run() const at ??:?
#8  
 at ??:?
#9  __libc_start_main at ??:?
#10  
 at ??:?

After removal of the binData code, pimpleDyMFoam runs well.

Also in the static cylinder case, for which pimpleFoam is used, the binData function works well.

Does binData function not support dynamicMesh?

Quick question/answer: Which OpenFOAM version are you using? Because there was a bug related to this in 2.3.0... the bug report: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1560

dear Bruno
I'm using OF2.3.0. I will try the later versions. Thanks!

Yes! OF2.4.0 works well for bindata with pimpleDyMFoam!
