keyword sourceName is undefined

Hi All,

I tried using functionObject to calculate flow-rate through a sufrace. But I am getting following error ,

keyword sourceName is undefined in dictionary "/home/manoj/trial/vent/system/controlDict.functions.new_plane"

Code:

functions

{





    new_plane

    {

        type            faceSource;

        functionObjectLibs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");

        enabled         true;

        outputControl   outputTime;

        log             true;

        valueOutput     true;

        source          sampledSurface;



        sampledSurfaceDict

        {

         type        sampledTriSurfaceMesh;

         surface     opening.stl;

         source      cells;  // What to sample: cells (nearest cell)

                                    // insideCells (only triangles inside cell)

                                    // boundaryFaces (nearest boundary face)

         interpolate true;

        }



        operation       areaAverage;



        fields

        (

            U

        );

    }

}

I get the same error, when I use packaged function objects

Code:

functions

{

  #include "volFlowRateSurface"



}

Please help.

Regards,

Manoj

keyword sourceName is undefined in dictionary

Similar error as above for v3.0. Was working fine in 2.4.x
Any help?

Hi,
I had the same error when passing from version 2.3 to 2.4.
You just have to add the line
sourceName MySourceName
in your functions in system/controlDict.
There are some examples in the tutorials.
Best,
Mat
