Hi All,

I'm working on topology optimization with openFOAM, but need to adjust my final design with a custom script. I'm looking to adjust a volScalarField after my simulation is done.

1. runTopologySimulation -> latest time step yields intermediate design (volScalarField)
2. runCustomScript() -> adjusts intermediate design by changing values of the volScalarField

It seems the postprocessing utillity is something I'm looking for and then write my own functionObject to adjust this field based on my script. I could be using something like mag() functionObject as a basis, which takes a field, and generates a resulting field.

But.. does this need to be compiled or how do I link it to the postprocess utility?
