hi, im working on a project with foam-extend to simiulate a ship as immersed boundary and solved it with interIbFoam solver. now i want to use yPlus utility as is in foam-extend utility. i compiled it and tried what was in -postprocessing in openfoam documentation but dosent work in foam extend.
any body can help and guide me how to log yplus distribution and show it in paraview.
its necessary to mention i also teied banana trick on functionobject and its not imcluded there too. so i cannot define it in controldict.
thanks

look in your final time step for a file called yPlus. If it's there, you can load it in with paraview by specifying it in volume fields.

hey dear reader thanks for your reply, eventually i figure out how run the new compiled utility and its as simple as run the name of compiled libe such as yPlusRAS in command line. but the problem is immersed bundary as this yPlus is working with nutkWallFunction patch type and mine is immersedBoundary.
sofar i decided to change the main file named: immersedBoundaryEpsilonWallFunctionFvPatchScalarFi eld in immersedBoundaryTurbulence as in there i saw they calculated and used of
scalar yPlusIB = yPlusSample*y[ibCellI]/ySample[ibCellI];
so i made a vector by
std::vector <double > myYPlusIB;
and in the loop function pushed data to it like this
myYPlusIB.push_back(yPlusIB);
and after finishing loop i did like so

double maxYPlusIB = *max_element(myYPlusIB.begin(),myYPlusIB.end());
double minYPlusIB = *min_element(myYPlusIB.begin(),myYPlusIB.end());
double aveYPlusIB = std::accumulate( myYPlusIB.begin(), myYPlusIB.end(), 0.0)/myYPlusIB.size();

Info<< " yPlusMin=" << minYPlusIB << ", yPlusMax=" << maxYPlusIB
<< ", yPlusAve=" << aveYPlusIB << nl << endl;

---------------
the problem is the yPlus in log file is too large like 50 in minimum and 8000 in maximum, any idea about it?
and also next step is to plot this log info
let see what will happen
