Hello, I' m trying tu run my case with this functionObject that i copied here: /opt/openfoam240/src/postProcessing/functionObjects/field/fieldAverage

When i run interFoam, i get this output error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword sourceName is undefined in dictionary "/home/gabriele/OpenFOAM/gabriele-2.4.0/run/prova/system/controlDict.functions.faceObj1"

file: /home/gabriele/OpenFOAM/gabriele-2.4.0/run/prova/system/controlDict.functions.faceObj1 from line 55 to line 87.

From function dictionary::lookupEntry(const word&, bool, bool) const
in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 442.


Below the script that i put in controlDict:

functions
{
faceObj1
{
type faceSource;
functionObjectLibs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");

enabled true;
outputControl outputTime;

// Output to log&file (true) or to file only
log true;

// Output field values as well
valueOutput true;

// Type of source: patch/faceZone/sampledSurface
source sampledSurface;

// if sampledSurface: dictionary with a sampledSurface
// Note: will not sample surface fields.
sampledSurfaceDict
{
// Sampling on constantPlane
sourceName piano1;
type plane; // always triangulated
basePoint (0.41 0 0);
normalVector (-1 0 0);
}

// Operation: areaAverage/sum/weightedAverage ...
operation areaAverage;

fields
(
p
);
}
}

Someone has an idea from where is the problem?

Thank you

Sorry, in the script there isn't the line:

sourceName piano1;

anyway openFoam still gives me the same error both with and without this line

Old thread (and this could be a version issue.)
But for anyone seeking answers to get patch data in OF6 I just added a comment here: The syntax has changed a bit, that's all.
