Dear Foamers,

I am using OpenFOAM v2012. When I input a symmTensor quantity to be sampled via the command "postProcess -func samplePlanes -latestTime", I get the following error:

Executing functionObjects
--> FOAM Warning :
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: (openfoam-2012)
Entry 'type' has 1 excess tokens in stream

    2(tensor symm)

file: fields.UPrime2Mean at line 0.

The UPrime2Mean is the quantity of interest. It exists in the database but apparently foam has some issues with it. I use the following dictionary in the "samplePlanes" file:

samplePlanes
{
    type            surfaces;
    libs            (sampling);
    surfaceFormat   ensight;
    writeControl    writeTime;
    fields          (U nut UMean nutMean UPrime2Mean);

    surfaces
    {
        symmPlanes
        {
            type        cuttingPlane;
            planeType   pointAndNormal;
            pointAndNormalDict
            {
                point   (0 0 0);  // slightly inside the domain
                normal  (0 0 1);
            }

//            offsets ( 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500 4000 4500 );
        }
    }
}

As seen in the code above, there are other quantities for sampling. However, only UPrime2Mean is causing problem. I was wondering if this is a bug?

I appreciate any hint.

Sincerely,
