Hi there,


I am using the 'volFieldValue' function to write fields (U p) of a specific 'cellZone' called 'Box1' during runtime, without writing the fields all over my domain. This writes the fields to my time folders, under names like "U_cellZone-Box1" and "p_cellZone-Box1". So far, so good.


However, I cannot visualise these fields in Paraview. I have enabled the "Read zones" and "Copy data to cell zones" options. I can see my cell zone using the Extract Block filter, but I cannot see the fields. I've also tried changing the filenames from "U_cellZone-Box1" to "U" for example, but this hasn't helped. I also run 'foamToVTK -cellZone-Box1 -parallel'. It writes the mesh of the cellZone in VTK format, but not the fields, so the same problem.


Do you have any idea how I should manipulate these cellZone fields to visualise them in Paraview?


Best regards,


Ege


This is the function I am using inside my ControlDict:


Code:
    volFieldValue1
    {
        type                volFieldValue;
        libs                 ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
        log                  true;
        writeControl    runTime;
        writeInterval   0.005;
        writeFields     true;
        regionType       cellZone;
        name               Box1;
        operation         none;
        fields
        (
            U
            p
        );
    }
