Dear Fellow Foamers,


I have a ventilation simulation case using chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam. I want to postprocess the average temperature (preferably mass weighted) over a couple of outlets.


I created system/postProcessing/posttest01.txt:


/* foamheader */
functions
{
outlettemp
{
// Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
type surfaceFieldValue;
libs (fieldFunctionObjects);

// Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
fields (T);
operation average;
regionType patch;
name he5a;

// Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
postOperation none;
weightField alpha1;
scaleFactor 1.0;
writeArea false;
surfaceFormat none;

// Optional (inherited) entries
writeFields false;
scalingFactor 1.0;
writePrecision 8;
writeToFile true;
useUserTime true;
region domain0;
enabled true;
log true;
timeStart 0;
timeEnd 10000;
executeControl timeStep;
executeInterval 1;
writeControl timeStep;
writeInterval 1;
}
}



but when running
postProcess.exe -dict system/postProcessing/posttest01.txt -latestTime -region domain0



I got:



Create time

Create mesh domain0 for time = 1130

surfaceFieldValue outlettemp:
operation = average


Time = 1130

Reading fields:

Executing functionObjects
surfaceFieldValue outlettemp write:
total faces = 1033
total area = 2.2502252

--> FOAM Warning :
From Foam::label Foam::functionObjects::fieldValues::surfaceFieldVa lue::writeAll(const vectorField&, const Foam::Field<Type>&, const pointField&, const faceList&) [with WeightType = double; Foam::label = int; Foam::vectorField = Foam::Field<Foam::Vector<double> >; Foam:ointField = Foam::Field<Foam::Vector<double> >; Foam::faceList = Foam::List<Foam::face>]
in file fieldValues/surfaceFieldValue/surfaceFieldValueTemplates.C at line 384
Requested field T not found in database and not processed


End





But the T field is there...

Any clues or ideas to get the desired value?
