Hi everyone,

I am trying to determine the forces and the force coefficients on a cylinder in OpenFoam 1.6-ext. I have typed the following in my controlDict file:

libs ("libmyIncompressibleRASModels.so" "libOpenFOAM.so" "libgroovyBC.so");
application osciTurbFoam;
startFrom latestTime;
deltaT 2.7e-4;
writeControl adjustableRunTime;
startTime 0;
stopAt endTime;
endTime 200.0;
writeInterval 1;
purgeWrite 0;
writeFormat ascii;
writePrecision 6;
writeCompression uncompressed;
timeFormat general;
timePrecision 6;
runTimeModifiable yes;
adjustTimeStep yes;
maxCo 0.5;
maxDeltaT 0.01;

functions
(
forces
{
type forces;
functionObjectLibs ("libforces.so");
patches (fixedWall);
pName p;
UName U;
rhoName rhoInf;
rhoInf 1000; // Reference density, fluid
CofR (0 0 0); // Origin for moment calculations
outputControl timeStep;
outputInterval 1;
}
forceCoeffs
{
type forceCoeffs;
functionObjectLibs ("libforces.so");
patches (fixedWall);
// pName p;
// UName U;
rhoName rhoInf;
rhoInf 1000;
CofR (0 0 0);
liftDir (0 0 1);
dragDir (1 0 0);
pitchAxis (0 0 0);
magUInf 0.05; // Free stream velocity
lRef 0.3; // Diameter of cylinder?
Aref 0.0707; // Ref. Area = cross sectional area?
outputControl timeStep;
outputInterval 1;
}
);


My problem is, that in the two directories "forces" and "forceCoeffs" I only get a 0 directory (only one .dat file for each). Does someone know, why the other timesteps do not generate files for forces and force coefficients?

Thank you in advance
