Exporting normal vectors of faces as surfaceVectorFields

Hello friends,
I want to export the normal vectors of all faces as surfaceVectorField. Since I couldn't find any functionObjects that allow me to do so, I followed some basic direction that was suggested on this forum (About extracting the normals to faces on a patch). The advice was to modify the function object writeCellCentres and that works out pretty well so far. The following code is a modification of the write-function of the mentioned function object. Code:
bool Foam::functionObjects::writeSurfaceNormalVectors::write() { surfaceVectorField nv ( IOobject ( "NormalVectors", time_.timeName(), mesh_, IOobject::READ_IF_PRESENT, IOobject::AUTO_WRITE ), mesh_.Sf() ); Log << type() << " " << name() << " write:" << nl << " writing normal vectors field " << nv.name() << " to " << time_.timeName() << endl; nv.write(); } However, when I use utilities like reconstructPar or foamToVTK -faceZones aNiceFaceZone which access these newly generated files, I get the following error: Code:
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: (openfoam-2206) Not implemented From Foam::slicedFvsPatchField<Type>::slicedFvsPatchField(const Foam::fvPatch&, const Foam::DimensionedField<Type, Foam::surfaceMesh>&, const Foam::dictionary&) [with Type = Foam::Vector<double>] in file fields/fvsPatchFields/basic/sliced/slicedFvsPatchField.C at line 68.
