Hello,

I am attempting to extract dQ from my simulation using simplefunctionobjects and swak4foam. I successfully implemented the following in OF2.1.x:

functions
(
volumeAverage
{
type volumeAverage;
functionObjectLibs
(
"libsimpleFunctionObjects.so"
);
verbose true;
fields
(
T
dQ
C7H16
);
factor 1;
}
);

Unfortunately due to other problems I am now using OF1.7.1 . When I add this function to the controlDict in OF1.7.1 the Temperature and C7H16 fields are successfully extracted, however I recieve the following error for dQ.

FOAM Warning :
From function probes::read()
in file volume/volumeFieldFunctionObject/volumeFieldFunctionObject.C at line 91
Unknown field dQ when reading dictionary "::volumeAverage"
Can only probe registered volScalar, volVector, volSphericalTensor, volSymmTensor and volTensor fields

Which from what I can understand, means that it cannot read/recognize dQ. Has anyone experienced this before? and does anyone know another method of extracting dQ. I have tried execFlowfuntionobjects but my thermomodel is not supported.

Many Thanks,

ris
