I have appended the following code to my controlDict file:
functions ( forces { type forces; functionObjectLibs ("libforces.so"); patches (cylinder); rhoInf 1.0; CofR (0 0 0); outputControl timeStep; outputInterval 1; } ); The rest of my controlDict file is untouched from the first tutorial case - I am using a different geometry and mesh (flow over a cylinder), but am still using the icoFoam solver. I've seen other posts on this and tried to emulate what appears to be other user's success, but I'm still falling short. I'm not getting any errors but the force files are just not being created, so I'm stumped by this. Can anyone help me out? Thanks. I'm using v2.0.1 |
