Dear Foamers,
I had recently installed the latest version of OpenFoam 2.1.1. I was trying to compile and execute my solvers created in version 1.7.0 into the latest version. I had no issues in compiling my solvers, however I found that my probes function was not working in the new version. Below is my controldict file /*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\ | ========= | | | \\ / F ield | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox | | \\ / O peration | Version: 2.1.1 | | \\ / A nd | Web: www.OpenFOAM.org | | \\/ M anipulation | | \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ FoamFile { version 2.0; format ascii; class dictionary; location "system"; object controlDict; } // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // application coupleFoam_1D; startFrom startTime; startTime 0; stopAt endTime; endTime 10000; deltaT 200; writeControl adjustableRunTime; writeInterval 200; purgeWrite 0; writeFormat ascii; writePrecision 8; writeCompression uncompressed; timeFormat general; timePrecision 8; runTimeModifiable yes; adjustTimeStep yes; functions { probes { // Where to load it from functionObjectLibs ( "libsampling.so" ); type probes; // Name of the directory for probe data name probes; // Write at same frequency as fields outputControl outputTime; outputInterval 1; // Fields to be probed fields ( Phi C1 ); // Locations to be probed. runTime modifiable! probeLocations ( // x variation (0 0 0) ); } } // ************************************************** *********************** // // ************************************************** *********************** // As I had mentioned, I am able to execute the program but not able to get the probes function working. Kindly let me know what could be the reason for this. Thanks Regards Vishal |

Dear Vishal,
I am trying to solve the same problem that you faced. Have you solved it? How did you get it working? Thanks a lot, Samuele |

Actually,
the problem is a bit different. It works, but I am able to evaluate temperature in a single point. How could I evaluate the temperatures of all the cells on a patch? |

Then you need a different type of function. Altough the patch data is stored by default every output timestep, so I am not sure if it is strictly necessary (unless you want the patch info to be written more often). You should look up the different types of functionObjects to see the possibilities during runtime.

I'll look for them,
thanks a lot. Where are they listed? Also, just one more question: is it possible to manipulate the variable on that patch? I mean, can I sum them, or something like it? Thanks again, Samuele |

Hi Samuele,
In my case,the probes function was not working due to the new OpenFOAM version 2.1.0. I was able to fix it by changing for (runTime++; !runTime.end(); runTime++) with: while (runTime.run()) in the solver. Thanks Vishal |
