Operands

Operand Type Location
input - -
output file - -
output field 1 volVectorField $FOAM_CASE/<time>/C
output field 2 volScalarField $FOAM_CASE/<time>/{Cx,Cy,Cz}

Usage

Example of the writeCellCentres function object by using functions sub-dictionary in system/controlDict file:

writeCellCentres1
{
    // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
    type            writeCellCentres;
    libs            (fieldFunctionObjects);

    // Optional (inherited) entries
    region          region0;
    enabled         true;
    log             true;
    timeStart       0;
    timeEnd         1000;
    executeControl  timeStep;
    executeInterval 1;
    writeControl    timeStep;
    writeInterval   1;
}

where the entries mean:

Property Description Type Required Default
type Type name: writeCellCentres word yes -
libs Library name: fieldFunctionObjects word yes -

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

Example by using the postProcess utility:

postProcess -func writeCellCentres
