foamCalc addSubtract
foamCalc components
foamCalc div
foamCalc interpolate
foamCalc mag

Hi,

as I work with foamCalc a littlte, I'll tell you what I know:

foamCalc mag U calculates the magnitute of U at each time. When you would like to specify a time, write fe -latestTime behind the option.

You can sample the outcomes by sample utility (which does need a special sampleDict).
