b.simpson is on a distinguished road
Hi,

My OpenFOAM model is writing data at the defined writeTime in my controlDict but it is not writing the final simulation data to the PostProcessing folder when the convergence criteria is met. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

For information, I am running buoyantSimpleFoam using the OpenFOAM-dev version. I have several volFieldValue, fieldMinMax and surfaces called in my functionObjects. In my last simulation run, these were writen to the PostProcessing folder at times 1000, 2000, and 3000 but not when the simulation converged at time 3917.

Below is my controlDict:
Code:
