Hello,



i have created source code to define fields/terms, then compiling these src and using the lib.so later in the post-processing by using `rhoPimpleFoam`. I am using OpenFOAM 1612+

The problem that when i am trying to write these fields in the `field` for averaging function in the `controlDict` , it is returning me always this warning

--> FOAM Warning : 
    From function void Foam::functionObjects::fieldAverage::initialize()
    in file fieldAverage/fieldAverage.C at line 95
    Field UU not found in database for averaging

But it is showing in the the start that , UU could be found as follow

Starting time loop

fieldAverage fieldAverage1:
    Restarting averaging for fields:
        U: starting averaging at time 0
        p: starting averaging at time 0
        T: starting averaging at time 0
        rho: starting averaging at time 0
        UU: starting averaging at time 0

I am adding it in the `controlDict` as follow:

functions
{

 ....


     fieldAverage1
    {
        type fieldAverage;
        libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so" "libMTSFunctionObjects.so");
        writeControl writeTime;

        fields
        (
...


           UU
                      {
                mean        on;
                prime2Mean  on;
                base        time;
          }

        );
    }

}

Where `UU` is one of the fields that has been defined in src. It is working with no warnings for `U`, `p` and `rho`.
I have tried everything, i have used `write()` function to write it in the desk as `UU.write();` .
The compiling proceed with no errors or warnings.

Update:

when i have tried to call `UU' in the function before `fieldAverage`, it is calculating UU normally with no problems, but still the same warning when averaging:

Current time: 0.02
calc() function called
UU calc starting
Calculated UU tensor: dimensions      [1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0];

internalField   nonuniform List<tensor> 
742716

Thank you very much if someone could suggest or help.

Best regards,
Khaled

Check that your "UU" field is registered and also that it is still in scope (ie, you haven't accidentally destroyed it).
