Attached is the adapted code based on drrbradford's modifications. The main difference is only how the modifications were made:

1. I first made a copy of the library "$FOAM_SRC/postProcessing/functionObjects/forces" onto my personal user folder:
   

   cd $FOAM_RUN
   cd ..
   cp -r $FOAM_SRC/postProcessing/functionObjects/forces forceDirCoeffs

2. Removed the excess folders in this new folder "forceDirCoeffs" and renamed "forceCoeffs" folder inside it, leaving this way only two folders:
   

   forceDirCoeffs
   Make

3. Edited "Make/files" and this is what's inside it now:
   

   forceDirCoeffs/forceDirCoeffs.C
   forceDirCoeffs/forceDirCoeffsFunctionObject.C
   
   LIB = $(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN)/libforceDirCoeffs

4. Edited "Make/options" and made it depend/include the original function object library, since there are things we need from it (I think...):
   

   EXE_INC = \
       -I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \
       -I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude \
       -I$(LIB_SRC)/sampling/lnInclude \
       -I$(LIB_SRC)/transportModels \
       -I$(LIB_SRC)/turbulenceModels \
       -I$(LIB_SRC)/turbulenceModels/LES/LESdeltas/lnInclude \
       -I$(LIB_SRC)/thermophysicalModels/basic/lnInclude \
       -I$(LIB_SRC)/postProcessing/functionObjects/forces/lnInclude
   
   LIB_LIBS = \
       -lincompressibleTransportModels \
       -lincompressibleRASModels \
       -lincompressibleLESModels \
       -lbasicThermophysicalModels \
       -lspecie \
       -lcompressibleRASModels \
       -lcompressibleLESModels \
       -lfiniteVolume \
       -lmeshTools \
       -lsampling \
       -lforces

5. Renamed all files inside the sub-folder "forceDirCoeffs", adding "Dir" after "force".
6. Edited all of the renamed files and did the same search and replace of "forceCoeffs" to "forceDirCoeffs".
7. Finally added the modifications described in the first two posts.

To build it:

wmake libso

To use it:

1. Instead of referring to the library "libforces.so", you now refer to "libforceDirCoeffs.so".
2. Instead of "forceCoeffs" in the case's "controlDict" file, you now use "forceDirCoeffs". Keep in mind that you now also have a vector entry named "sfDir".

I haven't tested this, so I can only assume that it works

Hi

With ref to your post regarding error in side force Coef I am sending this mail.

Following is the error that occur after wmake libso

************************************************** ***************
we have also tried wclean and removed all dep files still same error occurs.
Our version No is 2.3.0

Kindly help for the same.

[sukratu]

We get the same error. Unfortunately,, it persists even after doing wclean and
after removing all the .dep files (our wclean does not seem to remove those; only
a directory ends up getting removed)

Sincerely,
S

I Know this error, in the terminal you go to this folder and type follow me:

it will delete deb file
and now you type:

don't miss libso :P

I just tried to compile it using OpenFOAM-2.2.x and OpenFOAM-2.3.x and it works without any error.
Here are the steps based on the README file which I followed:

git clone git://github.com/wyldckat/forceDirCoeffs.git
cd forceDirCoeffs
git checkout of22x
wmake libso forceDirCoeffs

It appears that you are compiling OpenFOAM-2.1 version

[sukratu]

I will check if that README file has been followed. I do not think it has been.

Hi people,

I am trying to add side forces patch on Openfoam versions 3.1, 4.1 and 5.1, however following the earlier steps to verbatim have not solved my problem.
any suggestions?

I am attaching a image for reference.

regards,
Swapnil.

I have compiled force dir files for version 5 of openfoam, however these have given me some errors while compling using wmake. I am guessing it is more of a white space or tab issue. I tried fixing it, but no luck. If anybody here can take a loog at these files and let me know the issues. that would be a great help.
regards,
Swapnil Mali
