Hello, OpenFOAM users:
recently,I meet a problem.I can not show the variable I defined.
I use icoFOAM to calculate a channel flow.When it finished down I use an application which it's write by myself to calculate EDR a variable I define myself.After it down,I can find there are files named EDR in each time directory.
But I run paraFoam,I can't choose EDR ,I can just only choose p and U.
who can tell me why?

Did you define an IOObject with the AUTO_WRITE option?

Thanks for your help,
But I think maybe I do not know exactly about what you means.
I accept your suggestion in this way, as below shows:

volScalarField edr
(
IOobject
(
"EDR",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::NO_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
laminarTransport.nu() * (fvc::grad(U)+T(fvc::grad(U))) && (fvc::grad(U))
);

after wmake again,I write to re calculate the EDR.But after paraFoam I can still can't find the choose to show EDR in paraview.

Hello akidess,
Yes,you are right.I found that. In paraview , at Volume Fields,I do not choose EDR.Now It's OK.
