Hello Foamers,

I'm working on a case in OpenFoam 4.1 for which I wanted to have additional output; accordingly I used the "writeObjects" utility which writes out a specified object and stores it in the results (found in $FOAM_ETC/caseDicts/postProcessing/fields).

This is how I adjusted writeObjects:
Code:
/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\
  =========                 |
  \\      /  F ield         | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox
   \\    /   O peration     |
    \\  /    A nd           | Web:      www.OpenFOAM.org
     \\/     M anipulation  |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
    Writes out specified objects, e.g. fields, stored on the case database.

\*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

type            writeObjects;
libs            ("libutilityFunctionObjects.so");

objects         (phi);

writeControl    writeTime;

// ************************************************************************* //
Additionally I added this to my controlDict:
Code:
functions
{
    #includeFunc writeObjects(phi)
}
It seems to work fine (I get an additional output file in my time folders) but somehow I can't select and view the results for files in Paraview (they simply don't appear in the list).

Thanks in advance!
