Summary0003980: An error occurred while using functionObjects about forceCoeffs
DescriptionHello,

I use the icoFoam solver and compute the flow.
When I tried to use the postProcess command for post-processing after completing the calculation using icoFoam, I encountered the following error:

No valid model for viscous stress calculation

I would like to use functionObject for post-processing on resistance coefficient.This is the command code I used at the time:

postProcess -fields "(p U)" -dict system/functionObject1 -noZero

This is my functionObejct file:

functions
{
    forceCoeffs_1
    {
    type forceCoeffs;
    libs ("libforces.so");
    enabled true;
    patches (C-X);
    pName p;
    Uname U;
    rho rhoInf;
    rhoInf 1e+3;
    log true;
    CofR (0 0 0);
    pitchAxis (0 0 1);
    magUInf 0.196;
    lRef 1;
    Aref 8e-3;
    writeControl timeStep;
    writeInterval 25;
    liftDir (0 1 0);
    dragDir (1 0 0);
    }
}

Here is a part of the log file:

forces forceCoeffs_1:
    Not including porosity effects
forceCoeffs forceCoeffs_1:
    Not including porosity effects
Time = 0.005

Reading fields:
    volScalarFields: p
    volVectorFields: U

icoFoam is a simple teaching solver for which full pre/post-processing capability is not needed or provided. Use pimpleFoam instead.
