3 Description

Quoting from OpenFOAM's source code [1]:

Executes the set of functionObjects specified in the selected dictionary (which defaults to system/controlDict) for the selected set of times. Alternative dictionaries should be placed in the system/ folder.

The flow (p-U) and optionally turbulence fields are available for the function objects to operate on allowing forces and other related properties to be calculated in addition to cutting planes etc.
