Hallo again.

I'm currently playing with faceSets and how to access its information.
I stole some code from splitMesh, which is reading a faceSet to split a mesh at these faces.

For a very very basic understanding I tried to read an existing faceSet (named f0) and output its size.

Here is the code

#include "faceSet.H"
#include "polyMesh.H"
#include "argList.H"

using namespace Foam;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    word setName = argv[1];

    Info<< "Reading faceSet from " << setName << endl;

    #   include "setRootCase.H"
    #   include "createMesh.H"
    #   include "createTime.H"
    #   include "createPolyMesh.H"

    faceSet facesSet(mesh, setName);

    Info<< "faceSet size: " << facesSet.size() << endl;
}

Unsurprisingly to me this code does not work.
Here is the output from wmake:

Just for completeness: I intended to get the faceSets name and its size as output with the command:

listFaceSet f0

Dear Sebastian,

Read the error message carfully! The compiler complains that it does not understand a few things in your createMesh.H.

Without knowing the contents of this file, I would guess that a lot of those errors will go away if you add

#include "fvCFD.H"

to your code. But the ";"-problem will not.

All of the problems were solved with including fvCFD.H and putting

-I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \

into the Make/options file!

But now there is a problem with the number of argument.
When runnning the file on a case for which a faceSet exists in constant/polyMesh/sets/f0 I'm getting this error:

Wrong number of arguments, expected 0 found 1

The code of my tool actually contains only these couple of lines:

#include "faceSet.H"
#include "polyMesh.H"
#include "argList.H"
#include "fvCFD.H"

using namespace Foam;

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

#   include "setRootCase.H"
#   include "createTime.H"
#   include "createPolyMesh.H"

    Foam::argList::validArgs.append("faceSet");
    word setName(args.additionalArgs()[0]);  

    Info<< "Reading faceSet set from " << setName << endl;

    faceSet facesSet(mesh, setName);

    Info<< "faceSet size: " << facesSet.size() << endl;

    Info<< nl << "end" << endl;
    return 0;
}

so maybe finding the error won't be too hard for one of you?

[henrik]

Not sure, but try

 int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
     Foam::argList::validArgs.append("faceSet");

#   include "setRootCase.H"
#   include "createTime.H"
#   include "createPolyMesh.H"

     word setName(args.additionalArgs()[0]);

    // more code
}

[sega]

Yes, its working! Thank you!
I didn't realize that this would made a difference.
Why is that so?

Dear Sebastian,

the argument parser needs to know the full syntax to its job properly which includes flagging errors. Some of the arguments are used in setRootCase.H so valid option have to be defined before ...

If you want to learn more - dig through

$FOAM_SRC/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/argList.C
$FOAM_SRC/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/setRootCase.H
