Dear all,

I am creating a custom BC that has to read a dictionary, and after some calculations, write back some new values. My dictionary is initially located in ./constant/ folder, so it is accessed easily:

    IOdictionary flowDict
    (
        IOobject
        (
            flowDict_,
            this->db().time().constant(),
            this->db(),
            IOobject::MUST_READ,
            IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
        )
    );

Later on the code I try to write a new value:

        flowDict.set("allCheckAlpha", true);
        flowDict.Foam::regIOobject::write();

Everything works fine, but if I run my code in parallel, this dictionary gets written within ./processor*/constant/ . Then, if I restart the simulation, it is read by default from this last location.

It would be very convenient for me not to have hundreds of flowDicts scattered around in the ./processor*/constant/ folders, but just one copy in the main constant folder.

Any clues on how to fix this issue?

Thanks!

Pablo

Afaik you could just reconstruct the constant directorie by using

reconstructPar -constant
