Hello,

I would like to add a scalarField type to the DataEntry class such that an arbitrary number of scalars could be read in from CSV file. As it stands you can only get 1, 3, or 9 values in using scalar, vector, and tensor types. See code in /src/OpenFOAM/primitives/functions/DataEntry.

I wrote specializations for the scalarField nCSV<scalarField>::readValue and void Foam::nCSV<scalarField>::read() functions to allow specifying the start column and number of columns to read in from CSV.

The problem I facing at compile is that the scalarField, Foam:: pTraits<Foam::Field<double> >, does not have members 'nComponents' or 'zero', which of course the scalar, vector, and tensor types do.

Can anyone please give me some direction on how to fix this? I don't want to resort to using a VectorN type just to read data from file.

thanks,

Jim

If you want to read the scalarField
create a data file which has a scalarFields
Ex: file name PVTdata

which has a scalarField Bg

/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\

FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class dictionary;
location "constant";
object transportProperties;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

4.925580e-03
4.712400e-03
4.532880e-03
4.370190e-03
);

and you can read this Field in create fields

using a IOdict

IOdictionary PVTdata
(
IOobject
(
"PVTdata",
runTime.constant(),
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ_IF_MODIFIED,
IOobject::NO_WRITE
)
);


scalarField Bg
(
PVTdata.lookup("Bg")
);

I'm also tried to read data from CSV file but i dint get and I followed this. Hope this will help you

If you want to read data from csv files use c++ approach. csv files are like text
