Creating field of strings with "mesh-structure"

maybee · February 13, 2014, 06:03

hi,

I need to create a field that consists of a function (string) for each cell of the current geometry like of type

Code:

GeometricField<string, fvPatchField, volMesh>

.

The field should have the structure of the current mesh. Is this possible and how would I do it?
I've read about the classes "geometricField" and "dimensionedField", but I am not sure if it s possible and how to do it.

Hi Maybee,

It sounds a bit weird, because I am pretty sure that the boundary field is not defined for strings. Do something along the following lines:

Code:

List<string> stringField(mesh.C().internalField().size());

forAll (stringField, stringi)
{
    // Populate with correct string
}

Kind regards,

Niels

Hi,

thx for the answer - i will check this later when I have to implement this into my code.
