Hello all,

I'm currently trying to model mesh motion for a rectangular slab due to strain induced from small chemical species (e.g. water) diffusion into a material. I've modified solidDisplacementFoam to include dynamic mesh motion (displacementLaplacianFvMotionSolver).

The mesh moves when I put a uniform time varying boundary condition into the "top" patch in the 0/pointDisplacement file. However, I want pointDisplacement to be dependent on the calculated displacement during runtime. To accomplish this, I'm attempting to modify a copy of the tractionDisplacementFvPatchVectorField to use in the 0/pointDisplacement file similar to how the tractionDisplacement BC is used in 0/D.

PROBLEM
I need to change the volVectorField D into a pointVectorField for use in 0/pointDisplacement. I've read all that I could find about volPointInterpolation, but I'm still having trouble understanding how to use it.

This is the portion of the code that I have placed the volPointInterpolation.

 void pDisplacementFvPatchVectorField::updateCoeffs()
{
    if (updated())
    {
        return;
    }


        const fvPatchField<vector>& Disp =
            patch().lookupPatchField<volVectorField, vector>("D");

    volPointInterpolation interpolateVolPoint (mesh);
    pointVectorField DispP = interpolateVolPoint.interpolate(Disp);
    
    operator==
        (
        DispP
        );

    fixedGradientFvPatchVectorField::updateCoeffs();
}

And I am receiving these notes and errors when I try wclean/wmake:

pointDisp2/pointDisplacement2FvPatchVectorField.C: In member function ‘virtual void Foam::pDisplacementFvPatchVectorField::updateCoeffs()’:

I would appreciate any help with this problem. I'm still new to OpenFOAM and C++, so any help is appreciated.

Thank you,
