Hi!

I am making a solver which has a section where the following process needs to be carried out:

• An earlier recognized Lagrangian particle's position is written to kinematic cloud positions file
• A new Lagrangian particle, if any, is added to the kinematicCloud positions file

Now, I can carry out the second part of it. I know from some research that it is possible to obtain the particles' information (positions in my case). I am trying out the following code:

            const kinematicCloud & a = obr_.lookupObject<kinematicCloud> ("kinematicCloud");
            basicKinematicCloud * q = (basicKinematicCloud*) &a;
            forAllIter(basicKinematicCloud, *q, pIter)
            {

                Pout<<"particle position: "<<pIter.positions()<<endl;
            }

I am using kinematicCloud for the cloud. My cloud's name is kinematicCloud. The above snippet of code is not even compiling and is giving the following error:

I have included the following header files for cloud:

#include "basicKinematicCloud.H"
#include "particle.H" // for tracking particle position

I will be very grateful if someone could help me out with this.

Thanks

Hello Vishwesh,
did you found a solution?

I'm stuck with the same problem here...

for this code

const  kinematicCloud& a = obr_.lookupObject<kinematicCloud> ("kinematicCloud");
basicKinematicCloud * q = (basicKinematicCloud*) &a;
forAllIter(basicKinematicCloud, *q, pIter)
{
   Info << pIter().position() << endl;
}

I get this error:

myInterFoam.C: In Funktion »int main(int, char**)«:
myInterFoam.C:117:19: Fehler: »kinematicCloud« bezeichnet keinen Typ
             const kinematicCloud & a = obr_.lookupObject<kinematicCloud> ("kinematicCloud");
                   ^
myInterFoam.C:118:63: Fehler: »a« wurde in diesem Gültigkeitsbereich nicht definiert
             basicKinematicCloud * q = (basicKinematicCloud*) &a;
                                                               ^
myInterFoam.C:118:63: Warnung: Verwendung einer Typumwandlung im alten Stil [-Wold-style-cast]
myInterFoam.C:122:52: Fehler: »Foam::Cloud<Foam::KinematicParcel<Foam::particle> >::iterator« hat kein Element namens »positions«
                 Pout<<"particle position: "<<pIter.positions()<<endl;

so the problem seems to be with the 'kinematicCloud'. But do you have an idea what's wrong here?

Maybe it's due to the upper code because it's from openfoam 1.7. So maybe something changed in the syntax...

Hi

I am yet to find a solution for this. Let's see if someone else can help us out.

Hi,

What about pIter.positions() vs pIter().position() ?
pIter().position() works to me.
