How can I access the (I, J) component of a volTensorField?

I am able to do just that with a Tensor2 such as
- TensorN<scalar, 2> aa
- aa(0, 1) = -1.0
- Info << aa(0, 1) << end;

I then get the value -1.0 from location (0, 1) of tensor2.

How do I do that for a volTensorField created with tensor2 vectors?

I am trying to use each component of the volTensorField as a scalar field and perform operations on it.

Thanks.

Hi,

Have you taken a look at this? http://foam.sourceforge.net/docs/Gui...mmersGuide.pdf

Hi,
You can access the components of volTensorField like this:
volScalarField scalar_1("scalar_1", mytensorfield.component(tensor::XX));
you can access other components by replacing XX with YY, ZZ, XY, YZ, ZX etc.
