Dear all,

I know that I can obtain the required info from the mesh directly, but, in any case, do you know a way to access patches and thier geometrical quantities from fvPatchVectorField ?

With the following line, I can get the patch field number patchi:

- const fvPatchVectorField& Up = U.boundaryField()[patchi];

Starting from Up, can I get faceCells in some way or Cf() for example?

Thank you!

The object fvPatchVectorField seems to be initialized in fvPatchFields.H
and going back to the object itself seen here it's fvPatchFields.

 makeFvPatchField(fvPatchScalarField)
 makeFvPatchField(fvPatchVectorField)//line 587 in fvPatchField.h
 makeFvPatchField(fvPatchSphericalTensorField)
 makeFvPatchField(fvPatchSymmTensorField)
 makeFvPatchField(fvPatchTensorField)

Looking through the
header for fvPatchField it seems you should be able to call patch() and snGrad(); these two caught my eye but there are many other functions and it's time consuming to trace down what they all do.

Which version of OF are you using?
You can try...

const fvPatchVectorField& Up = U.boundaryField()[patchI];
const labelList faceCellList = Up.patch().faceCells();

you can also access it as a subList using labelList::subList.
Hope this helps?

Hello guys,

thank you for the help.

Yes that workd

I have also find out that this is working as well:

- const fvPatch& ptch=U.boundaryField()[patchI].patch();

and then I can acces to the info using ptch.faceCells()


Cheers and Thank you!
