Hi everyone!

I am running a modified version of icoFoam on OpenFOAM 2.3.0 with variation of temperature, in accordance with http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...ure_to_icoFoam, and I am now trying to make my thermo physical properties vary with temperature.

I am using the basicThermo library to calculate he, rho, alpha, and Cp. The program compiles ok but then while running the simulation, it calculates these properties for t = 0s (according to the initial temperature), and then for the subsequent time steps, it only presents these values for the initial boundary conditions, and does not calculate them for the varying temperature.

I must be forgetting something...

Can you please help me on this?
I can post any case files if you need.

Thanks in advance!
