Dear Foamers,

I have used up to version 5 the following specification of a moving boundary wall with sinusoidal motion in the file "0/pointMotionUz":

    botCyl1
    {
        type            codedFixedValue;
        value           uniform 0;
        redirectType    rampedFixedValuebotCyl1;
        code            #{
              const scalar Amp1 = 0.344160362081775;
              const scalar Fre1 = 0.043410049625417;
              const scalar PiGr = 3.141592653589793;
              const scalar beta = PiGr/2;
              scalar Uz1=Amp1*sin((2.0*PiGr*this->db().time().value()+beta)/Fre1);
              operator==(Uz1);
          #};
    }

It worked perfectly but now, moving to version 8, it does not work anymore. I get the following error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword name is undefined in dictionary "/data/home/marra/OpenFOAM/marra-8/run/test/0/pointMotionUz/boundaryField/botCyl1"

file: /data/home/marra/OpenFOAM/marra-8/run/test/0/pointMotionUz/boundaryField/botCyl1 from line 26 to line 29.

    From function const Foam::entry& Foam::dictionary::lookupEntry(const Foam::word&, bool, bool) const
    in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 802.

FOAM exiting

Line 26 is the line starting with the keyword "type codedFixedValue" of the listing reported. I understand that the syntax has been changed in the new version but I was not able to find information about the new syntax.
Please, can you help me by indicating where I can find examples or docs about the correct new syntax or by giving me some hints to correct the code?
Thank you in advance,
Franco

You need to replace "redirectType" with "name". See: https://cpp.openfoam.org/v8/classFoa...d.html#details

Dear Krapf,
thank you so much! I made it to work again. Also important was your suggestion about the right entry in the documentation. It helped me to figure out how to search.
My best regards,
Franco
