How to access math function

Dear OpenFOAMers:

I would like to revise gen6DoF.C in interDyMFoam/sloshingTank3D6DoF. I tried to use Foam::abs(... Foam::sin(..)), but, got an error saying abs is not a member function of Foam. However, Foam::sin(..) works in the same .C file. Can someone tell me how to access abs function?

Thanks!
Pei

Hi Pei !

According to the programmer's guide (p. P-23), the Foam::abs() does not seem to exist. I guess that Foam::mag() would do the same job for a scalar...

Thanks a lot Mathieu!

I missed this in the Programmer's guide.
