Hi Foamers,

as the newest version of OpenFOAM 2.2.x supports Dictionary Macro Expansion, I wonder if it can be used for blockMeshDict:

....

xSize 10;
ySize 18;
zSize 15;

...

hex (0 22 24 11 37 47 35 40) (xSize ySize zSize) simpleGrading (0.5 0.5 1);

....

But when runing blockMesh, it says

wrong token type - expected int, found on line 85 the word 'xSize1'..

So I wonder how to use Macros in OpenFoam correctly.

Best,

David



Edit1: Using predefined variables needs '$' .

Edit2: It would be great if mathematical operation is supported via macros, e.g.

a 5;
b 6;
c = $a + $b;

That has been requested some time ago: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=447 - and it might itself tell you how you can perform said calculation

thanks very much Bruno.

Now it's very straightforward to define parameters in blockMeshdict, other than using .m4 file or blender Swiftblock.

Edit1: Does it support c++ math functions: e.g. sin( ), sqrt( ), log( ), etc.
