VectorSpace cmpt

Mowgli · June 10, 2016, 10:43

I am trying to use externalCoupled boundary condtions to create input BCs at every timestep, to my OpenFoam solver. I have understood the tutorial case on the cavity which uses Temp BCs. But on implementing the same for U , I encounter an error in the syntax of the vectorfield in my data.in file . I have tried to use the general (Ux Uy Uz) format but this seems unacceptable to Openfoam. It asks for a VectorSpace<Form, Cmpt, nCmpt> which I do not understand. WHat exactly do 'Form' and 'cmpt' stand for?

Figured it out

Hello, can you tell us what the solution was? thank you

Figured out also, Format should be

(10 0 0) (0 0 0) 1
(10 0 0) (0 0 0) 1
etc..

vector, gradient, composition

Gawd, I read this a year ago and it took me this long to relocate it.

Thanks, Gerry.
