Examine A dimensionedScalar at Boundary

deji · July 30, 2010, 16:35

I have been going through Doxygen hoping to find a way to examine a dimensioned scalar at the boundary (patch), but thus far no luck. Can anyone please give me an insight to this particular question:

Code:

IOdictionary LESProperties
    (
        IOobject
        (
            "LESProperties",
            runTime.constant(),
            mesh,
            IOobject::MUST_READ,
            IOobject::NO_WRITE
        )
    );
    dimensionedScalar alpha(fireFoamProperties.lookup("alpha"));
    scalarField alphaw = alpha.boundaryField()[patchi] <----- ??? :confused:

the last line in the code posted is where my problem lies. can anyone assist?

i get the following error pertaining to alphaw:

error: ‘struct Foam::dimensionedScalar’ has no member named ‘boundaryField’

can someone help regarding this small matter.
