Hi everybody,

I am trying to access a thermoCoalCloud through the object registry. But the following line of code

const thermoCoalCloud& coalCloud = obr_.lookupObject<thermoCoalCloud>("coalCloud1");

gives me this ambiguous error

/home/gregor/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.1/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/objectRegistryTemplates.C:120: error: reference to ‘Foam::ReactingMultiphaseCloud<Foam::CoalParcel<Fo am::sutherlandTransport<Foam::specieThermo<Foam::j anafThermo<Foam:erfectGas> > > > >::typeName’ is ambiguous

What is going wrong and how can i fix it ? Help would be much appreciated

ok i am using now

    const Cloud<CoalParcel<gasThermoPhysics> >& coalCloud = obr_.lookupObject<Cloud<CoalParcel<gasThermoPhysics> > >("coalCloud1");

maybe there is a better and more elegant way to do it but for now it is working
