Hi,

i want to access in my own boundary condition a member variable of another boundary condition.

For example:

There is a boundary "anotherFvPatchScalarField" condition with the variable

word info = "anInfo";


in my own boundary condition I want to access the variable info:

word patchName = "patchWithVariableInfo";
label patchID = this->patch().boundaryMesh().findPatchID(patchName)

const fvPatch& anotherPatch = this->patch().boundaryMesh()[patchId_];


Info << reCast<anotherFvPatchScalarField>(anotherPatch).in fo;


But, there is a cast error in the last line.

Attempt to cast type wall to type anotherFvPatchScalarField.

Any hints?
Thanks

The problem is that

this->patch().boundaryMesh()[patchId_]

returns a fvPatch and not a specific fvPatchField like anotherFvPatchScalarField.

Is there a possibility in my boundary condition to access fvPatchFields from a specific fvPatch?
