How to execute an utility inside the code of a modify solver?

jmonsa13 · July 12, 2013, 17:08

Hello everybody

I'm a kind of new in all this subject of posting in internet, so i excuse for advanced if i made some mistake in my way of asking... I'm modifying an solvers and i would like to execute an utility(modifyMesh) in each iteration of the solver icoFoam. Somebody know how i must to call this utility inside the code of the solver?

Thank very much
Juan Felipe

i think i find a solution... only i have to put

system ("utilityHERE");

in the code

I don't think this is the best solution, because this is a system call, so you would need to reload the mesh into the memory and such kind of things. Why not just copy the corresponding source code into your solver?
