Hello,

I would like to change patch type and found the member function changePatchType (const word &patchName, const word &type) under the boundaryMesh class.

How do I construct a boundaryMesh class to access its member function?

The following has been tried without success
mesh.boundaryMesh().changePatchType(curPatch.name( ),"zeroGradient");

error: ‘const class FoamolyBoundaryMesh’ has no member named ‘changePatchType’

Thanks/
NW

Sorry, the previous post is completely wrong!

What I would like to do is to change boundary condition for a variable. The type can be obtained as,

U.boundaryField()[patchID].type();

But how can I change the boundaryField type for a specific variable, except manually in the data files?

Thanks again!
