Dear foamers,
I want to put a groovyBC.I am trying to put a temperature boundary condition as initial temperature(time=0) is a nonuniform list of value and then it to change as "zeroGradient".
For that matter i have put it as follows;

type        groovyBC;
          valueExpression        "nonuniform List<scalar>

    ;
    gradientExpression    "0";
    fractionExpression    "(time() == 0) ? 1 : 0";

this gives the following error;

    From function ISstream::read(string&)
    in file db/IOstreams/Sstreams/ISstream.C at line 545.

FOAM exiting

So,I would like to know how to put this nonuniform "valueExpression" in groovyBC?
Using a data file or something like that?
Thanks a lot.

That is not possible in this way as this is not a valid groovyBC-expression and there is no way to set individual faces in groovyBC. In fact the pain purpose of groovyBC is to avoid this. Solution to get what you want depends on where you got the values from. If you calculated them by hand then you should be able to express them in an expression (no pun intended). If they are from some measurment then I'd suggest a lookup-table.

Dear Bernhard,
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply.I used an expression for the matter.
