CFD Online Discussion Forums - [PyFoam] dimensionedScalar parameters

Hello!

I'm trying to change parameters of the case using pyFoam. Here is the part of my python script:

Code:

for laserPower in [400,800,900]:

    print "laserPower:",laserPower

    case=orig.cloneCase("CASE_%f"%laserPower).name

    transport=ParsedParameterFile(path.join(case,

                                            "constant",

                                            "thermalProperties"))

    transport["laserPower"]=laserPower

    transport.writeFile()

The thing is that my program needs laserPower to be dimensionedScalar, but pyFoam makes it a scalar. Of course I can make my programm not to be so discriminating, but may be pyFoam can parse dimensionedScalars?? Does anybody know how to do that?
