using toPoints at funkySetFields

Hi,

I try using the toPoints Method for initialising my pointMotionU field because if i don't do it the following error occurs:

Code:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 

 inconsistent types: pointMotionU is  pointVectorField while the expression evaluates to a volVectorField



    From function doAnExpression()

    in file funkySetFields.C at line 328.

So i think i should use the toPoints(...) function in my funkySetFieldsDict like

Code:

      setPointMotionUstart

    {

        field pointMotionU;

        expression "vector(toPoint(0),toPoint(0.5e-1) * toPoint(pi) * (toPoint(0.1e1) - toPoint(pos().y)),toPoint(0)) ";

        keepPatches true;

    }

But now, the following error occurs:

Code:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 

 Parser Error at "1.8-14" :"field toPoint not existing or of wrong type"

"vector(toPoint(0),toPoint(0.5e-1) * toPoint(pi) * (toPoint(0.1e1) - toPoint(pos().y)),toPoint(0)) "

"        ^^^^^^^                                                                                   "



    From function parsingValue

    in file lnInclude/CommonValueExpressionDriverI.H at line 802.



FOAM exiting

Is there some mistake on my side or is it simply not possible to work like this??

Is it maybe something for the mantis bugtracker?

Thanks a lot

Due to historical reason (groovyBC and funkySetFields started out as two different projects) there are inconsistencies between the two grammars. In the field grammar there is

- "point(3.4)" this only works for a scalar (no expressions or anything)
- "interpolateToPoint(0.1e1-pos().y)" this works for any expression

Yes. A Mantis bug "Clean up this unholy mess in the grammars" might speed this up (although your immediate problem should be solved)

Hi all
i want use of FunkySetFields for may case in OpenFoam2.1.1,i instal swak4Foam for this version witout problem,i made FunkySetFieldsDict for my case and after when i run that i see this problem

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
funkySetFields: time/latestTime option is required
From function main()
in file funkySetFields.C at line 641.
FOAM exiting
what is my mistake?
