Deeper access to sprayCloud data?

Hey!

I would like to create a postprocessing script for lagrangian data and I have been trying to look for examples (like particleTracks or lagrangianMap) but they use the PassiveParticle approach which won't reveal example diameter, age etc. information. So this far I have implemented the following and the question is :

How can I access the parcels of the SparyCloud, which I have?

Code this far:

Code:





 Info<< "Read lagrangian data"<< endl;





        fileNameList cloudDirs

        (

            readDir

            (

                runTime.timePath()/cloud::prefix,

                fileName::DIRECTORY

            )

        );



        forAll(cloudDirs, cloudI)

        {

            // Search for list of lagrangian objects for this time

            IOobjectList objects

            (

                mesh,

                runTime.timeName(),

                cloud::prefix/cloudDirs[cloudI]

            );



            //This is the way to access the IOobject

            IOobject*  diametersOwn = objects.lookup("d");



     

/*

// SHOULD IT BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS???



            Cloud<basicSprayCloud> Parcels

            (

                mesh,

                cloudDirs[cloudI],

                false

            );

            Info << Parcels.d() << endl;

            

*/

Thanks in advance.

To reply myself and others having this problem in the future: One can proceed in the following way:

Code:

        Info<< "Read lagrangian data"<< endl;



        fileNameList cloudDirs

        (

            readDir

            (

                runTime.timePath()/cloud::prefix,

                fileName::DIRECTORY

            )

        );





        forAll(cloudDirs, cloudI)

        {

            // Search for list of lagrangian objects for this time

            IOobjectList objects

            (

                mesh,

                runTime.timeName(),

                cloud::prefix/cloudDirs[cloudI]

            );



            //accessing to the particle data, example diameter

            const scalarField& d = readParticleField<scalar>("d", objects);
