Hi,

I am doing some co-processing in my main solver loop and would like to access the user-inputed value in the boundary condition. For example, I have a custom boundary condition with a sub-dictionary that looks like:

outlet
{
type customType;
targetConc 0.4;
value uniform 0.0;
}

I want to access the value of "targetConc" in my main cover loop (not in the BC) so that I can use it as input for other quantities I am trying to calculate.

I know how to access the fvPatchField at the outlet, but unfortunately, the scalar I defined in my BC is private data and there is no member function to access it. So, I want to re-read the value of that scalar into the top solver from the original boundary condition dictionary.

Summarizing:

How do I access the boundary condition dictionary from within the main solver?

Thanks!

Hi, have u finally found a method to do this?

Nope! I'm just reading a duplicated value from the transport dictionary (non-elegant but it works).
