Another question on scalarCodedSource

Hi everybody,

I have another question on the scalarCodedSource. The usage example is something like:

Code:

    energySource

    {

        type            scalarCodedSource;



        active          yes;



        name    sourceTime;



        scalarCodedSourceCoeffs

        {

            selectionMode   all;



            fields          (h);



            codeInclude

            #{



            #};

 

         …

I do not understand the "name" keyword. It don't seem to be free for choosing. What are the different names I am allowed to specify and what is the meaning for my source term?

Kind regards,
J.
