Hi everyone,

I used the third party software in my solver. In my code first I create all fields, then I use the other code that will give me the fields and boundary conditions value (here fix value boundary condition I meant). I would like to update the value of boundary conditions before the OpenFOAM main loop. Also, it should use the new value during the whole calculation.


Could you please tell me how I could solve this problem?

Is there any chance for you to provide further details, please? It is a bit vague description of the problem, IMHO.

Dear HPE,
I solve a scalar transport equation in my solver to find the distribution of species concentration. The concentration fields are created and initialized using constant value boundary condition for the inlet as followed:
...
inlet
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 5;
}
...
before the main loop, I will calculate a more precise value for concentration from another package which is coupled with OpenFOAM (let say the new value is 5.3). Now I would like to set the boundary condition to the value that I receive from the reaction package (here 5.3). I can do it manually if the cases are few, which are not!



Any idea how could I solve this problem?

[HPE]

Is this value time-varying or constant throughout a single simulation? Or you have many simulations with different constant values?

OpenFOAM provides many boundary conditions for such cases, so I'm pretty sure you can do as such in OF.

After replacing the value at the initialization step, it should remain constant throughout the whole simulation.
