Hello,

I use pyFoam's WriteParameterFile to write to the files in 0 directory (U, p, ...)

field_file = WriteParameterFile(field_name), className=_OF_units[field_name][1])
field_file["internalField"] = internalField
field_file["dimensions"] = dimensions

boundaryField = {}
# Fill boundaryField in a loop

field_file["boundaryField"] = boundaryField
field_file.writeFile()

My problem is that in thesulting field there is the boundaryField first and after that dimensions and internalField. Since I use $internalField as a value to several BCs this a problem since it can't be referenced before used. I also tried and changed the order in which I write I set the dictionaries entries in the field_file but it changed nothing.

Is there a way to change the order? It have to, cause the pyFoamCaseBuilder uses the "correct" order. (though python dictionaries do not have any order...)

Thanks!

Ok, kind of an addendum. I found that piece of code:

        if type(dic)==DictProxy:
            order=dic._order
        else:
            order=dic.keys()
            order.sort()

in PyFoam.Basics.FoamFileGenerator.FoamFileGenerator. strDict. So it seems to I need to use PyFoam DictProxy objects... Is that correct so far?
