I've been digging through the documentation for a couple of days, I've yet to discover how or where field gets updated with new values after each iteration.

For instance in Laplacianfoam, how is the temperature field T gets updated after the fvMatrix TEqn is solved?

My intent is to override this stage and plug in my own solution to replace T.

Thanks in advance!

[EDIT] SOLVED: T[i] = val;

Zeppo will become famous soon enough
Then you don't need to solve the matrix equation at all. Just use your own values for T.

Yes, how do I do that inside a simple.loop?

I apologize I am barely even considered a beginner in OF

You want to give an initial field? Or you want to give a prescribed field? What's the point of using laplacianFoam if ypu already know T?

I apologize I haven't been clear with my purpose:
I'm using an external solver to solve the system, the solution I get in this case should replace the values of the temperature field T.

Anyway, the issue is solved, it's as simple as T[i] = solution[i]

Thank you both for your replies
