Dear Foamers

I have developed a new boundary condition for a point field. In this boundary condition, I need to calculate forces that act on a specific surface; therefore, I have loaded pressure from the object registry. The code was compiled successfully but whenever I run a case with this boundary and the code wants to access to pressure field (please see below), I receive the floating-point error.

here is the code:

Code:
	const polyMesh&  pointMeshIF = this->dimensionedInternalField().mesh()();
	
	const volScalarField& p_ = pointMeshIF.thisDb().lookupObject<volScalarField>("p");

	const fvMesh& mesh = p_.mesh();

	label IDts = mesh.boundaryMesh().findPatchID(targetSurface_);
  
 	scalarField targetPatchPressureField  = p_.boundaryField()[IDts];
I could not find the actual problem, but I am sure that floating-point error is because of loading volume fields (pressure). I think it should be possible to use a volume Field in the calculation of a point field.


I will appreciate it if anyone has any idea or suggestion about this problem.

Kind regards,
Peyman
