I've been working on modifying the solidParticle library and solidParticleFoam solver. I want to add particles programatically but when I use the code:

Code:
particles.addParticle //particles is the instance of my "solidParticleCloud" class
(
    new solidParticle 
    (
        mesh,
        vector(1E-3, 10E-3, 0),
        0,
        0,
        0,
        1E-6,
        vector(25, 0, 0)
    )
);
I get strange issues with the non-lagrangian field interpolation. The velocity values at the particle locations are wildly different than what they should be. I do not get this issue when I supply the particle properties using the ASCII files. Also, if I use the "particles.writeFields()" method, the added particles' properties are all output correctly as ASCII files.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be? I'm stumped and have been trying to figure it out for a few days now.

Thanks,

Eric
