In pointPatchField, how to read coordinate values of mesh

nbyjn · December 18, 2014, 08:35

Hello foamers:
I want to write a new boundary based on oscillatingDisplacementPointPatchField. I want to give this boundary different values based on the mesh's coordinate values. Not a single value of the patch's coordinate, I mean different values on different girds. In this field, I can't use mesh.C() because "mesh" is not defined.
Do you have any idea? Thank you!

I don't understand exactly what you are trying to do, but

http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-registry.html

that topic shows how you can access the mesh.

I hope that helps.
