Add value to a Foam::volScalarField list

Hello

Is it possible to add a new value to an existing Foam::volScalarField nonuniform List<scalar>?

I have seen that a push_back() member exists for vectors in C++, but have not found a similiar member for volScalarField and I'm looking for something similar. If this is not possible, I will have to rewrite the variable in question file for each time step, but this is computationally expensive.

For example:
Pressure is created in createFields.H and is

Code:

p: dimensions      [1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0];



internalField   nonuniform List<scalar> 

32

        type            zeroGradient;

    }

    walls

    {

        type            zeroGradient;

    }

    defaultFaces

    {

        type            empty;

    }

}

So this pressure list contains 32 entries for the internal field. Is it possible to add to this, in order for it to have 36 entries. I am aware the the number of entries will not match that of the number of cells, but still need to know this.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

there's append method inherited from List class.

Thank you Alexey

Just something else out of curiosity. Have you seen anyone adding cells in a solver to the blockMesh. I am able to add new cells now in my solver, so now I just need to set the new cell variables.

Hopefully it will not end up in total disaster.

Hi,

Yes, I've seen several people. Though they were adding cells to dynamicFvMesh not to blockMesh.
