Hi all,

I will try my best to describe my problem, but it is very puzzling.

I have a runTime-selectable class that contains a volScalarField, which is constructed in the following manner:

weights_
(
    IOobject
    (
        "weights",
        mesh.time().timeName(),
        mesh,
        IOobject::NO_READ,
        IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
    ),
    mesh,
    dimensionedScalar("null", dimless, 0.0),
    "zeroGradient"
)

This is all very basic. I then I have an update function that takes the following form:

void simpleSpatialCorrections::update()
{
    weights_.internalField() += 1.0;

    weights_.correctBoundaryConditions();

//    if (mesh_.time().outputTime())
//    {
//        weights_.write();
//    }
}

I have checked that the update is actually called every single time step. The problem is that the values in the volScalarField as written to the disk equals the initial constructed values! If I change the field weights_ to "IOobject::NO_WRITE" and use the manual writing (commented part of the update method), then things works.

Furthermore, I have tried to make a small testProgram (you could term it a unit test) that only contains this one single class and its derivatives. Suddenly, the field is written correctly, so the observed error is not reproducible in a different context.

Anyone who has experienced the same behaviour and who knows a solution to it?

Kind regards,

Niels

Thank you for your attention.

I have solved the problem, because I suddenly realised that I used part of the functionality of the same class elsewhere, i.e. the field was created twice, but only updated in one of the versions. Consequently I had introduced the conflict myself.

Kind regards,

Niels
