Solve Ax=b
 

Hi,

I searched the forum but couldn't find a similar problem respectively an answer.
I'm running a simulation that stores its results in a volScalarField b ∈ R^n and a volVectorField A ∈ R^{nxn}.
The mathematically relation between them is A*x = b, which I want to solve for x. In another project I used a solver from the Eigen libary but now I want to calculate it in OpenFOAM.

It is possible to solve this linear equation or do I need to use a fvMatrix type for A ?

For everyone with the same problem:

The example in application/test/Matrix/Test-Matrix.C helped a lot. Now I'm copying the values from the vol*Field to the corresponding datatypes and solve the system.

Dear Rutger,

Have a look to the eigen value solver given in Tensor.C file. I think this will help you.

Best Luck!

Thanks, I will have a look at it.
