I'm trying to read in a vector, eg. the point of the rotating center, from a dictionary and to initialize it as constant of a application, eg. A.I have susscceful to define a scaler

scalar omega=0;
omega=readScalar(myDict.lookup("omega");

And now i want to do the same thing for a vector, but when i use readVector instead of readScaler, the error is that: the readVector is not declared, so i do not know how to declare it ?

And I know there is also a dimensionedVecotr , so I try
const vector r (0,0,0)
dimensionedVector(myDict.looup("r");

in the case ,i can compile it but in the result ,the real value of r in myDIct is not read, it just use the (0,0,0) .so could you tell me the reasons or give me some suggestion.

Thank you so much

Best regards

Did you try something like:

dimensionedVector r(myDict.looup("r"));

or

const vector r(myDict.looup("r"));

louvel,

Did you managed to read the files from the controlDict ? I also created my own application, however, still struggling to read the vectors ..

Something like this should work:

vector r (dict.lookup("r"));
