Hi all,

I am trying to access the boundaryField of velocity and modify that and use it for the next time step calculations. I read in the post New problem in version 4.0! The boundary field become read only! that we have to use boundaryFieldRef inorder to access it, else it throws an error saying the field is read only. I did as suggested but still the values are not reflected on the output. Are Ref fields only for reference and not for next time step or post-processing?

Below is my piece of code in the solver that converts a scalarField'Jw' into a vectorField 'U'.

 label upMem = mesh.boundaryMesh().findPatchID("upperMembrane");
forAll( U.boundaryFieldRef()[upMem], i)
{
	U.boundaryFieldRef()[upMem][i].component(vector::X) = 0;
	U.boundaryFieldRef()[upMem][i].component(vector::Y) = 0;
	U.boundaryFieldRef()[upMem][i].component(vector::Z) = Jw.boundaryFieldRef()[upMem][i];

}

I was using noSlip boundary condition for U on the patches where I wanted to change the values. When I changed it to fixed Value (0,0,0), the code that I wrote in the solver was implemented. Hope that helps anyone else with similar issue!
