Create new object

Hi Foamer,

I am trying to create a new object of the type "interfaceHeatResistance". This class inherits from the "temperaturePhaseChangeTwoPhaseMixture" class.

However, in the createFields file the object mixture is created with:

Code:

Info<< "Creating temperaturePhaseChangeTwoPhaseMixture\n" << endl;

autoPtr<temperaturePhaseChangeTwoPhaseMixture> mixture =

    temperaturePhaseChangeTwoPhaseMixture::New(thermo(), mesh);

based on

Code:

   // Selectors



        //- Return a reference to the selected phaseChange model

        static autoPtr<temperaturePhaseChangeTwoPhaseMixture> New

        (

            const thermoIncompressibleTwoPhaseMixture& mixture,

            const fvMesh& mesh

        );





    // Constructors



        //- Construct from components

        temperaturePhaseChangeTwoPhaseMixture

        (

            const thermoIncompressibleTwoPhaseMixture& mixture,

            const fvMesh& mesh

        );





    //- Destructor

    virtual ~temperaturePhaseChangeTwoPhaseMixture() = default;

Does anyone of you know how I can create an "interfaceheatresistance" object?

Code:

   // Constructors



        //- Construct from components

        interfaceHeatResistance

        (

            const thermoIncompressibleTwoPhaseMixture& mixture,

            const fvMesh& mesh

        );

I am not an expert in C++ and still learning.

you are supposed to create a pointer to the thermo(...) abstract class using the selector you show (New), in order to make use of the inheritance hierarchy derived from the base class. If you create the objects directly you may induce additional overhead. It may also mess with the object registry mechanism. So in short, follow the example you just shown.
