[tladd]

I am using a coded BC for an initial condition and a boundary condition (U.txt). I define omega as a parameter at the top of the file and then use it in setting the internal field via #codestream and in a rotating wall bc. I would also like to use it in a codedBC but the variable is not seen in the code. So $omega*y is interpreted as *y (an error of course). It works fine with a value (2) hardwired in (as in U.txt).

I understand that it's probably a scoping issue and we have encountered it before with coded BC's. But I was surprised it worked with codestream.

My questions are:

1) Why is the scoping different in coded BC and codestream (if that is what it is)
2) Is there any way to get a parameter defined in the BC file into the coded BC. We know how to read parameters from a dictionary but this seems overly complicated.

Thanks
