Hello all,

I am new to and still learning OpenFOAM as well as C++.

I am coming across an issue where when compiling it is telling me that my variables are not being declared. Even though they definitely are... well at least they seemingly are to me, based on other languages I've coded in.

An example of this:

#include "setRootCase.H"
#include "createTime.H"
#include "createMeshes.H"

will result in the error: ‘adjustTimeStep’ was not declared in this scope

adjustTimeStep is declared in setRootCase.H. This issue can be resolved by taking everything in the header file and just pasting it in the main C file.

const bool adjustTimeStep =
    runTime.controlDict().lookupOrDefault("adjustTimeStep", false);

scalar maxCo =
    runTime.controlDict().lookupOrDefault<scalar>("maxCo", 1.0);

scalar maxDeltaT =
    runTime.controlDict().lookupOrDefault<scalar>("maxDeltaT", GREAT);	
#include "CourantNo.H"
#include "setDeltaT.H"

Well, that works but still, all of my scalarFields, vectorFields, etc are having the same issue. (And yes, I should have all of the correct files in my Make folder)

Is there something I am missing about programming in openFOAM or c++ where my variables are only declared temporarily but then forgotten?

Any help is appreciated, as I have searched the forums and google but haven't found anything (maybe as to not using the right keywords as I'm not exactly sure what the issue is).

I have found a similar issue with some additional information that may be related to mine.

at this rate I think I can figure out what is going wrong as it seems like some sort of basic issue. Maybe not being declared in the correct scope. I will update after I solve the issue (hopefully at least)

Did you ever make any progress on this? Im struggling with a similar issue. In this case modifying chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam
