Assigning a component of a volTensorField a particular value
 
Hi,

Is there any elegant way to manually assign one component of a volTensorField a particular value? Let's say we have to replace the (1,1) component of the tensor field by zero, how would you elegantly get this done?

you can assess the (1,1) via the xx() function.

if T is tensor, you can access its components via:

Code:
T.xx();
T.xy();
T.xz();
...
// etc.
You can also assign values to the components, e.g:

Code:
T.xx() = 5.0;
T.xy() = -99.0;
...
//etc
