Hi everyone, I'm trying to convert a program from openFom 3 to 6.
I don't find the function dimensionedInternalField() (https://cpp.openfoam.org/v3/a00528.html), but I find the function Internal() (https://cpp.openfoam.org/v6/classFoa...1Internal.html).
I don't understand what's the difference between the two, can I simply use Internal() instead demensionedInternalField()?

Internal is the Dimensioned part (was renamed). Primitive is the same thing without dimensions.

Not sure why you would target openfoam-6 though.

Hello Panca and olesen,

Were you able to resolve this issue? I am in the middle of updating and compiling an old solver with the current version of OF as well and am running into the same issue: the class has no member that is named "dimensionedInternalField" or "Internal". More specifically when I changed the reference inside to "Internal":

derivedFvPatchFields/solidWallHeatFluxTemperature/solidWallHeatFluxTemperatureFvPatchScalarField.C: In member function ‘virtual void Foam::solidWallHeatFluxTemperatureFvPatchScalarField::updateCoeffs()’:
derivedFvPatchFields/solidWallHeatFluxTemperature/solidWallHeatFluxTemperatureFvPatchScalarField.C:180:22: error: ‘class Foam::solidWallHeatFluxTemperatureFvPatchScalarField’ has no member named ‘Internal’
  180 |             << this->Internal().name() << " :"
      |                      ^~~~~~~~

I am currently trying to follow the path up the file hierarchy in order to see where the original member is first defined but I thought I'd ask here seeing as this problem is similar to mine.

On a more general note, is there a type of changelog that I may be able to look through in order to see where in OF version history a change was made and what the change was? I assume I will be encountering many bugs of this type (variable name and file placement changes?) as I update the code. Also appreciate any tips you may have as I am still learning.

Thank you for your time.

Changing the member name to "internalField" worked for me! Onto the next bug... The upgrade guide will be a useful reference.

Thanks for your help Mark.
