Hi foamers.

I'm working on the implementation of a pressure boundary condition in OpenFoam2012 and would like to update it at the conclusion of the inner pimple cycle (finalInnerIteration). Is it feasible to perform this within a boundary condition?

I noticed that, from the pimple.C file, the object 'pimple' comes from 'createPimpleControl.H' and depends on 'mesh':

 pimpleControl pimple(mesh)

but if i obtain mesh information and create the 'pimple' object with:

 
fvMesh& mesh = this->patch().boundaryMesh().mesh();
pimpleControl pimple(mesh);

I receive this error:

In instantiation of ‘void Foam:: pressureInletOutletWkFvPatchField<Type>::updateCoe ffs() [with Type = Foam::Tensor<double>]’:
pressureInletOutletWkFvPatchField.C:163:6: required from here
pressureInletOutletWkFvPatchField.C:172:18: error: binding reference of type ‘Foam::fvMesh&’ to ‘const Foam::fvMesh’ discards qualifiers
172 | pimpleControl pimple(mesh);


I believe this is related to the fact that the pimpleControl constructor expects a non-const object.

Thank you in advance for your response.

After many attempts I solved the problem with the following lines of code:

const pimpleControl& pc = db().lookupObject<pimpleControl>
(
      "solutionControl"
);

After that, i'm able to call all the functions contain in "pimpleControl.H".


Perhaps these last lines of code may also be useful to others.
