create volTensorField from volScalarField
 

Hi does anyone have an idea how to create a volTensorField from volScalarField.

For instance I have volScalarField a and want to create the following volTensorField:

random example:

[a , 0 ,0,
a, 0 ,0,
0, 0, a]

How do I program this?

You could always set each value explicitly; e.g.
but in your case, what about something like this:
or more directly
In all cases, a is a volScalarField and T a volTensorField.

Hi David,

no I solved it like this:

volTensorField T
(
IOobject
(
"Transform",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh
//IOobject::NO_READ
//IOobject::NO_WRITE
),
mesh,
tensor(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)
);
T=tensor(0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0)+(tensor(0,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)*sin(theta))+(tensor(0,0,1,0,0,0,0 ,0,0)*cos(theta))+(tensor(0,0,0,0,-1,0,0,0,0)*cos(theta))+(tensor(0,0,0,0,0,-1,0,0,0)*sin(theta));
T.write();

Where theta is a volScalarField.

So there really is no constructor which can handle volScalarFields as an argument I guess.

P.S. How do I post code like you? Couldn't find how to do it but it looks more nice.

If you are posting with the WYSIWYG forum editor, use the '#' from the toolbar. This wraps "[ CODE ]" ... "[/ CODE ]" tags around the selected text, but of course without the spaces that I've need to add in order to post it.

Ok, thanks!
