CFD Online Discussion Forums - create an IOobject with the mesh surfaces

Hello everyone,

I am trying to do something that should be quite easy with no success. My idea is to create an IOobject with the values of the surfaces of hte mesh elements. I am modifying the scalar transport solver. In the createFields.h, I added:

Code:

surfaceScalarField faceSurfs

 (

     IOobject

     (

         "faceSurfs",

         runTime.timeName(),

         mesh,

         IOobject::NO_READ,

         IOobject::AUTO_WRITE

     ),

     mesh,

     dimensionedScalar("zero", dimArea, 0.0)

 );



 faceSurfs.ref() = mesh.magSf();

However this calculate the areas only of the elements of the internal mesh and not on the boundary faces. Anyone can help? it is quite urgent :confused: :confused:

Thanks!
