Hi,


I am trying to get something like sin(time().timeName()) but timeName is of type word and I couldn't find a scalar equivalent..

Anmyone has a simple solution to this?

thanks!

Hi Louis

just test

//read from runTime
scalar t=runTime.value();

//read from a field ,for example U
scalar t=U.mesh().time().value() ;

//read from mesh
scalar t=mesh.time().value();
