Hi to everybody!
I'm trying to write a postprocessing utility that modify cell-by-cell the values of a volVectorField, like this:

forAll(ut,celli)
{
...operations...

ut[celli] += 2.0*ampU*cos(xdotk + phi)*sig;
}

where ampU, xdotk and phi are dimensionedScalar and sig a dimensionedVector.
When I compile it, wmake told me that it's wrong.
Maybe it's because ut[celli] is not the correct way to access to the cell-value of a volVectorField?
Please, help me!!!

I don't think that wmake had a
 

I don't think that wmake had a problem. It probably was the compiler. But that's nitpicking.

The problem is that the result on the right hand side is a dimensionedVector while the cell value is a plain vector. So you'll have to use the value() method to get the vector out of the dimensionedVector

Thanks Bernhard, now it works.
 

Thanks Bernhard, now it works. I'm new in OF and C++, so I'm still having difficulties in thinking in terms of classes and methods, my Fortran background makes me think in terms of vectors and functions!
I really need a paradigm-shift!!!
