Dear All,

I need to obtain field dimensions from a field or from a dimensionedScalar.
Are there a method to obtaint the dimensions vector?
For example:

volScalarField field1(...);
dimesionedScalar var2(...);
...
vector dim1 = field1.dimensions();
vector dim2 = var2.dimensions();

I didn't find a way with google.
Thank you in advance.

What do you need it for? A quick search of the code for something.dimesions() returns a lot of hits, so an easy way to check will be :

Code:
Info << "Dimensions : " << s.dimensions() << nl <<endl;
If you want to be able to use it, you can create a dummy variable (for eg a scalar) I think like

Code:
dimensionedScalar(tmp,s.dimensions(),SMALL)
