Hello,

I am writing my own scalarCodedSource term, and I need to clamp the value of a calculated variable between a min and max value. I've seen in the tutorial here:

http://https://develop.openfoam.com/...anopyTSource.C

the use of the method scalarMinMax, but I cannot find that in the source code guide. Even if I could, I am unsure how to implement it into my code.

Basically, I am wanting to do something like:

const scalarField A = (B*C)/D;
clamp(A, min, max);

Is there a way to do this? I have tried

A = min(A, minValue)

to set a minimum, but I don't know if it's doing the correct thing.

try:
A=max(min(A,maxval),minval). max clips the minimum value and min clips the maximum value

Using this I get:

fvOptions.energySource.scalarCodedSourceCoeffs(46): error: no instance of overloaded function "Foam::min" matches the argument list
            argument types are: (Foam::scalarField, int)
                mach = max(min(mach,1),0.1);
