[Nausea]

Hi there,

I am new to the community and looking for some insight in the topics of OpenFOAM. I already read in this forum and it looks like there are some very nice people around here solving problem after problem (: .

So here is mine:
I wrote a class for patch movement and with it it´s possible to move the patch after a function given as a high grade polynome.
The polynom is variable. The question now is, how can i read the polynom coefficients input which should be placed in the "pointDisplacement" file into OpenFOAM´s dict?

I thought about listing the coefficient in a vector, but it turned out standard vectors in OpenFoam are limited to 3 dimensions. Is there a way to overcome this?

Another idea was to place the coefficients in a scalarField, but I do not have any clue how to initialize or work with scalarFields. Could somebody provide some code for correct usage of scalarField?

Or are these 2 approaches totally wrong and there is another nice and easy way to get a lot of scalars as a list into openfoam?

I would be very happy if someone could help me.

Thanks and greetings
Fabian

two rough ideas:
1) look in fan boundary condition, it uses a function by read polynome coefficient from Dic

2) maybe u should assign a dynamic list ( look for append )
