CFDEMcoupling version 3.6.1

Every time I see that function
char* AnyDataExchangeClass::wordToChar(word& inWord) const
{
return const_cast(inWord.c_str());
}
it cuts me to the quick.
This is most probably one of the ugliest and most unnecessary functions in CFDEMcoupling. In oneWayVTK.C you don't need it at all (first you cast away the const, then you assign the result to a const pointer ...). In other files it tries to fix the issue at the wrong end. Instead of casting away the const, the functions that take the char* should be changed to accept const char* instead. Results in much cleaner code and expresses the programmers intentions.

No offense!

Hi Josef,

Thank you for updating! But I get a:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
the solver calls for resetMomSourceField() although you use IB method where this is not needed!
, check your solver! - PANIC -
File not found!, "/home/cg/CFDEM/CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC-3.0.x/tutorials/cfdemPostproc/cg_fillCylinder/CFD/../DEM/post/liggghts_init1000.vtk"

I guess it is related to:

dump dmp all custom/vtk 1000 post/liggghts_init*.vtk id type type x y z ix iy iz vx vy vz fx fy fz omegax omegay omegaz radius

Do I have to change something in my LIGGGHTS installation for vtk?!?

Thanks a lot!
