Detailed Description

Utility to change dictionary entries, e.g. can be used to change the patch type in the field and polyMesh/boundary files.

Original source file changeDictionary.C

Reads dictionaries (fields) and entries to change from a dictionary. E.g. to make the movingWall a fixedValue for p but all other Walls a zeroGradient boundary condition, the system/changeDictionaryDict would contain the following:

dictionaryReplacement
{
    p                           // field to change
    {
        boundaryField
        {
            ".*Wall"            // entry to change
            {
                type            zeroGradient;
            }
            movingWall          // entry to change
            {
                type            fixedValue;
                value           uniform 123.45;
            }
        }
    }
}

Replacement entries starting with '~' will remove the entry.
