Enabling Prescribed Field for AM Geometry #713

Open cagrierciyes opened 4 months ago

cagrierciyes commented 4 months ago

The problem and the context

I tried to use Prescribed Field block via AM-geometry, and it seems that it accepts the definition of 3D profile for a given mode (e.g., Bt_m_mode_1), but only calling it once, so at the initialization step. This behaviour is not expected for a prescribed field, which should be called each timestep.

The request

I would like to be able to use uncoupled spatio-temporal prescribed field in AM-geometry too, as in Cartesian geometry.

Hello and thanks for reaching out to us. This has been implemented on the develop branch and should be available soon. We will let you know when it is released. Cheers.
