Description
Specify an include file for #calc, expects a single string to follow.
For example if functions from transform.H are used in the #calc expression
\verbatim
angleOfAttack 5; // degs
angle #calc "-degToRad($angleOfAttack)";
#calcInclude "transform.H"
liftDir #calc "transform(Ry($angle), vector(0, 0, 1))";
dragDir #calc "transform(Ry($angle), vector(1, 0, 0))";
\endverbatim
The usual expansion of environment variables and other constructs
(eg, the \c ~OpenFOAM/ expansion) is retained.

Class
Foam::functionEntries::calcEntry
Description
Uses dynamic compilation to provide calculating functionality
for entering dictionary entries.
E.g.
\verbatim
a 1.0;
b 3;
c #calc "$a*$b";
\endverbatim
Note the explicit trailing 0 ('1.0') to force a to be read (and written)
as a floating point number.
Special care is required for calc entries that include a division since
"/" is also used as the scoping operator to identify keywords in
sub-dictionaries. For example, "$a/b" expects a keyword "b" within a
sub-dictionary named "a". A division can be correctly executed by using a
space between a variables and "/", e.g.
\verbatim
c #calc "$a / $b";
\endverbatim
or "()" scoping around the variable, e.g.
\verbatim
c #calc "($a)/$b";
\endverbatim
Additional include files for the #calc code compilation can be specified
using the #calcInclude entry, e.g. if functions from transform.H are used
\verbatim
angleOfAttack 5; // degs
angle #calc "-degToRad($angleOfAttack)";
#calcInclude "transform.H"
liftDir #calc "transform(Ry($angle), vector(0, 0, 1))";
dragDir #calc "transform(Ry($angle), vector(1, 0, 0))";
\endverbatim
Note:
Internally this is just a wrapper around codeStream functionality - the
#calc string is used to construct a dictionary for codeStream.
