Description🔗

The mappedFixedValue is a generic boundary condition that maps the value at a set of cells or patch faces back to the local patch.

The sample mode is set by the underlying mapping engine, provided by the mappedPatchBase class.

Usage🔗

The condition requires entries in both the boundary and field files.

Boundary file🔗

<patchName>
{
    type            mappedPatch;
    ...
}

Field file🔗

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type                    mappedFixedValue;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
}

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

• Foam::fixedValueFvPatchField

• Foam::mappedFixedValueFvPatchField

• It is not possible to sample internal faces since volume fields are not defined on faces.
