mappedFixedValue

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
    ...
}

where:

Property	Description	Type	Required	Default
type	Type name: mappedFixedValue	word	yes	-

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

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