Hello FOAMers!

I try to connect inlet and outlet of my flow domain with a cyclic/cyclicAMI bc. (picture attached)

When I define the bc as follows, the patches point in the opposite direction.
Code:
    inlet
    {
        type cyclicAMI;
        neighbourPatch outlet;
        transform        rotational;
        rotationAxis     (0 0 1);
        rotationCentre   (11.25e-3 11.25e-3 0.5e-3); // center of domain
        //rotationAngle    180;
        faces
        (
            (0 10 12 2)
            (2 12 14 4)
        );
    }
A possible solution would be to transform two times (one as above and one to flip the direction), but when I define another transform type, the first one gets overwritten.
Another solution would be to extend the domain, what I want to avoid.

Maybe there is a very simple way to fix this and I just don't want to see it

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Best regards!
