CFD Online Discussion Forums - mapFields for 3D

Hey,

I am trying to use mapFields on a cylindrical capillary mesh to transfer fields from a coarse mesh to a finer mesh. My solver is interFoam. mapFields runs to completion when I just use the command mapFields with an empty mapFieldsDict file but when I start the solver I get the following error

Code:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 



    valueInternalCoeffs cannot be called for a calculatedFvPatchField

    on patch INLET1 of field alpha.water in file "/var/scratch/psrikant/c120_v4_0_flush_450000/1/alpha.water"

    You are probably trying to solve for a field with a default boundary condition.



    From function calculatedFvPatchField<Type>::valueInternalCoeffs(const tmp<scalarField>&) const

    in file /home/roger/a/psrikant/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.x/src/finiteVolume/lnInclude/calculatedFvPatchField.C at line 154.



FOAM exiting

On checking the alpha.water file I found that for all the boundary fields the alpha condition is set as calculated uniform 0.

When I run mapFields with the -consistent option as the geometry is the same I get the following error

Code:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:

Not Implemented

Aborted (core dumped)

This error shows up while it is interpolating the alpha.water field. I also tried specifying the boundaries in the mapFieldsDict file and I get the same error.

Please help me out here. Thank you very much in advance.
