Hi foamers I would appreciate any kind of help. I am trying to mapfields between to meshes with the same geometry but different number of patches/boundarys. The geometry is just a simple channel and the different number of patches is necessary!


For example
Source mesh 1:

I know that I can not use mapFields <source case> -consistent because I have a different number of patches but I do not know how to resolve the problem with mapFieldsdict.
Thanks in advance!!!!
