Hi,

I'm trying to use the patchToPatch interpolation to map fields in a FSI solver at the interface between a solid and fluid with non-conformed mesh. The problem is that the mesh of the structure is a 2D mesh, thus it can't be declared in OpenFOAM as it is. How I can get around this?

Thanks

So far I managed to code the interpolator:

patchToPatchInterpolation fromFluid_To_Solid_Interpolate
(
mesh.boundaryMesh()[fluidPatchID], // from patch
meshSolid.boundaryMesh()[fluidPatchID] // to patch
);

Then I started creating the solid interface patch:

Foam::fvMesh meshSolid
(
Foam::IOobject
(
Foam::fvMesh::defaultRegion,
runTime.constant(),
runTime,
Foam::IOobject::NO_READ
)
);

meshSolid.points() == pointsSolid;
meshSolid.boundaryMesh()[solidPatchID] == cellsSolid;

by the way the points and cells in the "meshSolid" appear to be the same of the standard "mesh", even thought i set NO_READ in the constructor.
Could you give me an hint please?

Thanks
