Hello, I'm trying to use the sample utility to get a velocity field to use as the inlet field for a subsequent simulation.

I run sample, and get my U file from a constant plane (setting the point and normal direction), which appears to have twice the amount of values I was expecting. I looked at the file, and there are duplicates of all the values (I'm not entirely sure why this is, perhaps how I am sampling the plane?). So, I go through and delete every other line in the U vector field to eliminate the duplicates - getting a vector field which matches what I need for the inlet.

However when I take this field and set it as a nonuniform List<vector> at the inlet (as an initial condition) the result is nothing like what it should be! I'm attaching a picture of the sampled field, and then the result when I try and place this sampled field as the inlet initial condition.

Where am I going wrong in this process? My guess is something to do with the sampling/removing duplicate values, but I'm not sure what precisely I'm doing incorrectly. Thank you for your help!
