Mapping surface from one case as timeVaryingMappedFixedValue
 
Good evening alltogether...

I was wondering the following thing ....

I have a big case in which a turbulent flow field evolves over time and I have a smaller
case in which I would like to use a small part of the big case (like a cut-out-surface)
as inflow.

I thought now if it might be possible to cut a surface out of the flow field using "surfaces"
from libsamling but using it on a cellSet that I defined with topoSet and save it.
That seems to be possible ... right? Is it?

I was also wondering if it afterwards will be possible to somehow map those slices
to the smaller case using timeVaryingMappedFixedValue on the inlet. Would that be
possible?

I think the cells have to kind of line up right? Anybody out there who did something like
that and could give me a hint?

Thanks a lot!

Best, Thomas
