Hello Andrea,

The definition you show here, from your ./constant/polyMesh/boundary file, is fine to use with the nearestCell keyword.

If you want to use the nearestPatchFace keyword, you will have to specify a sample patch to the samplePatch switch, instead of none.

I also understand that there is a bug under investigation associated with the use of the nearestFace keyword.

Let me know if this solves your problem.

Kind regards,

Francois.

Now I'm confident about the meaning of the offset value. Anyway, only the sample mode "nearestCell" seems working for my application. NEARESTFACE and NEARESTPATCHFACE model are not working. I'm not sure of what I'm doing wrong,

Regards
