Dear Foamers,

I am working with a multiRegion geometry and I am finding it a bit difficult to set the different patches interfaces. Let's open the constant/region1/polyMesh/boudary file and let's analyze this part of the code:

Code:
    region1_to_region2
    {
        type            mappedWall;
        nFaces          150;
        startFace       48925;
        sampleMode      nearestPatchFace;
        sampleRegion    roof;
        samplePatch     roof_to_door;
        offsetMode      uniform;
        offset          (0 0 0);
    }
I would like to know what the different field mean.

Also, as far as the type, sampleMode and offsetMode fields are concerned, which are the different options?
Could you help?

Thanks a lot,

Samuele
