Hello,

does anyone know, how to create a patch inside of a Mesh, where you can set fix values for velocity, pressure etc.

I amnaged to do it for a boundary patch, where I coul set fix values, by just editing the numbers in the boundary conditions inside 0/U etc. to be a nonuniform list like they are stored in restart files at different timesteps.

My problem is, that I fail to create a boundary patch inside the mesh, which seems rather logical to me, since boundaries are usually not inside of a mesh.
But like this I can't set fix values to that special face, since in 0/U etc.-files the values are only grouped for different boundary conditions.

I added a little drawing , to visualize the idea (I know it's not good, but it should help to understand me)

I also attached my blockMeshdict and my 0/U-file to give you an idea of what I did.

I want to put the inlet velocity distribution inside the mesh at the red marked face in the last picture
