Hello everyone !!


I have a problem using mapFields. My source mesh size is 149.310 and my target mesh size is 8.958.600, it's a lot ^_^'



Unfortunately, it's seems that mapFields returns a fields with only 4.777.920. I got this message.

Found 8695120 cells outside of the addressing
Cell addressing size = 8958600

Mapping fields for time 429.02503239793

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
size 4777920 is not equal to the given value of 8958600
Can you help me to find a solution ? Is it possible to run it in parallel or something like that ?



Thank you

Strangely, I got the same with much smaller mesh. This time, I had more value than required by the target mesh. It's very weird

From my limited experience with mapFields, I found that it was very important to have a correct, consistent initial set of files in the 0 time folder, to map onto. When I screwed up, with say an outdated swak4Foam list for the inlet with the wrong number of entries in the list for the mesh I was trying to map onto, I got a similar error message.

I wonder if you have a set of initial fields in your target case 0 folder that are for a model size of 4777920? This would explain why it is complaining that this does not match your mesh size of 212800, etc. Regardless - my advice is check carefully your 0 folder files in the target case.
