Dear all,

I am trying to use the mapField command.

Indeed, it works pretty well.

The point is that I get an error when I try to launch the buoyantSimpleFoam command.

The error is the following:

Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot,

Hi Samuele,

Were you able to resolve this ? I have the same issue.

Especially I want to convert the fixed Value ( zero) pressure outlet to fixed flux pressure or zerogradient and I have the simulation being run. When I tried to map to the test cases with new boundary conditions, it gives the same error.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
