Using existing data with a refined mesh

Hello,
I'm using icoFoam to solve a 3D problem, and the simulation has to run for a long long time to get the steady state solution. But now I would like to refine my mesh for accuracy, but without starting all the way from the very beginning. My question is, how can I use the steady state solution of 'U' from the unrefined mesh for the new refined mesh? I don't want to start again from scratch with the refined mesh, so I'm hoping I can somehow use the steady state solution from the unrefined mesh as an initial solution for the refined mesh. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks! |

Hi,
you can use mapfields for that: mapFields coarseCase -case refineCase you can also look at user guide, it will help. Regards, Vincent |
