Class
    Foam::boundaryDataSurfaceWriter
 
Description
    A surfaceWriter for outputting to a form useable for the
    timeVaryingMapped boundary condition. This reads the data from
    constant/boundaryData/<patch> directory
 
    Typical way of working:
    - use a sampledSurface of type 'patch' (to sample a patch):
    \verbatim
    surfaces
    {
        type            surfaces;
        surfaceFormat   boundaryData;
        fields          ( p );
        surfaces
        (
            outlet
            {
                type            patch;
                patches         (outlet);
                interpolate     false;
            }
        );
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    - write using this writer.
    - move postProcessing/surfaces/outlet to constant/boundaryData/outlet
      in your destination case.
    - use a timeVaryingMappedFixedValue condition to read and interpolate
      the profile:
        type            timeVaryingMappedFixedValue;
        setAverage      false;  // do not use read average
        offset          0;      // do not apply offset to values
 
    Note:
    - with 'interpolate false' the data is on the face centres of the
      patch. Take care that a 2D geometry will only have a single row
      of face centres so might not provide a valid triangulation
      (this is what timeVaryingMappedFixedValue uses to do interpolation)
      (Alternatively use timeVaryingMappedFixedValue with mapMethod 'nearest')
