Detailed 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):

surfaces
{
    type            surfaces;
    surfaceFormat   boundaryData;
    fields          ( p );
    surfaces
    (
        outlet
        {
            type            patch;
            patches         (outlet);
            interpolate     false;
        }
    );
}

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')
