Class
    Foam::functionObjects::mapFields

Group
    grpFieldFunctionObjects

Description
    Maps input fields from local mesh to secondary mesh at runtime.

    Operands:
    \table
      Operand      | Type                       | Location
      input        | {vol,surface}<Type>Field <!--
                                    --> | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<inpField>
      output file  | -                          | -
      output field | {vol,surface}<Type>Field <!--
                                    --> | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<outField>
    \endtable

    where \c <Type>=Scalar/Vector/SphericalTensor/SymmTensor/Tensor.

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    mapFields1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type            mapFields;
        libs            (fieldFunctionObjects);

        // Mandatory (inherited) entries (runtime modifiable)
        fields          (<field1> <field2> ... <fieldN>);
        mapRegion       coarseMesh;
        mapMethod       cellVolumeWeight;
        consistent      true;

        // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
        // patchMapMethod  direct;  // AMI-related entry

        // When consistent=false

            // Manual: createPatchMap false;
            // patchMap        (<patchSrc> <patchTgt>);
            // cuttingPatches  (<patchTgt1> <patchTgt2> ... <patchTgtN>);

            // Automatic: createPatchMap true;
            // Creates the patchMap and cuttingPatches automatically

        // Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                        | Type | Req'd | Dflt
      type         | Type name: mapFields               | word |  yes  | -
      libs         | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects | word |  yes  | -
      fields       | Names of operand fields            | wordList |  yes  | -
      mapRegion    | Name of region to map to           | word |  yes  | -
      mapMethod    | Mapping method                     | word |  yes  | -
      consistent   | Mapping meshes have consistent boundaries | bool  | yes | -
      patchMapMethod | Patch mapping method for AMI cases | word |  no  | -
      createPatchMap | Automatically create patchMap and cuttingPatches|  <!--
                 --> | bool | no | -
      patchMap     | Mapping between coincident source and target patches <!--
               --> | wordHashTable | no | -
      cuttingPatches | Target patches cutting the source domain <!--
                 --> | wordList | no | -
    \endtable

    Options for the \c mapMethod entry:
    \verbatim
      direct
      mapNearest
      cellVolumeWeight
      correctedCellVolumeWeight
    \endverbatim

    Options for the \c patchMapMethod entry:
    \verbatim
      nearestFaceAMI
      faceAreaWeightAMI
    \endverbatim

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link functionObject.H \endlink

    Usage by the \c postProcess utility is not available.
