+Class
+    Foam::PatchFunction1Types::Sampled
+
+Description
+    PatchFunction1 to sample an existing field.
+
+    It is the exact functionality from mappedField boundary condition
+    with the following differences:
+    - the field name is specified. So any derived fields will have the
+    same field name to sample.
+    - if used with uniformFixedValue boundary condition there is the problem
+    that that re-evaluates instead of reading/mapping.
+
+Usage
+    \table
+        Property            | Description             | Required | Default value
+        field               | Field name              | yes      |
+        sampleMode          | how to obtain samples   | yes      |
+        sampleRegion        | mesh to sample          | no       | ""
+        samplePatch         | patch to sample         | no       | ""
+        offsetMode          | how to offset samples   | no       | uniform
+        offset              | uniform offset vector   | no       | (0 0 0)
+        interpolationScheme | interpolation method    | yes      | cell
+        setAverage          | optional average adjustment | no   | false
+        average             | optional average value  | no       |
+    \endtable
+

+    \verbatim
+    <patchName>
+    {
+        // Field to sample
+        field           U;
