freefoam-stitchMesh(1)

NAME

freefoam-stitchMesh - 'Stitches' a mesh.

SYNOPSIS

freefoam stitchMesh <masterPatch> <slavePatch> [-perfect] [-partial] [-srcDoc] [-doc] [-overwrite] [-help] [-case <dir>]

DESCRIPTION

Takes a mesh and two patches and merges the faces on the two patches (if geometrically possible) so the faces become internal.

Can do - perfect match: faces and points on patches align exactly. Order might be different though. - integral match: where the surfaces on both patches exactly match but the individual faces not - partial match: where the non-overlapping part of the surface remains in the respective patch.

OPTIONS

<masterPatch>

<slavePatch>

-perfect

The patches, vertices and face centres are perfectly aligned.

-partial

The surface overlap only partialy.

-overwrite

Overwrite existing data.

-case <dir>

Case directory.

-help

Display help message.

-doc

Display Doxygen API documentation page for this application.

-srcDoc

Display Doxygen source documentation page for this application.

NOTE

Is just a front-end to perfectInterface/slidingInterface.

Comparable to running a meshModifier of the form (if masterPatch is called "M" and slavePatch "S"):

couple { type slidingInterface; masterFaceZoneName MSMasterZone slaveFaceZoneName MSSlaveZone cutPointZoneName MSCutPointZone cutFaceZoneName MSCutFaceZone masterPatchName M; slavePatchName S; typeOfMatch partial or integral }
