.SH "NAME"
freefoam-stitchMesh \- \*(AqStitches\*(Aq a mesh\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

\fBfreefoam stitchMesh\fR \fI<masterPatch>\fR \fI<slavePatch>\fR [\-perfect] [\-partial] [\-srcDoc] [\-doc] [\-overwrite] [\-help] [\-case \fI<dir>\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Takes a mesh and two patches and merges the faces on the two patches (if geometrically possible) so the faces become internal\&.
.sp
Can do \- \fIperfect\fR match: faces and points on patches align exactly\&. Order might be different though\&. \- \fIintegral\fR match: where the surfaces on both patches exactly match but the individual faces not \- \fIpartial\fR match: where the non\-overlapping part of the surface remains in the respective patch\&.
