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 -partial -overwrite -case <dir> -help -doc -srcDoc

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 }
