Detailed Description

Extract patch or faceZone surfaces from a polyMesh. Depending on output surface format triangulates faces.

Original source file surfaceMeshExtract.C

Region numbers on faces not guaranteed to be the same as the patch indices.

Optionally only extracts named patches.

Optionally filters out points on faceZones, feature-edges and featurePoints and generates pointPatches for these - written to pointMesh/boundary.

If run in parallel, processor patches get filtered out by default and the mesh is merged (based on topology).

• -exclude-patches NAME | LIST

  Exclude single or multiple patches (name or regex) from extraction

• -excludeProcPatches

  Exclude processor patches (default if parallel)

• -featureAngle <angle>

  Extract feature edges/points and put into separate point-patches

• -extractZonePoints
