freefoam-mergeOrSplitBaffles(1)

freefoam-mergeOrSplitBaffles1

Detects faces that share points (baffles). either merge them or duplicate the points.

Usage

freefoam mergeOrSplitBaffles [-split] [-help] [-srcDoc] [-doc] [-overwrite] [-parallel] [-case <dir>] [-detectOnly]

Overview

TODO write detailed description

Options

-split

Split duplicate surfaces.

-overwrite

Overwrite existing data.

-detectOnly

Do no processing.

-case <dir>

Case directory.

-parallel

Run in parallel.

-help

Display help message.

-doc

Display Doxygen API documentation page for this application.

-srcDoc

Display Doxygen source documentation page for this application.

Note

• can only handle pairwise boundary faces. So three faces using the same points is not handled (is illegal mesh anyway)

• there is no option to only split/merge some baffles.

• surfaces consisting of duplicate faces can be topologically split if the points on the interior of the surface cannot walk to all the cells that use them in one go.

• Parallel operation (where duplicate face is perpendicular to a coupled boundary) is supported but not really tested. (Note that coupled faces themselves are not seen as duplicate faces)
