NAME
       surfaceMeshExtract - part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox).


SYNOPSIS
       surfaceMeshExtract [OPTIONS] output


DESCRIPTION
       Extract patch or faceZone surfaces from a polyMesh. The name is historical, it
       only triangulates faces when the output format requires it.
