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>

           TODO Detailed description of argument.

       <slavePatch>

           TODO Detailed description of argument.

       -perfect
           The patches, vertices and face centres are perfectly aligned.

       -partial
           The surface overlap only partialy.

       -overwrite
           Overwrite existing data.

       -case <dir>
           Case directory.

       -help
           Display help message.

       -doc
           Display Doxygen API documentation page for this application.

       -srcDoc
           Display Doxygen source documentation page for this application.

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 }
