NAME

       freefoam-combinePatchFaces - Checks for multiple patch faces on same cell and combines
       them.

SYNOPSIS

       freefoam combinePatchFaces <feature angle [0..180]> [-concaveAngle <angle [0..180]>]
       [-help] [-srcDoc] [-doc] [-overwrite] [-parallel] [-case <dir>] [-snapMesh]

DESCRIPTION

       These result from e.g. refined neighbouring cells getting removed, leaving 4 exposed faces
       with same owner.

       Rules for merging: - only boundary faces (since multiple internal faces between two cells
       not allowed anyway) - faces have to have same owner - faces have to be connected via edge
       which are not features (so angle between them < feature angle) - outside of faces has to
       be single loop - outside of face should not be (or just slightly) concave (so angle
       between consecutive edges < concaveangle

       E.g. to allow all faces on same patch to be merged:

       combinePatchFaces .. cavity 180 -concaveAngle 90
