2 Synopsis

polyDualMesh [OPTIONS] ANGLE

3 Description

Calculate the dual of a polyMesh. Adheres to all the feature and patch edges.

Detects any boundary edge (angle > ANGLE) and creates multiple boundary faces for it. Normal behaviour is to have each point become a cell (1.5 behaviour).

-concaveMultiCells

Split cells on concave boundary edges into multiple cells. Might limit the amount of distortion on some meshes.

-doNotPreserveFaceZones

Disable the default behaviour of preserving faceZones by having multiple faces inbetween cells

-splitAllFaces

Normally only constructs a single face between two cells. This single face might be too distorted. splitAllFaces will create a single face for every original cell the face passes through. The mesh will thus have multiple faces inbetween two cells! (so is not strictly upper-triangular anymore - checkMesh will complain)

-overwrite

Overwrite the existing mesh files

-noZero

Exclude the 0 directory from the times list

-time RANGES

Select time steps. RANGES follows the time selection rules

-latestTime

Apply only on the latest time available

-constant

Include the constant directory in the times list

-case DIR

Execute the command on the case directory DIR. If not provided, use the current directory

-noFunctionObjects

Skip the execution of the functionObjects

-help

Display the help and exit
