Contrib/MakeAxialMesh

1 Short description

Creates a axial-symmetric grid from a two-dimensional grid

2 Usage

Needs two inputs:

1. name of the boundary that is the symmetry axis
2. name of the boundary that is to be splitted into two wedge-boundaries (front and back)

Assumes the following about the grid:

• 2D-Grid (just one cell thick)
• parallel to the XY-plane
• the boundary that is the symmetry axis is a straight line
• the "front" and "back" are one patch

Afterwards: use the collapseEdges utility to remove the faces at the symmetry axis
