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
Note: is just a driver for meshDualiser. Substitute your own simpleMarkFeatures to have different behaviour.
