18 // This application/dictionary controls:
19 // - optional: create new patches from boundary faces (either given as
20 // a set of patches or as a faceSet)
21 // - always: order faces on coupled patches such that they are opposite. This
22 // is done for all coupled faces, not just for any patches created.
23 // - optional: synchronise points on coupled patches.
26 // - specify where the faces should come from
27 // - specify the type of cyclic. If a rotational specify the rotationAxis
28 // and centre to make matching easier
29 // - pointSync true to guarantee points to line up.
31 // 2. Correct incorrect cyclic:
32 // This will usually fail upon loading:
33 // "face 0 area does not match neighbour 2 by 0.0100005%"
34 // " -- possible face ordering problem."
35 // - change patch type from 'cyclic' to 'patch' in the polyMesh/boundary file.
36 // - loosen match tolerance to get case to load
37 // - regenerate cyclic as above
40 // Tolerance used in matching faces. Absolute tolerance is span of
41 // face times this factor. To load incorrectly matches meshes set this
45 // Do a synchronisation of coupled points after creation of any patches.
