The FOAM file format has not changed from version 2.0 in many years and so there
is no longer a need for the 'version' entry in the FoamFile header to be
required and to reduce unnecessary clutter it is now optional, defaulting to the
current file format 2.0.
Specifying a plane with which to subset feature edges is now done using
the same dictionary syntax used elsewhere in OpenFOAM. For example, in
system/surfaceFeaturesDict:
subsetFeatures
{
// Include only edges that intersect the plane
plane
{
planeType pointAndNormal;
point (0 0 0);
normal (1 0 0);
}
...
}
For complex geometries the calculation of surface face and point "closeness" can
be quite time consuming and usually only one or other is required; the new
options allow the user to specify which should be calculated and written.
