for consistency with the regionToCell topo set source and splitMeshRegions and
provides more logical extension to the multiple and outside point variants insidePoints,
outsidePoint and outsidePoints.
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);
}
...
}
Originally the only supported geometry specification were triangulated surfaces,
hence the name of the directory: constant/triSurface, however now that other
surface specifications are supported and provided it is much more logical that
the directory is named accordingly: constant/geometry. All tutorial and
template cases have been updated.
Note that backward compatibility is provided such that if the constant/geometry
directory does not exist but constant/triSurface does then the geometry files
are read from there.
which are now read directly from the thermophysicalProperties dictionary for
consistency with non-reacting mixture thermodynamics. The species thermo and
reactions lists can still be in separate files if convenient and included into
the thermophysicalProperties file using the standard dictionary #include.
