- polyMesh constructor from cell shapes invoked 'removeFiles'.
This may or may not be what the caller wants or expects.
With the ParaView blockMesh viewer, this behaviour causes deletion of
all mesh data (points, faces, etc) when the viewer is refreshed.
Triggered even when just building the blockMesh topology.
- only a few places that construct a polyMesh from cell shapes
(mostly mesh conversion utilities).
Ensure that the file removal (if any) occurs in the application
and *not* as a side-effect of calling the polyMesh constructor.

blockMesh (application)
- The placement of the removeFiles seems to also remove freshly
generated sets (Bug or feature to remove sets?)

Notes for fluentMeshToFoam with zone preservation
#################################################
1. New option added:
- writeSets:
Writes all Fluent boundaries faceSets preserving Fluent names
Writes all Fluent regions to cellSets preserving Fluent names
lines: 1375 - 1393 & 1673 - 1741
sets are useful for post-processing using foamToVTK with the "-faceSet
<name>" and "-cellSet <name>" options.
- writeZones:
Writes all regions to cellZones preserving Fluent names
Writes all region internal face to faceZones preserving Fluent names
lines: 1545 - 1667
Zones are usefull for porous media and MRF calculations
2. Zone Access
- Zones are simple lists of label lists that can be accessed from polyMesh
with the cellZones(), faceZones() and pointZones() member functions
- Example (Members from polyMesh.H and ZoneMesh.H):
const labelList& thisCellZone = mesh.cellZones()["thisZoneName"];
- Zone integrity is preserved during mesh modification and decompomposition.
- Once created via addZones, zones allow modification through non-const
access
3. Fluent boundary types.
- All internal and baffle elements are ignored during conversion
- Boundary faces labelled as internal (i.e. interior, interface, internal,
solid, fan, radiator, porous-jump) but that are in fact external boundaries
will be added to a default wall boundary.
