Mark Olesen cd5ca147a7 ENH: multiple surfaces, self-intersection in surfaceFeatureExtract (issue #450)
- If the dictionary is named 'surfaces', a 'surfaces' entry is mandatory.
  This is a list of wordRe, which is used to load multiple surfaces from
  constant/triSurface directory.

- Other dictionaries may contain a 'surfaces' entry.
  In which case the behaviour is as above (loading multiple surfaces).
  The dictionary name will *NOT* be taken as a surface name itself.

- Regardless of how the surfaces are loaded or features extracted,
  an additional selfIntersection test may be used.

  Eg,

    surfaces
    {
        extractionMethod    extractFromSurface;

        surfaces            (surface1.stl surface2.nas);

        // Generate features from self-intersect
        selfIntersection    true;

        // Base output name (optiona)
        output              surfaces;

        // Tolerance for self-intersect
        planarTolerance     1e-3;

        extractFromSurfaceCoeffs
        {
            includedAngle   120;

            // Do not mark region edges
            geometricTestOnly       yes;
        }
    }

Contents:

surfaceAdd
- adds to surface files. (but does not intersect or anything)

surfaceBooleanOp
- Boolean operations (add, or, xor) on closed surfaces. Probably not working.

surfaceCheck
- checks surface for incorrect topology. Checks normals of neighbouring faces.

surfaceCoarsen
- Stan Melax coarsening algorithm

surfaceConvert
- Converts surfaces to/from various formats

surfaceFind
- Finds nearest vertex and face to given point.

surfaceMeshTriangulate
- Triangulate external faces of mesh and write as surface.

surfacePointMerge
- Explicit point merge of surface.

surfaceSetOutside
- Orient normals on (closed) surface.

surfaceSmooth
- Laplacian smoothing on surface vertices

surfaceSubset
- Subsets surface

surfaceToPatch
- Applies region information of surfaces to mesh.
  Each external face of mesh gets region number of nearest surface triangle.

surfaceMeshConvert
- Similar to surfaceConvert, but uses surfMesh library
