- The writers have changed from being a generic state-less set of routines to more properly conforming to the normal notion of a writer. These changes allow us to combine output fields (eg, in a single VTK/vtp file for each timestep). Parallel data reduction and any associated bookkeeping is now part of the surface writers. This improves their re-usability and avoids unnecessary and premature data reduction at the sampling stage. It is now possible to have different output formats on a per-surface basis. - A new feature of the surface sampling is the ability to "store" the sampled surfaces and fields onto a registry for reuse by other function objects. Additionally, the "store" can be triggered at the execution phase as well
2008-10-23 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 surfaceMeshExtract - Extracts mesh patches (or faceSets) and writes as a single surface. - foamToSurface duplicates this surfaceFind - Finds nearest vertex and face to given point. 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
