A topoSetPointSource
to select points based on relation to a surface given by an external file.
surfaceToPoint
can select based on:
Operand | Type | Location |
---|---|---|
input | typical surface file format (e.g. STL) | $FOAM_CASE/<file> |
output | pointSet | $FOAM_CASE/constant/polyMesh/sets/<set> |
Example of the surfaceToPoint
topoSet by using actions
sub-dictionary in system/topoSetDict
file:
{ // Mandatory (inherited) entries name <name>; type pointSet; action <action>; // Mandatory entries source surfaceToPoint; file <surfaceFileName>; includeInside false; includeOutside true; nearDistance 0.5; // Optional entries fileType stl; scale 2.0;
}
where the entries mean:
Property | Description | Type | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
name | Name of pointSet | word | yes | - |
type | Type name: pointSet | word | yes | - |
action | Action applied on points - see below | word | yes | - |
source | Source name: surfaceToPoint | word | yes | - |
file | The surface "filename" | word | yes | - |
includeInside | Flag to include inside points | bool | yes | - |
includeOutside | Flag to include outside points | bool | yes | - |
nearDistance | Near distance to the surface | scalar | yes | - |
fileType | The format of the surface file | word | no | "" |
scale | Surface scaling factor | scalar | no | -1 |
Options for the action
entry:
new | Create a new pointSet from selected points add | Add selected points into this pointSet subtract | Remove selected points from this pointSet
