A topoSetFaceSource
to select all faces whose face centre inside given bounding box(es).
Operand | Type | Location |
---|---|---|
output | faceSet | $FOAM_CASE/constant/polyMesh/sets/<set> |
Example of the boxToFace
topoSet by using actions
sub-dictionary in system/topoSetDict
file:
{ // Mandatory (inherited) entries name <name>; type faceSet; action <action>; // Mandatory entries source boxToFace; // Conditional mandatory entries // Select either of the below // Option-1 boxes ( (<minX> <minY> <minZ>) (<maxX> <maxY> <maxZ>) // box-1 (<minX> <minY> <minZ>) (<maxX> <maxY> <maxZ>) // box-2 ... ); // Option-2 box (<minX> <minY> <minZ>) (<maxX> <maxY> <maxZ>); // Option-3 min (<minX> <minY> <minZ>); max (<maxX> <maxY> <maxZ>); }
where the entries mean:
Property | Description | Type | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
name | Name of faceSet | word | yes | - |
type | Type name: faceSet | word | yes | - |
action | Action applied on faces - see below | word | yes | - |
source | Source name: boxToFace | word | yes | - |
Options for the action
entry:
new | Create a new faceSet from selected faces add | Add selected faces into this faceSet subtract | Remove selected faces from this faceSet
Options for the conditional mandatory entries:
Entry | Description | Type | Required | Default boxes | Multiple bounding boxes | vectorList | conditional | - box | A single bounding box | vector | conditional | - min | Minimum point for a single box | vector | conditional | - max | Maximum point for a single box | vector | conditional | -
The order of precedence among the conditional mandatory entries from the highest to the lowest is boxes
, box
or a min-max
pair (compatibility with searchableBox
).
