Description

Example of the cylinderAnnulusToFace topoSet by using actions sub-dictionary in system/topoSetDict file:

{
    // Mandatory (inherited) entries
    name        <name>;
    type        faceSet;
    action      <action>;

    // Mandatory entries
    source      cylinderAnnulusToFace;
    p1          (<p1X> <p1Y> <p1Z>);
    p2          (<p2X> <p2Y> <p2Z>);
    outerRadius <radius1>;

    // Optional entries
    innerRadius <radius2>;
}

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: cylinderAnnulusToFace	word	yes	-
p1	Coordinate of one of the endpoints	vector	yes	-
p2	Coordinate of the other endpoint	vector	yes	-
outerRadius	Cylinder outer radius	scalar	yes	-
innerRadius	Cylinder inner radius	scalar	no	0

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
