Description

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

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

    // Mandatory entries
    source      searchableSurfaceToFaceZone;
    surfaceType <surfaceTypeName>;

    // Optional entries
    surfaceName <surfaceName>;

name	Name of faceZone	word	yes	-
type	Type name: faceZone	word	yes	-
action	Action applied on faces - see below	word	yes	-
source	Source name: searchableSurfaceToFaceZone	word	yes	-
surfaceType	The searchable surface type	word	yes	-
surfaceName	Name for the IOobject	word	no	mesh-name

Options for the action entry:

new      | Create a new faceZone from selected faces of a faceZone
add      | Add selected faces of a faceZone into this faceZone
subtract | Remove selected faces of a faceZone from this faceZone
