Operands

Operand	Type	Location

output	faceZone	`$FOAM_CASE/constant/polyMesh/faceZones`

Description

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

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

    // Mandatory entries
    source      setAndNormalToFaceZone;
    faceSet     <faceSetName>;
    normal      (1 0 0);
}

where the entries mean:

Property	Description	Type	Required	Default
name	Name of faceZone	word	yes	-
type	Type name: faceZone	word	yes	-
action	Action applied on faces - see below	word	yes	-
source	Source name: setAndNormalToFaceZone	word	yes	-
faceSet	Name of input faceSet	word	yes	-
normal	The normal vector for orientation	vector	yes	-

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
