Detailed Description

'Stitches' a mesh.

Takes a mesh and two patches and merges the faces on the two patches (if geometrically possible) so the faces become internal.

Can do

• 'perfect' match: faces and points on patches align exactly. Order might be different though.
• 'integral' match: where the surfaces on both patches exactly match but the individual faces not
• 'partial' match: where the non-overlapping part of the surface remains in the respective patch.

Note:

Is just a front-end to perfectInterface/slidingInterface.

Comparable to running a meshModifier of the form (if masterPatch is called "M" and slavePatch "S"):

couple { typeslidingInterface; masterFaceZoneName MSMasterZone slaveFaceZoneName MSSlaveZone cutPointZoneNameMSCutPointZone cutFaceZoneName MSCutFaceZone masterPatchName M; slavePatchName S; typeOfMatch partial or integral }
