Creates a cutting plane through a mesh.

Usage🔗

Basic operation of the sampledMeshedSurface surface comprises:

surfaces1
{
    type            surfaces;
    libs            (sampling);

    surfaces
    {
        mySurface1
        {
            type            sampledMeshedSurface;
            source          <source-type>;
            surface         <mySurface-file>;

            // Optional entries

            defaultValue
            {
                <field1-name>       <field1-value>;
                ...
                <field2-name>       <fieldN-value>;
                <fieldN-name>       <fieldN-value>;
            }

            keepIds         <bool>;

            maxDistance     <scalar>;

            patches         (<patch-names>);
        }
    }
}
