Create a new patch at runtime for patchWave

Hello,

I am trying to create a new patch at runtime from interior faces that I can use with patchWave to calculate distances.

I looked at the utility createPatch for ideas. If I try to run createPatch using a face set (of internal faces) it returns this error:

Code:

Face 1 specified in set innerFaces is not an external face of the mesh.

This application can only repatch existing boundary faces.



    From function createPatch

    in file createPatch.C at line 725.

:eek:

Any suggestions much welcomed!

thanks,

James
