Application
    stitchMesh
 
Description
    Utility to stitch or conform pairs of patches,
    converting the patch faces either into internal faces
    or conformal faces or another patch.
 
Usage
    \b stitchMesh (<list of patch pairs>)
 
    E.g. to stitch patches \c top1 to \c top2 and \c bottom1 to \c bottom2
        stitchMesh "((top1 top2) (bottom1 bottom2))"
 
    Options:
      - \par -noOverwrite \n
        Do not replace the old mesh with the new one, writing the new one
        into a separate time directory
 
      - \par -region <name>
        Specify an alternative mesh region.
 
      - \par -fields
        Update vol and point fields
 
      - \par -tol
        Merge tolerance relative to local edge length (default 1e-4)
