Application
    createExternalCoupledPatchGeometry.

Group
    grpPreProcessingUtilities

Description
    Generate the patch geometry (points and faces) for use
    with the externalCoupled functionObject.

Usage
    \verbatim
    createExternalCoupledPatchGeometry <patchGroup> [OPTION]
    \endverbatim

    \param -commsDir <commsDir> \n
    Specify an alternative communications directory (default is comms
    in the case directory)

    \param -region <name> \n
    Specify an alternative mesh region.

    \param -regions (<name1> .. <nameN>) \n
    Specify alternative mesh regions. The region names will be sorted
    alphabetically and a single composite name will be created
        <nameX>_<nameY>.._<nameZ>

    On execution, the combined patch geometry (points and faces) are output
    to the communications directory.

Note:
    The addressing is patch-local, i.e. point indices for each patch point
    used for face addressing starts at index 0.
