Class
    Foam::functionObjects::surfaceDistance

Group
    grpFieldFunctionObjects

Description
    Computes the distance to the nearest surface from a given geometry.

    Operands:
    \table
      Operand        | Type            | Location
      input          | -               | -
      output file    | -               | -
      output field   | volScalarField  | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/surfaceDistance
    \endtable

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    surfaceDistance1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type            surfaceDistance;
        libs            (fieldFunctionObjects);

        // Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
        geometry
        {
            motorBike.obj
            {
                type triSurfaceMesh;
                name motorBike;
            }
        }

        // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
        calculateCells  true;

        // Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                           | Type | Req'd | Dflt
      type         | Type name: surfaceDistance            | word |  yes  | -
      libs         | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects    | word |  yes  | -
      geometry     | Surface details                       | dict |  yes  | -
      calculateCells  | Calculate distance from cell       | bool |  no   | true
    \endtable

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link functionObject.H \endlink

    Usage by the \c postProcess utility is not available.
