The face's triangles are cut along the plane, split:<name>:a on its
negative side and :b on the other, both on the face's surface, with the
cut as a new edge between them and the face's edges cut where the plane
crosses them. Applied after the merges; the B-rep is unchanged.

For a body with features the sweep cannot mesh, mesh.plan replies a
decomposition: the cuts that box those features into one cell, the region,
and the commands that make the cuts and mesh the cells with pyramids. A plate
with a joined dome: 5 cuts, 17 hex cells swept together, the dome cell tet,
valid and conforming, end displacement in tension within 0.4% of all-tet.

With "transition": "pyramid" (the default; "tie" keeps the old join) a tet
cell is meshed after the hex cells, with a pyramid on every hex face of its
cuts and its tetrahedra on the pyramids' sides: one conforming mesh, no tie.
Where it cannot be built the cell says why (no_pyramids) and is tied. The
apex height is 0.4 of the quad's edge, so pyramids on faces meeting at a
right angle do not cross.

transition::pyramid_surface puts a pyramid on every hex interface quad and
builds the tet region's surface closed by the pyramid sides, re-stitching the
neighbouring faces to the hex rim nodes. QualityOptions::frozen_faces keeps
those sides exactly (TetComplex refuses changes that remove or add a frozen
face; their vertices are corners), and apex_points checks the result.

The extrude/revolve cross-section took both ends of every B-rep edge as curve ends. A closed
edge without a vertex on it (a hole's rim after geometry.faces.merge of its halves) starts
wherever its chain was picked up, the old seam vertex, so that point stayed a curve end and a
node column stayed on the merged boundary. Only open edges' ends (and the B-rep vertices) are
curve ends now; the layout and interval assignment place the rim's nodes.
The hex test runs on a square plate and asserts the seams carry exactly as many nodes as the
same lines turned a quarter round the hole (10 and 10; before 5 and 10): the corner layout
puts arc-midpoint nodes there by symmetry, so 0 is not the right target.

With symmetry, when the fundamental cell's two ends along another in-plane
axis are alike (layout planes and surface mirror-symmetric), the cell is
cut midway into the next block sheet and at its image; the low corner is

with both cut faces fixed (#490). A plan cell's cut faces another cell's

A face merge may keep one of its faces' names (Merge::into, model
FaceMerge::into): absorbing a tiny face leaves the neighbour by its own
name, so sets on it still select it. Shape::absorbing_neighbour finds
the face a tiny one shares the longest edges with. geometry.face.absorb
absorbs one face (into a named or the best neighbour) or, from_check,
every small and sliver face the last geometry.check marked; check marks
now carry the small face they found.

A Merge makes adjacent faces of a body one virtual face in what meshers
take from it (tessellation tags, faces, surfaces, edge and vertex names):
the edges inside it are dropped and the pieces of an edge it leaves are
joined; the B-rep is unchanged. Design::merged applies merges after the
partitions and lists the ones that fail as feature errors.

A patch of quads already meshed on a face of the body (a neighbour's mesh)
is matched to the block faces on it: block vertices to its nodes (its
singular nodes first, then along its grid lines), block edges along its
grid lines, faces filled quad by quad. Those faces take the patch's
divisions and nodes, held through smoothing. mesh.hex.project takes
"fixed": [face names] and builds the patch from other bodies' meshes.

The image's face names came from one sample per source face (the first
element face's centre), so a source face whose sampled element face was
off it, or a sliver, mapped wrong and the true image face went untagged.
Each source face now maps to the image faces its own reflection covers,
and each element face to the nearest of those.

project_trimmed accepted the exact surface's point up to a fifth of the
nearest triangle's median edge off the face: on a tall fillet piece
(triangles 30 mm long) that let a point on a sibling piece of the same
cylinder count as on it, so every quad round the corner took the first
piece's name. The slack is now the triangle's own chordal gap to the
surface, doubled.
A face narrower than the elements (the sliver a corner boss leaves of the
inner fillet) gets one row of the quads it runs through, from the
neighbour with the most quads left. Tessellation::nearest_face finds the
face nearest a point.

When the grid layout does not fit a swept body (sides at an angle to the axes, root arcs where
an arm meets its bosses), mesh.plan tries the ring-and-pillow layout (cmd/plan/pillow.rs): each
boss is an annulus from its bore or pedal hole to its circle through every level, the arm a grid
carved a margin inside the outline and the bosses, with a pillow layer of blocks to the wall each
boundary face faces; a grid corner facing a boss and the outline gets a corner block reaching the
kink where the outline leaves the boss's circle. The old crank test (frame cuts) becomes the
heavy acceptance test at sizes 2.5, 3 and 4; the moved frame cut keeps a unit test.

An inclined one holds n·u = 0 and, at shell, beam and reference point

reactions. Decks: Abaqus *EQUATION, Nastran MPC sets per subcase, LS-DYNA

With a user's partition on a symmetric body, applying the whole body's plan cut it again by its

could not open it and failed with "no body `Base` (open a design first)". It now names the cells

cover a design opened directly and a saved model opened again, partitioned after opening.
