AllSideSetsByNormalsGenerator
Adds sidesets to the entire mesh based on unique normals.
Overview
This mesh generator is useful for adding all possible sidesets to a mesh based on unique normal directions. It works well for more regular shapes that don't have curves or many disjoint surfaces with similar normals. If desired however, it is capable of following a slowly changing normal around a surface so that a curve can be assigned a single sideset. This is accomplished by setting fixed_normal to false. In this case a cylinder mesh can be given exactly three normals, one for the two and bottom respectively, and a third normal for the curved surface of the cylinder.
commentnote
The sideset number assignment is not predictable. This utility assigns sideset numbering based on the unique normals seen while iterating over the mesh. Further enhancements could be made to more carefully control this assignment.
Input Parameters

Description:A set of boundary names or ids whose sides will be excluded from the new sidesets. A side is only added if does not belong to any of these boundaries.
- included_boundariesA set of boundary names or ids whose sides will be included in the new sidesets. A side is only added if it also belongs to one of these boundaries.
C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:A set of boundary names or ids whose sides will be included in the new sidesets. A side is only added if it also belongs to one of these boundaries.

C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:A set of neighboring subdomain names or ids. A face is only added if the subdomain id of the neighbor is in this set
- included_subdomainsA set of subdomain names or ids whose sides will be included in the new sidesets. A side is only added if the subdomain id of the corresponding element is in this set.
C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:A set of subdomain names or ids whose sides will be included in the new sidesets. A side is only added if the subdomain id of the corresponding element is in this set.
