reconstructParMesh does not reconstruct finiteArea

Functionality to add/problem to solve

reconstructParMesh does not reconstruct the finiteArea mesh.

  • generate/modify volume mesh in parallel
  • run makeFaMesh in parallel
  • now there is no mapping from parallel faMesh back to an undecomposed faMesh (edgeProcAddressing, faceProcAddressing etc.)

Target audience

See above

Proposal

Extend reconstructParMesh with finiteArea. Default is on, disable with -no-finite-area flag (like decomposePar)

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

Same result whether to run makeFaMesh in serial and decomposing volume and finite-area mesh or run it in parallel after decomposing volume mesh.
