PDRMESH(1)

✨ PDRMESH(1) — PDRMesh, bestie! 🦋

🌸 NAME

okay so the manual name is PDRMesh 💖 and it's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox) 🌈. literally the CFD toolbox era 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS

PDRMesh [OPTIONS]

just throw OPTIONS on the end and you're giving main character energy 👑

🔥 DESCRIPTION

this is your mesh and field prep utility for PDR type simulations 🧚. it's the behind-the-scenes glow-up that gets everything ready before the sim starts 💜

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -case dir — pick the case directory you want to use 📁. if you skip it, it just uses the cwd (current working directory) 🦋
• -decomposeParDict file — point it at the file you want for the decomposePar dictionary 🍓
• -overwrite — overwrites existing mesh/results files 💀 so be careful, bestie, it's a one-way door 🙈
• -parallel — runs in parallel 🌈 (this is a [Parallel option] so keep that in mind ✨)
• -doc — pulls up the documentation in your browser 📖
• -help — shows a short help message and then exits 🫶
• -help-full — shows the full help and then exits 💖

🌟 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🌟

• -debug-switch name=val — sets the value of a registered debug switch 🔍. if you leave the value off, it defaults to 1 💅. you can use this more than once 🦋
• -fileHandler handler — overrides the file handler type 🎀
• -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — per-host slave root directories for distributed running 🌸. the host spec can be a regex 🧚 (this is a [Parallel option] too 💜)
• -info-switch name=val — sets the value of a registered info switch ✨. if the value is omitted, it's 1 by default 💖. you can repeat it as many times as you want 🌈
• -lib name — an extra library (or a library list) to load 📚. you can use it multiple times 🫶
• -opt-switch name=val — sets the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool) ⭐. default is 1 if you skip the value 💅. can be used multiple times 🦋
• -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running 🔥 (yup, [Parallel option] 🎀)
• -doc-source — displays the source code in your browser 👀
• -help-compat — shows the compatibility options and then exits 🙈
• -help-man — shows the full help in manpage format and then exits 📜
