XIENGINEFOAM(1)

✨ XiEngineFoam ✨

OpenFOAM Commands Manual, section 1 🎀 Okay bestie, this is the page for XiEngineFoam 💅

🌈 NAME 🌈

Okay so XiEngineFoam is part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox) ✨ open-source fluid dynamics energy, no cap 🫶

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

XiEngineFoam [OPTIONS]

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Ngl this solver is literally made for compressible premixed/partially-premixed combustion 🔥 with turbulence modelling built right in, and it's all for internal combustion engines. It's giving main character energy 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -case dir — point it at the case directory you want 📁 instead of the cwd (current working directory) 🌸
• -decomposeParDict file — use your own file for the decomposePar dictionary 🧩
• -parallel — run in parallel 🚀 [Parallel option]
• -postProcess — only run the functionObjects, nothing else 🦋
• -doc — pop the documentation open in your browser 🌐
• -help — get a quick short help and then it exits 💖
• -help-full — get the full help, then it exits 📖

🦋 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🦋

Okay these ones are for the big brain moments 🧠 read them before you dive in, bestie 🙈

• -debug-switch name=val — set a registered debug switch to a value 🐛 if you skip the value it defaults to 1, and you can use it as many times as you want
• -fileHandler handler — swap out the file handler type 📂
• -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — per-host slave root directories for distributed running 🌍 the host spec can be a regex 🧠 [Parallel option]
• -info-switch name=val — set a registered info switch to a value ℹ️ if the value is left out it defaults to 1, and it's repeatable too
• -lib name — load an extra library or a list of libraries 📚 (repeatable)
• -listFunctionObjects — list the functionObjects 📋
• -listFvOptions — list the fvOptions 📋
• -listRegisteredSwitches — list the switches that are registered for run-time modification 🔧 (see -listUnsetSwitches option)
• -listScalarBCs — list the scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>) 📝
• -listSwitches — list the switches declared in libraries 📜 (see -listUnsetSwitches option)
• -listTurbulenceModels — list the turbulenceModels 🌪️
• -listUnsetSwitches — tweaks the switch listing so it shows values that aren't set in etc/controlDict 👀
• -listVectorBCs — list the vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>) 🧭
• -noFunctionObjects — don't run the function objects at all 🙅‍♀️
• -opt-switch name=val — set a registered optimisation switch (int/bool) ⚡ if you leave out the value it defaults to 1, and you can repeat it as much as you like
• -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running 🌳 [Parallel option]
• -doc-source — pop the source code open in your browser 💻
• -help-man — get the full help in manpage format, then it exits 📰
• -help-notes — get the help notes (the description), then it exits 🗒️

Okay bestie, that's the whole thing 🫶 It came from www.openfoam.com, version OpenFOAM- (the version number got cut off, lol 💀), and the page is XIENGINEFOAM(1). The footer doesn't list a date, so I'm not making one up 🙈 Love you, mean it 💅✨
