💖 CHANGEDICTIONARY(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual — this is changeDictionary, part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox), and she is lowkey iconic. 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

changeDictionary [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically? she's the utility that changes dictionary entries. like, think the patch type for fields, and the polyMesh/boundary files. that's the whole gig. she goes in, she edits the dict, she slays. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -case dir — tell her which case directory to use instead of the cwd, bc sometimes you're just not where you think you are, fr fr.
  • -constant — include the 'constant/' dir in the times list. yes queen, let her in.
  • -decomposeParDict file — use the file you specify for the decomposePar dictionary.
  • -dict file — use an alternative changeDictionaryDict. main character energy, alternate timeline.
  • -disablePatchGroups — turn OFF matching keys to patch groups.
  • -enableFunctionEntries — turn ON expansion of dictionary directives — that's #include, #codeStream, etc. ✨
  • -instance name — override the instance setting (the default is the time name, just so you know).
  • -latestTime — select the latest time. she's not dwelling on the past, periodt.
  • -literalRE — treat regular expressions literally, i.e., as a keyword.
  • -noZero — exclude the '0/' dir from the times list. bye zero 🫶
  • -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option]
  • -region name — specify an alternative mesh region.
  • -subDict name — specify the subDict name of the replacements dictionary.
  • -time ranges — list of ranges. Eg, ':10,20 40:70 1000:', 'none', etc.
  • -doc — display documentation in browser.
  • -help — display short help and exit.
  • -help-full — display full help and exit.

🔥 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🔥

like, only if you're built different. iykyk. 💜

  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type.
  • -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — per-host slave root directories for distributed running. the host specification can be a regex. [Parallel option]

  • -lib name — additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times).
