💖 checkFaMesh — the vibe check for your finiteArea mesh 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual — yes, the actual manual page for checkFaMesh, part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). no cap. this is a (1) page, so it's a command, and it's giving mesh-inspection main character energy. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

checkFaMesh [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Check a finiteArea mesh. like… that's the job. it looks at your finiteArea mesh and tells you how it's doing. lowkey the most honest tool in the toolbox. 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so here's the menu, and it is iconic. every single one of these is real, so read them, don't skim. 👑

  • -case dir — tells it which case directory to use instead of just vibing in the cwd (the current working directory). your case lives somewhere else? say so. 📁
  • -decomposeParDict file — use this specific file for the decomposePar dictionary instead of the default one. got a custom dict? slay, point at it. ✨
  • -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] obviously. more cores, more speed, more drama. 🔥
  • -region name — specify an alternative mesh region. multiple regions in one case? no problem bestie. 🗺️
  • -doc — opens the documentation in your browser. cute little field trip. 🌐
  • -help — display the short help and exit. the quick version, for when you're in a hurry. ⚡
  • -help-full — display the full help and exit. the whole essay. 📚

👑 ADVANCED OPTIONS 👑

this is the VIP section. the velvet rope. advanced options, iykyk. 💅

  • -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave the value out, the default is 1. (can be used multiple times — stack them, bestie.) 🐛
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. you're the boss of your own file handling now. 📂
  • -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 the value of a registered info switch. omit the value and it defaults to 1. (can be used multiple times.) ℹ️
  • -lib name — load an additional library or a whole library list. (can be used multiple times.) 🔌
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. that's it, that's the flag. 🚫
  • -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). omit the value and it defaults to 1. (can be used multiple times.) ⚙️
  • -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running. [Parallel option] 🌳
  • -doc-source — display the source code in your browser. go read the receipts, bestie. 🔍
  • -help-man — display the full help in manpage format and exit. 📖
  • -help-notes — display the help notes (the description) and exit. 📝
