💖 CHECKMESH — the OpenFOAM glow-up ✨

okay bestie, so this one is literally a page from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual (that's the manual name, we're folding it in here like a lil name tag 🎀). checkMesh is part of OpenFOAM — The Open Source CFD Toolbox, and it's about to be your new fav main character.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

checkMesh [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It checks the validity of a mesh. That's it. That's the whole job. It looks at your mesh and is like "hmm, is this valid tho?" 🔍✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -allGeometry — also do the bounding box checks, go all in 💅
  • -allTopology — also run the extra topology checks, extra credit energy
  • -case dir — pick which case directory to use (instead of the cwd, which is the default vibe)
  • -constant — sneak the constant/ dir into the times list too
  • -decomposeParDict file — use this specific file for the decomposePar dictionary
  • -latestTime — grab the latest time, only the freshest ⭐
  • -meshQuality — read your user-defined mesh quality criteria from system/meshQualityDict
  • -noTopology — skip the mesh topology check entirely, we're not doing that today 🙈
  • -noZero — leave the 0/ dir out of the times list
  • -parallel — run it in parallel [Parallel option]
  • -region name — specify an alternative mesh region
  • -time ranges — a list of ranges. like, eg, ':10,20 40:70 1000:', 'none', etc etc
  • -writeAllFields — write volFields with mesh quality parameters
  • -writeFields wordList — write volFields with just the mesh quality parameters you picked
  • -writeSets surfaceFormat — reconstruct and write all the faceSets and cellSets in the selected format
  • -doc — display the documentation in your browser 🌈
  • -help — display short help and dip
  • -help-full — display the full help and dip

✨ ADVANCED OPTIONS ✨

  • -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. Default is 1 if you leave the value out. (can be used multiple times, go off)
  • -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]
  • -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. Default is 1 if you leave the value out. (can be used multiple times)
  • -lib name — an additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times)
  • -noFunctionObjects — do NOT execute function objects 🚫
  • -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). Default is 1 if you leave the value out. (can be used multiple times)
  • -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running [Parallel option]
