💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to chemkinToFoam — she's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). 🧚✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

chemkinToFoam [OPTIONS] CHEMKINFile CHEMKINThermodynamicsFile
CHEMKINTransport FOAMChemistryFile FOAMThermodynamicsFile

like, five positional args, no cap. she wants them all. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Convert CHEMKINIII thermodynamics and reaction data files into OpenFOAM format. that's the whole vibe. she takes your Chemkin-coded little files and gives them the OpenFOAM glow-up. 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

the way that you literally have to hand her all five of these, in order, no substitutions, periodt:

  • CHEMKINFile — the Chemkin file, obvi 💜
  • CHEMKINThermodynamicsFile — the Chemkin thermo file
  • CHEMKINTransport — the Chemkin transport file
  • FOAMChemistryFile — where the OpenFOAM chemistry output goes
  • FOAMThermodynamicsFile — where the OpenFOAM thermodynamics output goes

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -case dir — Specify case directory to use (instead of the cwd). yes queen, tell her where the case lives 🏠
  • -newFormat — Read Chemkin thermo file in new format. she can handle the new format too, she's flexible like that 😌
  • -doc — Display documentation in browser. open the docs, go read, we love a self-starter 📖
  • -help — Display short help and exit. quick lil snack of info 🍓
  • -help-full — Display full help and exit. the whole entire meal, no crumbs left 👑

  • -debug-switch name=val — Specify the value of a registered debug switch. Default is 1 if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times) 🐛
  • -fileHandler handler — Override the file handler type
  • -info-switch name=val — Specify the value of a registered info switch. Default is 1 if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times) ℹ️
