COLLAPSEEDGES(1)

💅 collapseEdges — bestie edition

okay so you found the man page for collapseEdges, which is part of OpenFOAM (aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox). this is COLLAPSEEDGES(1) from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual and we are gonna get you fluent, no cap. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

collapseEdges [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. flags only, babe. 👑

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It collapses small edges to a point. periodt.

And if you want more? It can optionally also collapse small faces to a point and thin faces to an edge. it's giving mesh-glow-up, honestly. ✨

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -case dir — tell it which case directory to use instead of just vibing in the cwd. 🏠
• -collapseFaceSet faceSet — collapse the faces that live in the face set you hand it. very "you had one job" energy, and it slays it.
• -collapseFaces — go feral: collapse small and sliver faces too, plus small edges. not just the edges, bestie. 🫶
• -constant — include the constant/ dir in the times list. it belongs there. let it in. 🙈
• -decomposeParDict file — use file as the dictionary for decomposePar. your file, your rules. 💅
• -dict file — swap in an alternative collapseDict. yes you can have a different one. iconic.
• -latestTime — select the latest time. only the newest, freshest, most main-character time. ⭐
• -noZero — exclude the 0/ dir from the times list. sorry zero, you're not invited to this one. 💀
• -overwrite — overwrite existing mesh/results files. > ⚠️ this one literally overwrites your stuff, so know what you're doing before you hit go. no take-backs.
• -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] — multiple cores, multiple slays. 🔥
• -time ranges — a list of ranges. like, e.g. ':10,20 40:70 1000:', or 'none', etc. pick your eras. 🌈
• -doc — display documentation in your browser. cute little docs moment. 📖
• -help — display short help and exit. quick lil summary, then bye. 👋
• -help-full — display the full help and exit. all of it. the whole meal.

💜 ADVANCED OPTIONS 💜

• -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 'em, bestie)
• -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. you're the boss of your files now. 🗂️
• -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — per-host slave root directories for distributed running. the host specification can be a regex. [Parallel option] — very fancy, very regex-coded. 🧚
• -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. omit the value and the default is 1. (can be used multiple times)
• -lib name — an additional library, or a list of libraries, to load. (can be used multiple times — collect them all ✨)
• -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). omit the value and the default is 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 actual receipts, iykyk. 📜
• -help-compat — display compatibility options and exit.
• -help-man — display the full help in manpage format and exit. (yes, like the page you're reading rn. meta. 😭)
• -help-notes — display the help notes (the description) and exit.

👑 COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS 👑

• -noFunctionObjects — this option is ignored. that's it. it does nothing. it's just standing there. 💀
