💖 COMBINEPATCHFACES 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the COMBINEPATCHFACES(1) page from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual — yes it's a real one, yes it's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox), and yes we're gonna read it together like it's a group chat. grab a boba, we're doing mesh stuff 🧋✨

✨ NAME ✨

combinePatchFaces — it's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). that's the whole name section, she's lowkey mysterious 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

combinePatchFaces [OPTIONS] featureAngle

so you run the thing, you throw your options at it, and you always hand it a featureAngle. no angle, no service 🙅‍♀️

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: this tool checks for multiple patch faces on the same cell and then combines them. that's it. that's the whole personality. it's giving "cleanup crew for your mesh" 🧹✨ no cap.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • featureAngle — in degrees [0-180]. that's your range, bestie, don't get weird with it 📐

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • -case dir — specify the case directory to use instead of the cwd. so if you're not already standing in your case folder, point at it with this 🏠
  • -concaveAngle degrees — specify concave angle [0..180]. default is 30 degrees. yes there's a default, she's generous like that ✨
  • -decomposeParDict file — use the specified file for the decomposePar dictionary. custom dict? say less 📄
  • -meshQuality — read your user-defined mesh quality criteria from system/meshQualityDict. fancy, love that for you 👑
  • -overwrite — overwrite existing mesh/results files. ⚠️ yes it really does overwrite them, be normal about it
  • -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] — multitasking queen behavior 💅
  • -doc — display documentation in the browser 🌐
  • -help — display short help and exit. quick lil peek 👀
  • -help-full — display full help and exit. the whole essay 📚

  • -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) 📚
  • -opt-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). default is 1 if the value is omitted. (can be used multiple times) ⚙️
  • -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running. [Parallel option] 🌳
