✨ createExternalCoupledPatchGeometry ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is literally part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox) and it's here to hand you your patch geometry like a little gift 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

createExternalCoupledPatchGeometry — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). she's a team player, no cap 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

createExternalCoupledPatchGeometry [OPTIONS] patchGroup

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she actually DO? she generates the patch geometry — the points and faces, both of them, the whole package ✨ — for use with the externalCoupled functionObject. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

  • patchGroup — the patch group you're handing her. she needs it. give her the group name and she'll do her thing 💖

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -case dir — specify the case directory to use (instead of the cwd, i.e. instead of whatever directory you're currently vibing in)
  • -commsDir dir — specify the communications directory (the default is 'comms', iconic behaviour honestly)
  • -decomposeParDict file — use the specified file for the decomposePar dictionary
  • -parallel — run in parallel 🏃♀️✨ [Parallel option]
  • -region name — specify an alternative mesh region
  • -regions (name1 .. nameN) — specify alternative mesh regions (plural! she contains multitudes)
  • -doc — display documentation in browser 🌐
  • -help — display short help and exit 👋
  • -help-full — display full help and exit (the whole lore drop)

👑 ADVANCED OPTIONS 👑

  • -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, she's flexible like that) 🔥
  • -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 — specify the value of a registered info switch. default is 1 if the value is omitted. (can be used multiple times)
  • -lib name — additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times) 📚
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects 🚫
  • -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]
