💅 CREATEPATCH(1) 💅

ok so bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual page for createPatch — she's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox), and she's here to serve looks and boundary faces. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

createPatch — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). that's the whole vibe. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

createPatch [OPTIONS]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so picture this: you got boundary faces just sitting there, and you're like "bestie, what if you were a patch?" 💖

createPatch creates patches out of selected boundary faces, which are either from existing patches or from a faceSet. that's it. that's the whole thing. she takes faces and she gives them a patch identity. main character energy fr fr. ✨

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • -case dir — specify the case directory to use, instead of the cwd (current working directory, for my non-terminal girlies 🫶)
  • -decomposeParDict file — use the specified file for the decomposePar dictionary
  • -dict file — use an alternative createPatchDict (yes, you can swap in your own dictionary, no cap)
  • -overwrite — overwrite existing mesh/results files. like, she will simply not ask. 💀
  • -parallel — run in parallel [Parallel option]
  • -region name — specify an alternative mesh region
  • -writeObj — write obj files showing the cyclic matching process 👀 (cyclic match transparency, we love to see it)
  • -doc — display documentation in browser
  • -help — display short help and exit
  • -help-full — display full help and exit

🌈 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)
  • -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)
  • -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]
  • -doc-source — display source code in browser
  • -help-compat — display compatibility options and exit
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit

🧚 COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS 🧚

  • -noFunctionObjects — this option is ignored. that's it, that's the tea, she's just here for the legacy vibes and does literally nothing. 🙈
