💖 DATTOFOAM(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the datToFoam page from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual — yes, that OpenFOAM, the Open Source CFD Toolbox, the icon herself. grab a snack, we're converting meshes 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

datToFoam [OPTIONS] dat file

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what does she do? She reads in a datToFoam mesh file and spits out a points file. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

the way that you use her is in conjunction with blockMesh — they're a duo, a package deal, the main characters of your mesh setup. no cap. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • dat file — the dat file, babes. hand it over and she'll do her thing ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -case dir — tell her which case directory to use, instead of just vibing in the cwd like usual 🏠
  • -doc — pops the documentation open in your browser, cute and convenient 🌈
  • -help — short help, then she dips. bye bestie 👋
  • -help-full — the full help, then exit. the deluxe version, obsessed ⭐

💜 ADVANCED OPTIONS 💜

  • -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave the value out, the default is 1. you can use this one multiple times, go off 🐛
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type, lowkey powerful 🔥
  • -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. value omitted? default 1. also repeatable, use it as many times as you want ✨
  • -lib name — load an extra library or a whole list of libraries. can be used multiple times, stack 'em up 📚
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. periodt 🚫
  • -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). omit the value and you get 1 by default. repeatable too, obviously 💅
  • -doc-source — opens the source code in your browser. not me reading the source at 2am 😭
  • -help-man — full help in manpage format, then exit 📖
  • -help-notes — help notes, aka the description, then exit 📝
