💅 DEFORMEDGEOM 💅

okay bestie, so this one is deformedGeom, and it lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual (that's the OpenFOAM Commands Manual, OpenFOAM-version, section 1 for the girlies keeping track). she's part of OpenFOAM, aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox, and she does exactly one thing but she does it beautifully.

deformedGeom [OPTIONS] factor

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options, then a factor, and off she goes 💫

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically she deforms a polyMesh using a displacement field U and a scaling factor that you hand her as an argument. like, she takes your mesh and she moves it, based on U, scaled by your factor. it's giving glow-up but for meshes. periodt. 🦋
