EXTRUDE2DMESH(1)

💖 EXTRUDE2DMESH(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is extrude2DMesh, and it's part of OpenFOAM — you know, The Open Source CFD Toolbox 🧚✨ (the manual page header literally says "OpenFOAM Commands Manual" up top, so now you know the whole vibe).

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

extrude2DMesh [OPTIONS] surfaceFormat

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Create a 3D mesh from a 2D mesh by extruding with specified thickness. that's it, that's the whole thing. 2D in, 3D out, thickness specified by you. it's giving ✨glow up✨, it's giving dimension, it's giving main character energy 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• surfaceFormat — the surface format argument, and yes it goes right there in the synopsis like that. it's the one required positional thing, bestie, don't forget it 🙈

---

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• -case dir — specify case directory to use (instead of the cwd). use this when you don't wanna be living in the cwd, yk?
• -decomposeParDict file — use specified file for the decomposePar dictionary. your dict, your rules, fr fr.
• -overwrite — overwrite existing mesh/results files. heads up bestie, this one literally overwrites your stuff, so vibe check before you commit 💀
• -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] — yes the original really does tag it like that, iconic.
• -doc — display documentation in browser. pop off, documentation, in your browser, right now 🌈
• -help — display short help and exit. the lil snack version, not the full meal.
• -help-full — display full help and exit. the whole menu, no skips 🔥

👑 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, so go off, stack them)
• -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] — that regex part is lowkey the spicy bit 🫶
• -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). stack 'em, queen.
• -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. go look at the source, it's right there, no cap ✨
• -help-compat — display compatibility options and exit.
• -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit. yes, the manpage, the thing you're reading, inception but make it helpful 🦋
• -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit.

🌸 COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS 🌸

• -noFunctionObjects — this option is ignored. like genuinely. it's a whole option whose entire personality is being ignored 🙈 not me including it anyway because the rules say every single detail stays

okay so quick recap: it's extrude2DMesh from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual, it turns your 2D mesh into a 3D one with the thickness you specify, and every flag above is exactly as listed. no invented lore, no skipped options, we keep the facts and add the sparkle 💅✨

and that's a wrap, bestie 🎀 this whole thing came to you courtesy of www.openfoam.com with the version tag OpenFOAM- sitting pretty in the footer, so like, shoutout to the source. mwah 💖🦋🌸
