✨ extrudeToRegionMesh — the manual page, but make it slay ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the extrudeToRegionMesh(1) page from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual 💖 this one's short and sweet but it does something kinda iconic, so let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

extrudeToRegionMesh — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). yes that's the whole name section, she's brief but she's booked and busy 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

extrudeToRegionMesh [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole invocation. no positional args, just vibes and options 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what does she actually do, you ask? She creates a region mesh by extruding a faceZone or a faceSet 🔥

That's the whole thing. No cap. You point her at a faceZone or a faceSet, and she extrudes it into a whole new region mesh. main character energy fr fr 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

Here's the full lineup, every single one, don't skip a single flag or I will know 😤

  • -case dir — tell her which case directory to use (instead of the current working directory)
  • -decomposeParDict file — use the file you specify for the decomposePar dictionary
  • -dict file — use an alternative extrudeToRegionMeshDict
  • -overwrite — overwrite existing mesh/results files. she will NOT ask twice 💀
  • -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option]
  • -region name — specify an alternative mesh region
  • -doc — display documentation in your browser 🌐
  • -help — display short help and exit
  • -help-full — display full help and exit

💜 ADVANCED OPTIONS 💜

these are the ones for when you're feeling brave, bestie. they're still just as valid, just a little more ✨niche✨

  • -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)
  • -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]
  • -doc-source — display source code in your browser
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit
🫶 tiny reminder: -debug-switch, -info-switch and -opt-switch all default to 1 when you leave the value out, and all three can be handed to her multiple times. she's flexible like that.

okay so that's the whole page, you ate that 🍓 go extrude something cute, and remember — this one came straight out of the OpenFOAM Commands Manual over at www.openfoam.com, and the footer of the original is literally just OpenFOAM- with the version slot left empty and no date in sight 😭 iconic in its own mysterious way. bye bestie 💅✨
