💖 flattenMesh — the OpenFOAM glow-up for ur 2D mesh 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual page for flattenMesh, which is part of OpenFOAM (aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox). yes she's a real one. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

flattenMesh — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). that's literally the whole vibe of the name section, she's lowkey mysterious about it 😌

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

flattenMesh [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole invocation. she takes options and she serves. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

flattenMesh flattens the front and back planes of a 2D cartesian mesh.

that's the entire job. she takes ur 2D cartesian mesh and squishes the front plane and the back plane flat. no cap, that is genuinely all she does, and she does it iconically. 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here's where it gets juicy. every single flag, present and accounted for, not one skipped, periodt. ✨

  • -case dir — specify the case directory to use instead of the current working directory (cwd). basically "bestie, the case isn't here, it's there" 📁
  • -decomposeParDict file — use the specified file for the decomposePar dictionary. you get to pick ur own dict file, main character energy 🎀
  • -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] so like, multiple cores doing the thing at once, we love a group project that actually works 🫶
  • -doc — display documentation in browser. opens the docs, very demure, very mindful 🌈
  • -help — display short help and exit. the snack-sized version 🍓
  • -help-full — display full help and exit. the whole entire meal, no crumbs left 💀

💜 ADVANCED OPTIONS 💜

this is the VIP section. iykyk. 🧚

  • -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. yes u can just. swap it. go off ✨
  • -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). load her up, she can handle more than one 📚
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. straight up "not today" energy 🙈
  • -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 read the source bestie, she's not shy 👀
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit. full help, but make it manpage. this is giving meta 📖
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit. just the description part, a lil taste 🎀
💀 friendly reminder that -parallel and the -hostRoots / -roots options are all flagged as [Parallel option] — don't be surprised when they're the parallel-flavoured ones, that's literally what the tag means.
