💖 FOAMTOFIREMESH(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a whole vibe. it's foamToFireMesh, and yes, it lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual, part of OpenFOAM — The Open Source CFD Toolbox. say it with me: iconic. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

foamToFireMesh [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. 🪄

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it do, you ask? it writes an OpenFOAM mesh out in AVL/FIRE fpma format. that's the assignment. it ate and left no crumbs. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

every single one, no skips, we're not doing that today:

  • -ascii — write it in ASCII format instead of binary. plain text girlie behavior. 🎀
  • -case dir — pick which case directory to use, instead of just vibing in the cwd.
  • -constant — include the constant/ dir in the times list. yes queen, be thorough.
  • -latestTime — go straight to the latest time. main character energy, no looking back. 👑
  • -noZero — exclude the 0/ dir from the times list. bye bestie.
  • -scale factor — geometry scaling factor. default is 1 (aka none, aka we're not touching the proportions, she's perfect as is). 🫶
  • -time ranges — list of ranges. e.g. ':10,20 40:70 1000:', 'none', etc. pick your time girlies. ⏰
  • -doc — pops the documentation open in your browser. ✨
  • -help — short help, then dip.
  • -help-full — the full help, then dip. deluxe edition.

💜 ADVANCED OPTIONS 💜

these are for when you're feeling brave. still not skipping a single one:

  • -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave the value out, it defaults to 1. (can be used multiple times — go off, stack them) 🔥
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. take the wheel.
  • -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. value omitted? defaults to 1. (can be used multiple times)
  • -lib name — an additional library or library list to load. (can be used multiple times — yes, more than once, she's flexible)
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. not today, function objects. 💀
  • -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). leave the value off and it defaults to 1. (can be used multiple times)
  • -doc-source — shows the source code in your browser. peek behind the curtain, nosy bestie. 🙈
  • -help-man — full help in manpage format, then exit.
  • -help-notes — help notes (the description) and exit.
