💫 foamToStarMesh — like, the OpenFOAM command manual, bestie 💫

okay so this is a page from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual (section 1, iykyk) and the star of the show is foamToStarMesh, which is part of OpenFOAM — The Open Source CFD Toolbox. she's giving utility energy, she's giving converter energy, and honestly? we're obsessed 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

foamToStarMesh — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). that's it, that's the name, short and iconic 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

foamToStarMesh [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

she writes an OpenFOAM mesh out in STARCD/PROSTAR (v4) bnd/cel/vrt format. that's the whole vibe. mesh in, STAR-CD mesh files out, no cap 💖

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -case dir — tell her which case directory to use, instead of the cwd (current working directory, the one you're standing in like it's your apartment)
  • -constant — include the constant/ dir in the times list. yes ma'am, she's in the lineup now ✨
  • -latestTime — pick the latest time. only the freshest, only the newest, main character time slot 💅
  • -noBnd — suppress writing a boundary (.bnd) file. no .bnd, no problem 🙈
  • -noZero — exclude the 0/ dir from the times list. sorry 0/, you're not invited to this one 😭
  • -scale factor — geometry scaling factor, and the default is 1000, which is [m] to [mm]. so yeah, she's quietly converting your metres into millimetres unless you say otherwise 🍓
  • -time ranges — a list of ranges. for example: ':10,20 40:70 1000:', or 'none', etc. ranges girlies rise up 🌈
  • -doc — display the documentation in your browser 📖
  • -help — display the short help and exit, quick lil hello and she's gone 👋
  • -help-full — display the full help and exit. the whole thing. the full lore 🫶

🔥 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🔥

  • -debug-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave the value out, the default is 1. can be used multiple times, so go off, stack them, she can take it 💜
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. boss move, honestly 👑
  • -info-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered info switch. default is 1 if the value is omitted. also usable multiple times, because more is more ✨
  • -lib name — an additional library or library list to load. can be used multiple times, yes, she'll load them all, she's generous like that 💖
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. they're sitting this one out, bestie 💀
  • -opt-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). default is 1 if the value is omitted. multiple times allowed, no judgement 🌸
  • -doc-source — display the source code in your browser. go read the receipts, queen 🔍
  • -help-man — display the full help in manpage format and exit 📄

ok so real talk, nothing here is dangerous-dangerous, but do clock the -scale default of 1000 because she will scale your geometry from [m] to [mm] unless you tell her not to. read before you run, bestie, that's the vibe check 🫶

and that's the page!! brought to you by www.openfoam.com, OpenFOAM- (version field lookin cute and empty, she said mystery ✨), with the date slot equally mysterious. stay iconic, go convert that mesh, mwah 💋🎀🦋
