✨ FOAMTOSURFACE(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to foamToSurface — she's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox), and this page lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual. she's a section-1 command, so you already know she's that girl 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

foamToSurface [OPTIONS] output

like… give her some options, give her an output, and she will serve 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Extract boundaries from an OpenFOAM mesh and write in a surface format. that's it, that's the vibe. mesh boundaries → surface file. lowkey iconic ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • output — the output surface file. the one and only positional, she's the main character 👑

  • -latestTime — select the latest time. newest only, we don't do nostalgia here 💀
  • -noZero — exclude the '0/' dir from the times list. bye 0/, it's not you it's the times list 🙈
  • -scale factor — geometry scaling factor — default is 1. no cap, default's literally 1, so no scaling shenanigans unless you ask for them ✨
  • -time ranges — list of ranges. eg, ':10,20 40:70 1000:', 'none', etc. ranges girlies rise 🔥
  • -tri — triangulate surface. triangles only. geometry said 🔺
