💖 FOAMUPGRADECYCLICS 💖

okay bestie, so this is foamUpgradeCyclics, and it's part of OpenFOAM (aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox, aka the reason your laptop fan sounds like a jet engine). pull up a chair, we're doing this together 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

foamUpgradeCyclics [OPTIONS]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this little icon is a tool to upgrade mesh and fields for split cyclics. that's the whole vibe. it takes your old-school split cyclic setup and gives it the glow-up it deserves ✨

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

no skipping, we're going through all of them, periodt 💅

• -case dir — tell it which case directory to use instead of just vibing in the cwd (current working directory, iykyk)
• -constant — include the constant/ dir in the times list. yes, that one
• -decomposeParDict file — use this specific file for the decomposePar dictionary instead of the default one
• -dry-run — test only, do not change any files. it's giving window shopping 🛍️
• -enableFunctionEntries — turn on expansion of dictionary directives — #include, #codeStream, etc. the spicy stuff
• -latestTime — select the latest time. most recent era only 💅
• -noZero — exclude the 0/ dir from the times list
• -parallel — run in parallel 🔥 [Parallel option]
• -region name — specify an alternative mesh region
• -time ranges — a list of ranges. for example ':10,20 40:70 1000:', or 'none', etc
• -doc — display the documentation in your browser 🌐
• -help — display short help and dip
• -help-full — display the full help and exit. the whole meal, no crumbs

👑 ADVANCED OPTIONS 👑

this is the VIP section, bestie 🎟️

• -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if you omit the value. (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 — set the value of a registered info switch. default is 1 if you omit the value. (can be used multiple times)
• -lib name — an additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times)
• -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. they stay seated 😌
• -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). default is 1 if you omit the value. (can be used multiple times)
• -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running [Parallel option]
• -doc-source — display the source code in your browser 👀
• -help-compat — display compatibility options and exit
• -help-man — display full help in manpage format and exit
• -help-notes — display help notes (the description) and exit

💀 COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS 💀

• -test (now -dry-run) — this option was last used in 1806. it's a relic, an artifact, a museum piece. it's been replaced, so use -dry-run instead 🫠
