💖 ICOFOAM 💖

okay bestie, so this is icoFoam, part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox) — it's giving iconic solver energy and it's literally in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual, section 1. periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

icoFoam [OPTIONS]

that's it, that's the whole vibe check. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Transient solver for incompressible, laminar flow of Newtonian fluids. no cap — that's exactly what it does. it's the moment, it's the main character, it's lowkey the reason you opened this terminal. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

bestie these are the standard ones, go off:

  • -case dir — tell it which case directory to use instead of the cwd. like, instead of wherever you happen to be standing. 🦋
  • -decomposeParDict file — use the specified file for the decomposePar dictionary.
  • -dry-run — check the case set-up only, using a single time step. it's the rehearsal, not the show. 🙈
  • -dry-run-write — check the case set-up and write, but only using a single time step.
  • -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] 🔥
  • -postProcess — execute functionObjects only. nothing else, just those.
  • -doc — display documentation in browser.
  • -help — display short help and exit.
  • -help-full — display full help and exit.

🌈 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🌈

this is the deep end bestie, the advanced section, the iykyk zone:

  • -debug-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered debug switch. the 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 — 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).
  • -listFunctionObjects — list functionObjects.
  • -listRegisteredSwitches — list switches registered for run-time modification (see the -listUnsetSwitches option).
  • -listScalarBCs — list scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>).
  • -listSwitches — list switches declared in libraries (see the -listUnsetSwitches option).
  • -listUnsetSwitches — modifies the switch listing to display values not set in etc/controlDict.
  • -listVectorBCs — list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>).
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. bye bestie 👋
  • -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.
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit.
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit.
💀 heads up bestie: if a value looks like it might be missing, remember the defaults — 1 for the switch options when you omit the value. don't come for me, that's just what it says.
