MAKEFAMESH(1)
π MAKEFAMESH β the OpenFOAM glow-up page π
okay bestie, so this one is part of OpenFOAM β aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox β and it's genuinely iconic. i folded the manual name in up there for you, MAKEFAMESH(1), and yes it's a section 1 command, we love that for her. π«Ά
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
makeFaMesh [OPTIONS]
like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run the girl, you give her options, she does her thing. periodt. π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
she's a mesh generator for finiteArea mesh. that's the whole description, no notes, she said what she said and she meant it. πΈ
π OPTIONS π
-casedir β tells her which case directory to use instead of the cwd (current working directory). basically "not here, bestie, over there". π-regionname β pick an alternative mesh region. main character energy for your other regions. β¨-docβ opens the documentation in your browser. self-care tbh. π-helpβ short help, then she dips. bye! π-help-fullβ the full help, then she dips. she's thorough, she's generous, she ate. π
π₯ ADVANCED OPTIONS π₯
okay so these are the advanced ones, iykyk. don't be scared, they're literally just options. π
-debug-switchname=val β set the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave the value out, the default is1. and yes, you can use it multiple times. go off. π-fileHandlerhandler β overrides the file handler type. she's switching up the whole file-management situation. ποΈ-info-switchname=val β set the value of a registered info switch. default is1if you omit the value. also stackable, multiple times, no cap. βΉοΈ-libname β load an additional library, or a whole list of libraries. and yes, you can do this multiple times too. library haul!! ποΈ-noFunctionObjectsβ do not execute function objects. she's on a little break, let her rest. π-opt-switchname=val β set the value of a registered optimisation switch, and it's anint/boolsituation. default is1when the value is omitted, and β you guessed it β multiple times is fine. β‘-doc-sourceβ opens the source code in your browser. peek behind the curtain, she's not shy. π-help-manβ displays full help in manpage format and exits. very meta of her. π-help-notesβ displays the help notes (the description) and exits. the TL;DR, but make it official. π
