💖 MAPFIELDS(1) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, grab your iced coffee, because we're about to talk about mapFields — and yes, it lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual, part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). This is the one that moves your fields from one mesh to another and honestly? it's giving mesh-transplant energy. 🧚✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mapFields [OPTIONS] sourceCase

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Map volume fields from one mesh to another. that's it, that's the whole vibe. two meshes, one field, and mapFields is the matchmaker. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • sourceCase — the case you're stealing fields FROM, bestie. it's required, don't forget it, we've all been there. 🙈

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -case dir — tell it which case directory to use instead of the cwd. no, it doesn't know where you are, it's not psychic. 🔮
  • -consistent — for when the source and target geometry and boundary conditions are identical. matching outfits, iconic. ✨
  • -mapMethod word — specify the mapping method. pick your fighter. 🥊
  • -parallelSource — heads up: the source is decomposed. she's in pieces, but in a parallel-computing way, not a sad way. 💀
  • -parallelTarget — same deal but for the target: the target is decomposed. 🫶
  • -sourceDecomposeParDict file — read the decomposePar dictionary from the location you specify. 🍓
  • -sourceRegion word — specify the source region. 📍
  • -sourceTime scalar|'latestTime' — specify the source time, either as a scalar or the literal string 'latestTime'. ⏰
  • -subtract — subtract the mapped source from the target. math girlies rise. ➖
  • -targetDecomposeParDict file — read the decomposePar dictionary from the specified location. 🧚
  • -targetRegion word — specify the target region. 📍
  • -doc — display documentation in the browser. treat yourself to a lil read. 📖
  • -help — display short help and exit. quick and cute. 💖
  • -help-full — display full help and exit. the deluxe version, no crumbs left. 👑

🌈 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🌈

  • -debug-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered debug switch. Default is 1 if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times — stack 'em, queen.) 🔥
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. 🗂️
  • -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). more libs, more power. 💪
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. they're sitting this one out. 🪑
  • -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.) ⚙️
  • -doc-source — display the source code in the browser. for when you need to see the receipts. 🧾
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit. it's giving meta. 🪞
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit. 🗒️
ngl bestie, that's a LOT of options, but every single one of them is here, no skips, no cuts. periodt. 💅

okay that's the whole page, and just so you know where it came from: this one's served up by www.openfoam.com, under the OpenFOAM banner, and it's the MAPFIELDS(1) page — the footer didn't have a version number or a date filled in, just the OpenFOAM- placeholder, so we're keeping it mysterious. 😭 stay hydrated, map those fields, ily. 🦋🌸🫶
