MDFOAM(1)
π MDFOAM(1) π
okay bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual page for mdFoam(1) β yes the whole manual section, we're doing this properly. grab a boba, we're going in π§β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
mdFoam β it's part of OpenFOAM (aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox). that's the whole name section, short and slay π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
mdFoam [OPTIONS]
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
Molecular dynamics solver for fluid dynamics. that's it, that's the vibe β a molecular dynamics solver, for fluid dynamics, no notes π
π OPTIONS π
-casedir β tell it which case directory to use instead of the cwd. like, you don't have to be standing in it, you can just point π«Ά-decomposeParDictfile β use the specified file for thedecomposePardictionary-parallelβ run in parallel β¨ [Parallel option]-postProcessβ executefunctionObjectsonly, nothing else, just the functionObjects bestie-docβ display documentation in browser π-helpβ display short help and exit, quick lil snack of help-help-fullβ display full help and exit, the full meal, no crumbs left
π ADVANCED OPTIONS π
-debug-switchname=val β specify the value of a registered debug switch. Default is1if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times β stack 'em, queen)-fileHandlerhandler β override the file handler type-hostRoots((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) β per-host slave root directories for distributed running. The host specification can be a regex. [Parallel option] β yes regex, she's flexible like that π§-info-switchname=val β specify the value of a registered info switch. Default is1if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times)-libname β additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times)-listFunctionObjectsβ listfunctionObjects-listRegisteredSwitchesβ list switches registered for run-time modification (see-listUnsetSwitchesoption)-listScalarBCsβ list scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>)-listSwitchesβ list switches declared in libraries (see-listUnsetSwitchesoption)-listUnsetSwitchesβ modifies switch listing to display values not set inetc/controlDict-listVectorBCsβ list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>)-noFunctionObjectsβ do not execute function objects, hard pass on those-opt-switchname=val β specify the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). Default is1if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times)-roots(dir1 .. dirN) β slave root directories for distributed running [Parallel option]-doc-sourceβ display source code in browser, read the receipts π-help-manβ display full help (manpage format) and exit-help-notesβ display help notes (description) and exit

heads up bestie:-parallel,-hostRootsand-rootsare all flagged as [Parallel option] in the original, so if you're not running parallel, those are giving nothing fr fr π
and that's the page!! sign-off time π this was MDFOAM(1) from the OpenFOAM- version, served up over at www.openfoam.com β mwah, go run your solver, you're the main character now ππβ¨
