✨ MERGEMESHES(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the mergeMeshes man page, straight outta the OpenFOAM Commands Manual πŸ’– this one is part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox) and it's literally about smushing two meshes together. iconic behavior fr fr.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

mergeMeshes [OPTIONS] masterCase addCase

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Merge two meshes πŸ’… that's it, that's the whole vibe. two meshes walk in, one mesh walks out. no cap.


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • masterCase β€” the main character mesh, the one everything gets merged into πŸ‘‘
  • addCase β€” the additional mesh, the guest star getting folded in 🫢

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -addRegion name β€” name the alternative mesh region for the additional mesh, so it knows which part of itself to bring to the party
  • -case dir β€” specify the case directory to use (instead of the cwd, which is where you're standing right now)
  • -decomposeParDict file β€” use the specified file for the decomposePar dictionary
  • -masterRegion name β€” name the alternative mesh region for the master mesh, because the master deserves its own label too
  • -overwrite β€” overwrite existing mesh/results files 😭 yes it will genuinely replace them, so maybe double check before you commit
  • -parallel β€” run in parallel πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ [Parallel option]
  • -resultTime time β€” specify a time for the resulting mesh ⏰

  • -debug-switch name=val β€” specify the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if the value is omitted. (can be used multiple times)
  • -fileHandler handler 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]
  • -info-switch name=val β€” specify the value of a registered info switch. default is 1 if the value is omitted. (can be used multiple times)
  • -lib name β€” additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times)
  • -noFunctionObjects β€” do not execute function objects 🚫
  • -opt-switch name=val β€” 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) β€” slave root directories for distributed running [Parallel option]
