okay bestie, welcome to the mergeMeshes man page, straight outta the OpenFOAM Commands Manual π this one is part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox) and it's literally about smushing two meshes together. iconic behavior fr fr.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
mergeMeshes [OPTIONS] masterCase addCase
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
Merge two meshes π that's it, that's the whole vibe. two meshes walk in, one mesh walks out. no cap.
π ARGUMENTS π
masterCaseβ the main character mesh, the one everything gets merged into πaddCaseβ the additional mesh, the guest star getting folded in π«Ά
β¨ OPTIONS β¨
-addRegion nameβ name the alternative mesh region for the additional mesh, so it knows which part of itself to bring to the party-case dirβ specify the case directory to use (instead of the cwd, which is where you're standing right now)-decomposeParDict fileβ use the specified file for thedecomposePardictionary-masterRegion nameβ name the alternative mesh region for the master mesh, because the master deserves its own label too-overwriteβ overwrite existing mesh/results files π yes it will genuinely replace them, so maybe double check before you commit-parallelβ run in parallel πββοΈ [Parallel option]-resultTime timeβ specify a time for the resulting mesh β°-docβ display documentation in browser-helpβ display short help and exit-help-fullβ display full help and exit
π ADVANCED OPTIONS π
-debug-switch name=valβ specify the value of a registered debug switch. default is1if the value is omitted. (can be used multiple times)-fileHandler handlerβ 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=valβ specify the value of a registered info switch. default is1if the value is omitted. (can be used multiple times)-lib nameβ additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times)-noFunctionObjectsβ do not execute function objects π«-opt-switch name=valβ 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-help-manβ display full help (manpage format) and exit-help-notesβ display help notes (description) and exit
