💖 MOVEENGINEMESH(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual — this is page one of the MOVEENGINEMESH(1) saga, and honestly? it's giving "niche but essential." let's get into it ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

moveEngineMesh — it's part of OpenFOAM (aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox, aka the reason your laptop fan sounds like a jet engine 🛫).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

moveEngineMesh [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run it, you hand it options, it does its thing 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

it's a solver utility for moving meshes for engine calculations. like, the mesh moves, babes. pistons go up, pistons go down, the mesh has to keep up. iconic behavior honestly 🏎️💨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

every single one, no skips, we're not doing that here:

  • -case dir — tell it which case directory to use instead of just vibing in the current working directory (cwd) 📁
  • -decomposeParDict file — use this specific file for the decomposePar dictionary instead of the default one
  • -parallel — run in parallel 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ [Parallel option]
  • -doc — pops the documentation open in your browser 🌐
  • -help — short help, then it dips ✌️
  • -help-full — the full help, then it dips

🌈 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🌈

the deep cuts. the lore. the iykyk section 🫶

  • -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave the value out, it defaults to 1. (you can use this one multiple times, go wild)
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type
  • -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — per-host slave root directories for distributed running. the host specification can be a regex 👀 [Parallel option]
  • -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. value omitted? defaults to 1. (also repeatable, multiple times, no judgement)
  • -lib name — an additional library, or a whole library list, to load (can be used multiple times)
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects 🚫
  • -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). omit the value and it defaults to 1. (yes, multiple times, again)
  • -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running [Parallel option]
  • -doc-source — shows you the source code in your browser, for the nosy girlies 🔍
  • -help-man — full help in manpage format, then exit
  • -help-notes — help notes (the description) and exit

okay that's the whole page 🥹 thank you for coming to my TED talk. this was served up from www.openfoam.com, version OpenFOAM-, and the date slot on this footer is just… blank, so consider this your undated, timeless little manual page 💅✨ periodt 🎀
