💖 objToVTK — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about objToVTK, which is part of OpenFOAM (aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox, the icon it is, no cap).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

objToVTK [OPTIONS] obj-file vtk-file

like... give it an obj file, give it a vtk file, sprinkle in some [OPTIONS] if you're feeling spicy. that's the whole vibe check. 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So basically — this little legend reads an obj line file (and to be SO clear, that's a line file, not a surface file, okay?? do not come for me) and converts it into a legacy VTK file.

it's giving translator. it's giving glow-up. one format walks in, another one walks out, main character energy from start to finish. 💅✨

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

  • obj-file — the input obj line file, aka the one you're serving up. your source material, your origin story. 🌸
  • vtk-file — the output vtk file. this is where the glow-up lands. ✨

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • -case dir — tell it which case directory to use instead of the current working directory (cwd). like saying "not here bestie, over there." 🫶
  • -doc — pops the documentation open in your browser. lil field trip. 🌈
  • -help — shows you the short help and dips. quick lil snack, not the full meal. 🍓
  • -help-full — shows you the full help and dips. the whole buffet. 👑

🌟 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🌟

okay this is the backstage section, the vip area, iykyk. 💅

  • -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. if you omit the value, the default is 1. and yes, you can use this one multiple times. stack 'em, girl. 🔥
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. just... override it. boss move. 💜
  • -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. value omitted? default 1. also repeatable, multiple times, go off. ✨
  • -lib name — load an additional library, or a whole library list. can be used multiple times, so like, collect them all. 🎀
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. nope. not today. not on my watch. 🙈
  • -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (that's int/bool, bestie). omit the value and it defaults to 1. multiple times, obviously. 🌸
  • -doc-source — shows the source code in your browser. peek behind the curtain, it's lowkey iconic. 🦋
  • -help-man — displays the full help in manpage format and exits. so meta of it. 🌈
  • -help-notes — displays the help notes (aka the description) and exits. the tl;dr of the tl;dr. 💖
