💖 PLOT3DTOFOAM 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to talk about plot3dToFoam — it's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox), and it's literally the little converter that takes your Plot3d mesh and drops it into Foam-land. no cap. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

plot3dToFoam [OPTIONS] PLOT3D geom file

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Plot3d mesh (ascii/formatted format) converter. that's the whole job, and it does it flawlessly. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • PLOT3D geom file — the Plot3d geometry file, bestie. this is the thing you're converting, so don't forget it or the vibe check fails immediately 🙈

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -2D thickness — use this when you're converting a 2-D mesh. lowkey important: it gets applied before the scale, so keep that order in your head. ⭐
  • -case dir — tell it which case directory to use instead of the cwd (current working directory). main character energy for your case folder 👑
  • -noBlank — skip blank items. bye-bye blanks 🫶
  • -scale factor — geometry scaling factor. the default is 1, so if you want no scaling you literally do nothing. iconic ✨
  • -singleBlock — input is a single block. that's it, that's the flag 🔥
  • -doc — display documentation in browser 🌈
  • -help — display short help and exit 👋
  • -help-full — display full help and exit. the deluxe version 💜

  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type 🗂️
  • -info-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered info switch. default is 1 when the value is omitted. also usable multiple times 🎀
  • -lib name — additional library or library list to load. can be used multiple times, so stack 'em 🧚
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. periodt. 🚫
  • -opt-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). default is 1 if the value is omitted. multiple times, yes bestie 💅
  • -doc-source — display source code in browser. go read the source, it's giving scholar 💜
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit 📖
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit 📝
