REDISTRIBUTEPAR(1)

💖 REDISTRIBUTEPAR 💖

okay bestie, so this one is redistributePar, and it lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual — yeah, that OpenFOAM, the Open Source CFD Toolbox 👑. She's a command-line girlie and she is so useful, let me tell you everything, no gatekeeping 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

redistributePar [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. flags only, no positional nonsense 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

She redistributes your decomposed mesh and fields according to the decomposeParDict settings. Like, your decomposition? reconsidered. your fields? relocated. iconic behaviour honestly ✨

And if you want, she can optionally run in decompose/reconstruct mode 🦋 so she's not just one trick, she's a whole multitasker.

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -allRegions — operate on all regions in regionProperties 💖 every single one, we're not picking favourites
• -case dir — Specify case directory to use (instead of the cwd). like, tell her where the party's at 🏠
• -cellDist — Write cell distribution as a labelList — for use with 'manual' decomposition method or as a volScalarField for post-processing. cute lil output for later 💅
• -constant — Include the 'constant/' dir in the times list 📁
• -decompose — Decompose case 🔪✨
• -decomposeParDict file — Use specified file for decomposePar dictionary 📝
• -dry-run — Test without writing the decomposition. Changes -cellDist to only write volScalarField. it's giving rehearsal, no commitment 🫶
• -latestTime — Select the latest time ⏰ the freshest one, obviously
• -mergeTol scalar — The merge distance relative to the bounding box size (default 1e-6) 📏
• -newTimes — Only reconstruct new times (i.e. that do not exist already) 🆕
• -noZero — Exclude the '0/' dir from the times list, has precedence over the -withZero option. okay so she WINS that argument, noted 💀
• -overwrite — Overwrite existing mesh/results files. bestie be careful, she will not ask twice 🙈
• -parallel — Run in parallel [Parallel option] 🔥
• -reconstruct — Reconstruct case 🧩
• -region name — Specify alternative mesh region 🗺️
• -time ranges — List of ranges. Eg, ':10,20 40:70 1000:', 'none', etc ⏳
• -withZero — Include the '0/' dir in the times list 🍩
• -doc — Display documentation in browser 🌐
• -help — Display short help and exit 🆘
• -help-full — Display full help and exit 📚

👑 ADVANCED OPTIONS 👑

the deluxe menu, for when you're feeling main character ✨

• -debug-switch name=val — Specify the value of a registered debug switch. Default is 1 if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times) 🐛
• -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 — Specify the value of a registered info switch. Default is 1 if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times) ℹ️
• -lib name — Additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times) 📦
• -opt-switch name=val — 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) — Slave root directories for distributed running [Parallel option] 🌳
• -doc-source — Display source code in browser 👀
• -help-compat — Display compatibility options and exit 🤝
• -help-man — Display full help (manpage format) and exit 📖
• -help-notes — Display help notes (description) and exit 🗒️

💀 COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS 💀

• -noFunctionObjects — This option is ignored 🙈

fr fr, that one does literally nothing. it's just there for the vibes so old scripts don't throw hands. she accepts it, she just doesn't hear it 😭

okay that's the whole page, and lemme just sign off properly 🎀

she ships with OpenFOAM over at www.openfoam.com — that's the source, that's the version tag right there in the corner, that's the whole OpenFOAM- situation 💖 and this REDISTRIBUTEPAR(1) page is dated to the era of that © 2018-2019 notice above. so like. yeah. go redistribute some partitions, you absolute legend 👑💅✨ no cap 🦋
