✨ REFINEHEXMESH(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual 💖 this one is refineHexMesh, and it's part of OpenFOAM (aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox, the icon the legend the moment 💅).

🌸 NAME 🌸

refineHexMesh — bestie it's literally part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). that's the whole vibe. 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

refineHexMesh [OPTIONS] cellSet

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does she DO 💅 she refines a hex mesh by 2x2x2 cell splitting for the cellSet you hand her. that's it. that's the serve. no cap. 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • cellSet — the cell set you're refining, babe. this is the one thing she needs from you. give her the set. 🌸

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -case dir — tell her which case directory to use instead of the cwd (the cwd is just where you're standing rn). 💜
  • -decomposeParDict file — use this specific file for the decomposePar dictionary. yes you can point her at a different one. 🎀
  • -minSet — removes cells from the input cellSet to keep to a 2:1 ratio. note: the default behaviour is to extend the set, so this is the opposite of that. choose wisely bestie. 🫶
  • -overwrite — overwrites existing mesh/results files. dramatic. permanent. be so serious about this one, it's not playing. 😭
  • -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] ⭐
  • -region name — specify an alternative mesh region. 🌈
  • -doc — displays the documentation in your browser. study time 📚✨
  • -help — short help and exit. quick lil snack. 🍓
  • -help-full — full help and exit. the whole meal. 👑

💅 ADVANCED OPTIONS 💅

  • -debug-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if you omit the value. (can be used multiple times, go off) 🔥
  • -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) 💜
  • -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 — displays the source code in your browser. peek behind the curtain, main character energy 👑
  • -help-compat — displays compatibility options and exit. 💫
  • -help-man — displays full help in manpage format and exit. 📖
  • -help-notes — displays help notes (description) and exit. 🫶
