💅 REFINEMESH 💅

okay bestie, welcome to refineMesh — it's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox) 🫶 and it lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual, section 1. yes we're in the real docs now, get comfy ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

refineMesh [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. you run it, you give it options, it does its thing 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Refine cells in multiple directions. 🎀

like… it takes your cells and it makes them more. multiple directions of more. it's giving "zoom in but for your mesh" 💅 no cap.

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • -all — refine all the cells, every single one, no favourites, no picking and choosing, the whole roster gets refined 👑
  • -case dir — tell it which case directory to use, instead of just going with the current working directory (cwd) like a lost little lamb 🙈
  • -decomposeParDict file — use the file you specify for the decomposePar dictionary. your dict, your rules ✨
  • -dict file — use an alternative refineMeshDict instead of the default one. spicy swap 🔥
  • -overwrite — overwrite existing mesh/results files. > careful bestie, this one does NOT ask permission, it just goes 💀
  • -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] — many processes, one dream 🌈
  • -region name — specify an alternative mesh region. not the main character mesh, a different one 💜
  • -doc — display the documentation in your browser 🌐
  • -help — display short help and exit. quick lil snack 🍓
  • -help-full — display full help and exit. the whole meal 😭

⭐ ADVANCED OPTIONS ⭐

  • -debug-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave the value out, the default is 1. (can be used multiple times, go off) 🐛
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. yes you can just… override it. iconic 💅
  • -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — per-host slave root directories for distributed running. the host specification can be a regex. [Parallel option] — regex? in MY host spec? it's more likely than you think ✨
  • -info-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered info switch. if you omit the value, default is 1. (can be used multiple times) 📢
  • -lib name — additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times). load up, bestie 📚
  • -opt-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). omit the value and it defaults to 1. (can be used multiple times) ⚙️
  • -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running. [Parallel option] 🌳
  • -doc-source — display the source code in your browser. peek behind the curtain, you deserve it 👀
  • -help-compat — display compatibility options and exit 🧩
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit. yes, this exact energy, in a terminal 📖
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit 📝

💜 COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS 💜

  • -noFunctionObjects — this option is ignored. it's literally just there. it's a decoration. it's a vibe. do not expect anything from it 🫥
