💖 REMOVEFACES 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to removeFaces, which is a whole part of OpenFOAM — aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox 🦋. Yeah it's a manpage, no it's not boring, sit with me.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

removeFaces [OPTIONS] faceSet

that's it. that's the whole vibe. flags first, then the faceSet you're feeding it 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically: removeFaces removes the faces you specified in faceSet by combining the cells on both sides of them. Like, the wall between the two cells? Gone. Deleted. The cells are one now. It's giving merge. It's giving unity. 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • faceSet — the set of faces you're removing, babe. This is the one thing you actually have to hand over.

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

ok here's the whole flag menu, don't skip any, I see you 👀

  • -case dir — tell it which case directory to use instead of just vibing in the cwd you're currently standing in.
  • -decomposeParDict file — use the file you specify for the decomposePar dictionary.
  • -overwrite — overwrite the mesh/results files that already exist. yes this is the destructive one. yes it means what it says. 😭
  • -parallel — run it in parallel. [Parallel option] ✨
  • -doc — pops the documentation open in your browser.
  • -help — short help, then dips.
  • -help-full — the full help, then dips.

👑 ADVANCED OPTIONS 👑

these are the deep cuts, iykyk

  • -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. If you leave the value out, it defaults to 1. (You can use this 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, so be fancy. [Parallel option]
  • -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. Omit the value and it defaults to 1. (Multiple times, queen 💅)
  • -lib name — an additional library, or a whole library list, to load. (Can be used multiple times.)
  • -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). Value omitted → defaults to 1. (Multiple times, always.)
  • -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running. [Parallel option]
  • -doc-source — shows the source code in your browser. peek behind the curtain 🧚
  • -help-compat — displays the compatibility options, then exits.
  • -help-man — displays full help in manpage format, then exits.
  • -help-notes — displays the help notes (the description), then exits.

💀 COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS 💀

  • -noFunctionObjects — bestie. it literally does nothing. this option is ignored. 🙈

no cap: every flag above is doing exactly what it says, and -overwrite really will overwrite your mesh/results files. proceed with main character energy but also with a backup. 🫶
