💖 SELECTCELLS(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual — this is selectCells, and it's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). yes, that OpenFOAM. the CFD one. the icon. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

selectCells [OPTIONS]

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

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Select cells in relation to surface.

that's literally the entire description, and honestly? it ate. no notes. 🦋

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -case dir — tell it which case directory to use. (normally it just uses the cwd, so this is your "actually, not this folder, that folder" move 💁)
  • -doc — pops the documentation open in your browser. cute, right? 🌈
  • -help — short help, then it dips. bye 👋
  • -help-full — full help, then it dips. the deluxe version of the above ✨

🔥 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🔥

like, this is where it gets serious. no cap.

  • -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave the value out, the default is 1. (and yes, you can use it more than once — go off 💅)
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. that's the whole thing. 🫶
  • -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. omit the value and the default is 1. (can be used multiple times, again, slay) ⭐
  • -lib name — an additional library or library list to load. can be used multiple times. load 'em up bestie 📚
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. like, don't even. 🚫
  • -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). default is 1 if you don't give a value. (can be used multiple times) 🧚
  • -doc-source — opens the source code in your browser. main character energy: reading the source directly 💜
  • -help-man — displays the full help in manpage format, then exits. meta, honestly 🌀
  • -help-notes — displays the help notes (the description), then exits. the lil summary snack 🍓
