💖 SETFIELDS(1) — the OpenFOAM Commands Manual glow-up 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about setFields — it's part of OpenFOAM (aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox, aka the icon, the moment, the blueprint) 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

setFields [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically: setFields sets values on a selected set of cells/patch-faces, and it does it via a dictionary. That's it. That's the whole vibe. You point it at a dictionary, it goes and stamps your values onto the cells and patch-faces you picked out. lowkey iconic behavior honestly 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -case dir — tells it which case directory to use instead of the cwd (current working directory). like, "not here, bestie, there" 💁
  • -decomposeParDict file — use the file you name for the decomposePar dictionary. your dict, your rules 🫶
  • -dict file — use an alternative setFieldsDict. wanna swap the dictionary? go off 👑
  • -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] — yes it's tagged, yes it matters, no we do not skip it ✨
  • -region name — specify an alternative mesh region. different region, different energy 🌈
  • -doc — display documentation in browser. cute little docs pop-up 📖
  • -help — display short help and exit. quick lil recap then bye 👋
  • -help-full — display full help and exit. the whole lore, then exit 💀

🔥 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🔥

these are for when you're feeling brave, bestie. main character energy only.

  • -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 — stack 'em, queen) 🐛
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. take the wheel, choose your handler 🎀
  • -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — per-host slave root directories for distributed running. the host specification can be a regex. [Parallel option] — yes the regex thing is real, do not come for me ✨
  • -info-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered info switch. value omitted? default is 1. (Can be used multiple times) 📢
  • -lib name — additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times). load up, babe 📚
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. sometimes you just gotta say no 🙈
  • -opt-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). omitted value defaults to 1. (Can be used multiple times) ⚡
  • -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running. [Parallel option] 🌐
  • -doc-source — display source code in browser. go read the actual source, nerd (affectionate) 💜
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit. meta. we love a self-aware king 📜
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit. just the notes, no filler 🍓

💖 ok that's the whole page, bestie — every flag, every default, every [Parallel option] tag, all of it. no cap.

and for the cute lil sign-off: this page comes to you from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual over at www.openfoam.com, and the version string is literally just OpenFOAM- (yes, with the dash and nothing after it, she's mysterious like that) — mwah, go set some fields 💅✨🌸
