💖 SIMPLEFOAM — the OpenFOAM commands manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so. <rainbow>simpleFoam</rainbow> is part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). That's the whole vibe. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

simpleFoam [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Steady-state solver for incompressible, turbulent flows. That's it, that's the girl. She solves, she's steady, she's incompressible, she's turbulent. iconic 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -case dir — Tell her which case directory to use (instead of the cwd, which is what she'd grab by default).
  • -decomposeParDict file — Use this specified file for the decomposePar dictionary.
  • -dry-run — Check the case set-up only, using a single time step. Just a little vibe check, no commitment 😌
  • -dry-run-write — Check the case set-up and write, only using a single time step.
  • -parallel — Run in parallel. [Parallel option]
  • -postProcess — Execute functionObjects only.
  • -doc — Display documentation in browser.
  • -help — Display short help and exit. (Short queen 👑)
  • -help-full — Display full help and exit. (Long queen 👑)

🔥 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🔥

  • -debug-switch name=val — Specify the value of a registered debug switch. Default is 1 if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times, she's flexible like that 💁‍♀️)
  • -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, again, no cap)
  • -lib name — Additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times).
  • -listFunctionObjects — List functionObjects.
  • -listFvOptions — List fvOptions.
  • -listRegisteredSwitches — List switches registered for run-time modification (see the -listUnsetSwitches option).
  • -listScalarBCs — List scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>).
  • -listSwitches — List switches declared in libraries (see the -listUnsetSwitches option).
  • -listTurbulenceModels — List turbulenceModels.
  • -listUnsetSwitches — Modifies switch listing to display values not set in etc/controlDict.
  • -listVectorBCs — List vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>).
  • -noFunctionObjects — Do not execute function objects. Not me skipping the extras 🙈
  • -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 — Display source code in browser. Go read the source, bestie, it's giving transparency ✨
  • -help-man — Display full help (manpage format) and exit.
  • -help-notes — Display help notes (description) and exit.
