✨ SNAPPYHEXMESH 💅

okay bestie, gather round, because snappyHexMesh is here and she is part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox) — literally the moment your mesh goes from meh to main character. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

snappyHexMesh [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. flags only, no positional drama. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Automatic split hex mesher. Refines and snaps to surface. 💖
