SOLIDDISPLACEMENTFOAM(1)

💅 SOLIDDISPLACEMENTFOAM 💅

okay bestie, welcome to section 1 of the OpenFOAM Commands Manual — this is the whole vibe on solidDisplacementFoam, and yes it's giving solver energy 👑

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

solidDisplacementFoam — literally just a piece of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). that's the whole name, no notes 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

solidDisplacementFoam [OPTIONS]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. this one is a transient segregated finite-volume solver for linear-elastic, small-strain deformation of a solid body — and it can also do optional thermal diffusion and thermal stresses. so like, your solid bends, and if you want, it also gets hot and stressed about it 🥵 periodt.

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -case dir — tell it which case directory to use instead of just vibing in the cwd 🏠
• -decomposeParDict file — use this specific file for the decomposePar dictionary, thank you very much
• -dry-run — check the case set-up only, using a single time step. just a lil peek, no commitment 🙈
• -dry-run-write — check the case set-up and write, still only using a single time step
• -parallel — run in parallel 💫 [Parallel option]
• -postProcess — execute functionObjects only. that's it, that's the whole job
• -doc — display documentation in your browser 🌈
• -help — display short help and dip out
• -help-full — display full help and exit, the deluxe version ✨

👑 ADVANCED OPTIONS 👑

• -debug-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if you just... omit the value. (can be used 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 btw, so be fancy. [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)
• -lib name — additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times) 📚
• -listFunctionObjects — list functionObjects
• -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)
• -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. nope. not today 🚫
• -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 🔍
• -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit
• -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit

okay that's the whole page, you ate it, no crumbs 🍓 this came to you from www.openfoam.com with the source/version line reading OpenFOAM- (yes, the version slot is just... sitting there, being mysterious, we love a blank moment 💀) and it's filed under SOLIDDISPLACEMENTFOAM(1). bye bestie, go simulate something iconic 🌈✨
