💅 SPLITMESH — the OpenFOAM commands manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so welcome to splitMesh(1), part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox) 🫶 she's a little mesh-surgery icon and honestly? we're obsessed.

🌸 NAME 🌸

splitMesh — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). no cap, that's literally her whole job description in the NAME section. she's a team player. she's giving ensemble cast. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

splitMesh [OPTIONS] faceSet master slave

three little words at the end and she'll rearrange your whole mesh. main character energy fr fr. 💫

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • faceSet — the faces used for splitting. this is the where, bestie. the spot where she's gonna do the thing.
  • master — the master patch name. one half of the duo 💖
  • slave — the slave patch name. the other half 🩷

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Splits mesh by making internal faces external at defined faceSet.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she takes the faces you point at in faceSet and yanks them from "internal" to "external" — like moving a wall from the inside of the room to the edge of it. interiority? gone. external now. slay. 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -case dir — specify the case directory to use (instead of the cwd). don't wanna work where you're standing? say less, tell her where. 📁
  • -overwrite — overwrite existing mesh/results files. careful bestie, this one goes brrr and your old files are simply gone. 💀
  • -doc — display documentation in browser. open the docs, have a lil read, hydrate. 🌈
  • -help — display short help and exit. the quick version, for when you're in a rush. ⚡
  • -help-full — display full help and exit. the whole lore drop. 📖

🧚 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) — stack 'em, she doesn't mind. 🐛
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. 🗂️
  • -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) — yes, multiple times, she said what she said. ℹ️
  • -lib name — additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times). bring your friends, the more the merrier. 📚
  • -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) — int or bool, she's flexible like that. 🎯
  • -doc-source — display source code in browser. go read the actual code, nerd (affectionate). 👩‍💻
  • -help-compat — display compatibility options and exit. 🤝
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit. it's giving meta. 🌀
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit. 📝

💜 COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS 💜

  • -noFunctionObjects — this option is ignored. yeah she just… doesn't do anything. she's there for the vibes, standing in the corner at the party, not contributing, but we love her anyway. 🫥
