SURFACEADD(1)

✨ SURFACEADD(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual 💖 this one is surfaceAdd — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox), and yes it's exactly as iconic as it sounds 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

surfaceAdd [OPTIONS] surface1 surface2 output

three little positional args and a whole buffet of options, let's get into it 🦋

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• surface1 — the first input surface file, your OG 💅
• surface2 — the second input surface file, the plus-one 🎀
• output — the output surface file, where the merged masterpiece lands ✨

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So what does it actually do? It adds two surfaces together via a geometric merge on points. That's the whole vibe.

⚠️ bestie listen — it does not check for overlapping or intersecting triangles. no cap. it will simply not warn you. if your triangles are beefing, that's between you and the triangles 💀
