SURFACEFIND(1)

💖 SURFACEFIND 💖

okay bestie, so this one is surfaceFind, and it's part of OpenFOAM (aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox) 🫶 it lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual and it's literally here to find the nearest face and vertex for you. periodt.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

surfaceFind [OPTIONS] input

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Find nearest face and vertex. Uses a zero origin unless otherwise specified 💅

that's the whole vibe. you point it at stuff, it finds the nearest face and the nearest vertex. and if you don't tell it where your origin is, it just assumes zero. iconic behavior honestly.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• input — The input surface file

one argument, one job, no drama. hand it your surface file and let it cook 🔥
