💖 SURFACEMESHEXTRACT 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual entry for surfaceMeshExtract — she's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox) and she's here to serve 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

surfaceMeshExtract [OPTIONS] output

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

She extracts patch or faceZone surfaces from a polyMesh. and yes the name is historical, okay?? she only triangulates faces when the output format literally requires it. no cap. the name is just her government name at this point 😭

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • output — the output surface file, periodt. that's the one thing she needs from you.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -case dir — tell her which case directory to use instead of just vibing in the cwd 🌸
  • -constant — include the constant/ dir in the times list, she's thorough like that
  • -excludeProcPatches — exclude processor patches, bye bye 👋
  • -faceZones wordRes — specify single or multiple faceZones to extract, eg 'cells' or '( slice "mfp-.*" )' ✨
  • -latestTime — select the latest time, she's a main character who lives in the now
  • -noZero — exclude the 0/ dir from the times list 🚫
  • -parallel — run in parallel [Parallel option] 🔥
  • -patches wordRes — specify single patch or multiple patches to extract. eg 'top' or '( front ".*back" )' 💖
  • -region name — specify an alternative mesh region
  • -time ranges — list of ranges. eg ':10,20 40:70 1000:', 'none', etc ⏰
  • -doc — display documentation in browser
  • -help — display short help and exit

  • -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. [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) 📚
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects, she's not running anybody's extra credit 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)
