💖 SURFACEMESHIMPORT 💖

okay bestie, welcome to surfaceMeshImport — it's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox), and it lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual, section 1. it's giving ✨ surface file glow-up ✨. let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

surfaceMeshImport [OPTIONS] surface

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically?? this icon imports stuff from various third-party surface formats and drops it into surfMesh. that's the whole vibe. third-party surface in, surfMesh out. no cap. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • surface — the input surface file, like, the file you're feeding in. that's it, that's the girl. 🦋

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -case dir — specify the case directory to use instead of the cwd (yes, instead of wherever you happen to be standing, bestie).
  • -clean — perform some surface checking/cleanup on the input surface. little spa day for your mesh 🧖
  • -dict file — use alternative coordinateSystems.
  • -name name — specify an alternative surface name when writing — default is default. (so the default name is literally default, iconic honestly)
  • -scaleIn factor — geometry scaling factor on input — default is 1.
  • -scaleOut factor — geometry scaling factor on output — default is 1.
  • -doc — display documentation in browser 🌐
  • -help — display short help and exit.
  • -help-full — display full help and exit.

🔥 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🔥

these are the deep-lore ones. for when you're feeling main character. 👑

  • -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)
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type.
  • -from coordinateSystem — specify a local coordinate system when reading files.
  • -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. not me skipping the function objects 😭
  • -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)
  • -to coordinateSystem — specify a local coordinate system when writing files.
  • -doc-source — display source code in browser.
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit.
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit.
ngl, a bunch of these -switch flags can be used multiple times, and if you leave the value off it just defaults to 1. periodt.
