💅 SURFACEMESHINFO(1) — bestie edition

okay so this is surfaceMeshInfo, and it lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). yes, that OpenFOAM. the CFD one. we're doing meshes today and we're gonna be so normal about it 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

surfaceMeshInfo [OPTIONS] surface

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. one surface and a pile of options, go off 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Information about surface meshes. she tells you things. about your surface mesh. that's the entire job description and honestly? iconic. no notes. 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • surface — The input surface file. this is the file, the main character, the one we're inspecting. give her the file and she'll spill all the tea 🫖

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -areas — Display area of each face. every single face. all of them. per-face area, laid out, no cap 📐
  • -case dir — Specify case directory to use (instead of the cwd). tell her where the case lives instead of her just assuming it's wherever you happen to be standing 🏠
  • -scale factor — Input geometry scaling factor. everything gets multiplied by factor, lowkey a glow-up for your units ✨
  • -xml — Write output in XML format. for the machine-readable girlies 🤖
  • -doc — Display documentation in browser. she opens the docs. in a browser. for you 🌐
  • -help — Display short help and exit. quick lil rundown, then she's gone 💨
  • -help-full — Display full help and exit. the whole entire thing, then she's gone 📚

👑 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) — yes you can stack these, she said more 🐛
  • -fileHandler handler — Override the file handler type. swapping out how files get handled, periodt 📁
  • -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) — again, stackable, she's generous 💬
  • -lib name — Additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times). bring friends. bring all the friends 🫶
  • -noFunctionObjects — Do not execute function objects. just. don't. skip them entirely 🙈
  • -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/bool only bestie, don't get creative ⚙️
  • -doc-source — Display source code in browser. the actual source. in the actual browser. look at her 🧚
  • -help-man — Display full help (manpage format) and exit. full help, manpage flavoured, bye 👋
  • -help-notes — Display help notes (description) and exit. the description-flavoured help notes, also bye 🌈
