✨ SURFACEORIENT 💅

okay bestie, so this is surfaceOrient, and it's literally part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). yes, that OpenFOAM. the icon, the moment, the whole CFD vibe. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

surfaceOrient [OPTIONS] input point output

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea: surfaceOrient sets face normals so they're all consistent with an 'outside' point that you provide. like, you tell it where "outside" is, and it makes every normal agree. no cap. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • input — the input surface file. your raw material, your starting point, the before pic. 💖
  • point — the visible 'outside' point. the one that decides which way is out. 🎀
  • output — the output surface file. the glow-up. the after pic. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -case dir — specify the case directory to use instead of the cwd (yes, instead of just vibing in whatever folder you're in).
  • -inside — treat the provided point as being inside. flipping the whole perspective, main character energy. 🔥
  • -scale factor — input geometry scaling factor. resize that geometry, she's serving a new size. 💅
  • -usePierceTest — determine orientation by counting the number of intersections. like a little ray-casting detective. 🕵️
  • -doc — display documentation in the browser. open it up, it's giving study session. 💖
  • -help — display short help and exit. quick lil peek. 🫶
  • -help-full — display full help and exit. the whole lore. 📖

🌈 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, go off) 💀
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. be the boss of your file handler. 👑
  • -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, go off) ✨
  • -lib name — additional library or library list to load. (can be used multiple times, stack 'em) 📚
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. sometimes you just gotta say no. 🙈
  • -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) ⭐
  • -doc-source — display source code in the browser. for when you wanna read the actual receipts. 🧚
  • -help-man — display full help in manpage format and exit. meta, honestly. 💜
  • -help-notes — display help notes (the description) and exit. just the notes, bestie. 🍓

and that's the whole page bestie!! 🎀 this lil manpage lives over at www.openfoam.com, and it's tagged with an OpenFOAM version that literally just reads OpenFOAM- (iconic, mysterious, no number, we love a cliffhanger 💅). mwah, go orient some normals. 🦋💖
