👑 SURFACEREDISTRIBUTEPAR(1) — the OpenFOAM Commands Manual glow-up 💅

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about surfaceRedistributePar, straight out of the OpenFOAM Commands Manual. this is the page for it, fr fr. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

surfaceRedistributePar [OPTIONS] triSurfaceMesh distributionType

that's the whole vibe. options first, then two lil positional besties. 🌸

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, this thing redistributes a triSurface. that's it, that's the job. ✨

lowkey important tho: the surface you name has to be chilling in the constant/triSurface directory. it's not gonna go hunting around your whole case for it. it's giving "be where I expect you to be." 😭

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

the manpage lists these two and then just... says nothing else. iconic of it honestly. 🙈

  • triSurfaceMesh — the surface, bestie.
  • distributionType — the distribution type, bestie.

that's literally all the description we get. no cap. 💀

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • -case dir — tell it which case directory to use instead of just vibing in the cwd.
  • -decomposeParDict file — use this file for the decomposePar dictionary. yes, that one. the one you specified. 🫶
  • -keepNonMapped — preserve the surface that lives outside the mesh bounds. keep it! don't let it get deleted! ✨
  • -parallel — run it in parallel. [Parallel option] 💅
  • -doc — opens the documentation in your browser, slay.
  • -help — short help, then it dips.
  • -help-full — the full help, then it dips.

🌈 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🌈

this is where the real ones hang out. 💜

  • -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave the value off, the default is 1. (you can use this multiple times, go feral)
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type.
  • -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — per-host slave root directories for distributed running. the host spec can be a regex, so go off. [Parallel option]
  • -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. omit the value and it defaults to 1. (multiple times, absolutely allowed)
  • -lib name — load an additional library or library list. (can be used multiple times, stack 'em up 🧚)
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. periodt.
  • -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). value omitted? default 1. (multiple times, yes bestie)
  • -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running. [Parallel option]
  • -doc-source — show the source code in your browser. main character move. 👑
  • -help-man — full help in manpage format, then exit.
  • -help-notes — help notes (the description), then exit.
