SURFACESUBSET(1)

💖 SURFACESUBSET(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual ✨ this little icon is part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox), and she's here to help you carve a whole vibe out of your surface files 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

surfaceSubset [OPTIONS] dict input output

like. that's the whole thing. three positional besties and a pile of options 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically she's a surface analysis tool 💅 what she does is subset the triSurface to choose a region of interest. that's it, that's the gig — you point her at a surface, you tell her which bit you care about, and she hands you back just that bit. lowkey iconic, no cap 🔥

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dict — the surfaceSubsetDict. this is where you spill the tea about what you actually want ✨
• input — the input surface file 📥 the one you're slicing up
• output — the output surface file 📤 the glow-up result

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -case dir — specify case directory to use (instead of the cwd). like, "not here, over there" 🏠
• -doc — display documentation in browser. cute lil docs moment 🌈
• -help — display short help and exit. the tl;dr ✨
• -help-full — display full help and exit. the whole essay 📖

👑 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) 🐛
• -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type 🗂️
• -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) ℹ️
• -lib name — additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times) 📚
• -noFunctionObjects — do not execute 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) ⚙️
• -doc-source — display source code in browser. peek behind the curtain, bestie 👀
• -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit 📄
• -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit 📝

fr fr, those last few advanced ones are giving "I know what I'm doing" energy — -debug-switch, -info-switch and -opt-switch can all be repeated, and each defaults to 1 when you skip the value 💜
