💖 NAME 💖

surfaceToPatch — bestie, she's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox), and this page lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual, section 1. That's the whole vibe, no notes. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

surfaceToPatch [OPTIONS] surfaceFile

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so what does she actually do? She reads a surface, and then applies surface regioning to a mesh. That's it, that's the whole personality. Reads surface ➡️ regioning ➡️ mesh. Slay. 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • surfaceFile — the surface file you're handing her. Yes it's literally just called a surface file. She knows what she's about. 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -case dir — tell her which case directory to use instead of just vibing in the cwd. iconic
  • -faceSet name — only repatch the faces that live in the specified faceSet. Not all faces. Just those faces. Main character selectivity. ✨
  • -tol scalar — search tolerance, expressed as a fraction of mesh size. Default is 1e-3. 🎯
  • -doc — pops the documentation open in your browser. Learning era. 📖
  • -help — short help, then she exits. Blink and it's over. 💀
  • -help-full — full help, then exit. The deluxe version. 👑

🦋 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🦋

  • -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. If you omit the value, the default is 1 and she just rolls with it. You can use this one multiple times. 🐛
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. Fancy. 💅
  • -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. Omit the value and, again, default is 1. Also usable multiple times. ℹ️
  • -lib name — load an additional library, or a whole library list. Yeah, you guessed it: can be used multiple times. 📚
  • -noFunctionObjects — do NOT execute function objects. She's sitting this one out. 🙈
  • -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). Value omitted → default 1. And yes, multiple times is fine. ⚙️
  • -doc-source — shows the source code in your browser. Peek behind the curtain. 👀
  • -help-man — full help in manpage format, then exit. You are literally reading the cousin of this. 😭
  • -help-notes — help notes, aka the description, then exit. The lore. 📝
