💖 TOPOSET(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to topoSet — she's part of OpenFOAM (aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox) and she is genuinely that girl. This is the OpenFOAM Commands Manual page for her, and yes, we're reading the whole thing together. grab a strawberry drink 🍓, we're doing this.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

topoSet [OPTIONS]

literally that's it. she's simple, she's iconic, she takes options and she slays.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does she actually DO? She operates on cellSets/faceSets/pointSets through a dictionary — normally that dictionary lives at system/topoSetDict.

That's the whole vibe. Sets of cells, faces, and points, getting curated via a dict. no cap. 💅

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

Here's every single flag, bestie, no skipping, we're being thorough because that's the energy:

  • -case dir — tell her which case directory to use instead of the cwd (the current working directory). like, "not here, there" 🫶
  • -constant — include the constant/ dir in the times list. she sees it, she respects it.
  • -decomposeParDict file — use the file you specify for the decomposePar dictionary.
  • -dict file — use an alternative topoSetDict. your own dict, your own rules.
  • -latestTime — select the latest time. the most recent one. main character time, honestly. 👑
  • -noSync — do not synchronise selection across coupled patches. note the no, bestie, this one turns the syncing off.
  • -noZero — exclude the 0/ dir from the times list. she said not that one.
  • -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] 🏃‍♀️
  • -region name — specify an alternative mesh region.
  • -time ranges — a list of ranges. for example: ':10,20 40:70 1000:', 'none', etc. yeah the syntax is a whole thing but she gets it.
  • -doc — display the documentation in your browser. cute lil field trip. ✨
  • -help — display short help and exit.
  • -help-full — display full help and exit.

🎀 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🎀

these are the deep cuts, the iykyk tier, but we list them all because we are not gatekeepers:

  • -debug-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if you omit the value. (can be used multiple times)
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type.
  • -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — per-host slave root directories for distributed running. the host specification can be a regex. [Parallel option]
  • -info-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered info switch. default is 1 if you omit the value. (can be used multiple times)
  • -lib name — additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times).
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. she's skipping them, respectfully.
  • -opt-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). default is 1 if you omit the value. (can be used multiple times)
  • -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running. [Parallel option]
  • -doc-source — display the source code in your browser. peek behind the curtain 🫣
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit.
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit.
