✨ VIEWFACTORSGEN ✨

okay bestie, so this is viewFactorsGen — one of the little legends that lives inside OpenFOAM (aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox). it's a command-line cutie from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual and she has ONE job: math. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

viewFactorsGen [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she actually do? she calculates view factors from a face agglomeration array. 🎀

and where does that array come from, you ask? the finalAgglom — which is generated by the faceAgglomerate utility. so like, faceAgglomerate does its thing first, hands over finalAgglom, and then viewFactorsGen swoops in and does the view factor math. it's giving teamwork. it's giving pipeline. 🔥
