VMTKTETRINGENERATOR(1)

🌸 VMTKTETRINGENERATOR 🌸

okay so this one is a section 1 user command, live from your terminal, and bestie it's giving pipeline princess. buckle up 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

vmtktetringenerator — it's a vmtk script, and yeah, its name is literally just its name, we love a self-titled icon 💅

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

So here's the whole vibe: vmtktetringenerator does automatic piping, then it does parsing options. that's the machinery humming along in the background, no need to worry your pretty head about it ✨

Now the actual main-character job:

vmtktetringenerator : generate input files for the newtetr CFD solver

that's it. that's the whole mission. you feed it a mesh, it hands you the input files the newtetr CFD solver is gonna eat up. iconic behavior 👑

💖 Input arguments 💖

these are the ones you actually get to play with, bestie. one bullet per flag, no skips, no cuts 🍓

• -id — Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id 🪪
• -handle — Self (self,1) — a handle to self, yeah she's self-aware 💅
• -disabled — Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — flip this to disable execution and piping 🙈
• -i — Mesh (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — the input mesh, aka the whole point 🌸
• -ifile — MeshInputFileName (str,1) — the filename for the default Mesh reader 📂
• -ofile — OutputFileName (str,1) — the output file name ✨
• -timestepsonly — TimeStepsOnly (bool,1); default=0 — when on, it only generates the $time section of the tetr.in file. just the time section. nothing else. periodt ⏰
• -entityidsarray — CellEntityIdsArrayName (str,1); default=CellEntityIds — the name of the array where entity ids relative to cells are stored 🏷️
• -normalizationid — NormalizationEntityId (int,1); default=-1 — the id of the entity relative to which the mesh has to be normalized 📏
• -normalizationradius — NormalizationRadius (float,1) >= 0.0; default=1.0 — the explicit value of the radius relative to which the mesh has to be normalized. use this one when you're not using -normalizationid 💫
• -inletids — InletEntityIds (int,-1); default=[] — the id of inlet entities, i.e. an empty list until you say otherwise 🚪
• -outletid — OutletEntityId (int,1); default=-1 — the id of the outlet entity 🕳️
• -wallid — WallEntityId (int,1); default=-1 — the id of the wall entity 🧱
• -historyid — HistoryEntityId (int,1); default=-1 — the id of the entity whose history has to be stored 📜
• -reverseinlets — ReverseInlets (bool,-1); default=[] — toggles reversal of the nth inlet entity normal 🔄
• -starttime — StartTime (float,1); default=0.0 — simulation normalized start time ⏱️
• -endtime — EndTime (float,1); default=1.0 — simulation normalized end time 🏁
• -timesteps — NumberOfTimeSteps (int,1) >= 0; default=0 — how many time steps sit between start and end time 🔢
• -dumps — NumberOfDumps (int,1) >= 0; default=0 — how many solution dumps sit between start and end time 💾
• -dumpflag — DumpFlag (str,1); default=11000 — the flag that identifies a solution dump (e.g. 11000 = tetr.pres and tetr.vel) 🚩
• -wnodesection — WriteWNodeSection (bool,1); default=1 — appends the $wnode section to the .in file so you can do wall shear stress computation later 🩸
• -welemsection — WriteWElemSection (bool,1); default=1 — appends the $welem section to the .in file, again for subsequent wall shear stress computation 🩸

🎀 Output arguments 🎀

she gives as good as she gets, bestie. here's what comes back out 🫶

• -id — Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id 🪪
• -handle — Self (self,1) — a handle to self 💅

---

ngl there's no SYNOPSIS, no OPTIONS heading, no SEE ALSO, no EXIT STATUS — the page just is what it is. no cap. we respect the minimalism 🦋

and that's the whole page, bestie!! vmtktetringenerator version 1.5, dated April 2026, brought to you straight from the User Commands corner of the manual. go make some tetr input files, you absolute legend 💖✨🎀🌷
