ZIPUPMESH(1)
β¨ ZIPUPMESH(1) β¨
okay bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual π this is the page for zipUpMesh, and yeah it's literally part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). no cap, she's a real one.
π NAME π
zipUpMesh β part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox).
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
zipUpMesh [OPTIONS]
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
So the way this works: zipUpMesh reads in a mesh that's got hanging vertices, and then it 'zips' up the cells so you're guaranteed that every polyhedral cell of valid shape is closed. slay. π«Ά
and like, why would a mesh even have hanging vertices in the first place? bestie, it happens from stuff like split hex mesh conversion, or from integration, or from coupled math face pairs. it's giving "this mesh woke up like this" and honestly? relatable. π
π OPTIONS π
-casedir β pick the case directory you wanna use, instead of just vibing in the cwd π-decomposeParDictfile β use this specific file for thedecomposePardictionary-parallelβ run it in parallel β¨ [Parallel option]-regionname β specify an alternative mesh region-docβ pops the documentation open in your browser π-helpβ shows you the short help and dips-help-fullβ shows you the FULL help and then exits, main character energy π
π₯ ADVANCED OPTIONS π₯
-debug-switchname=val β set the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave the value out, the default is1. (you can use this one multiple times, go off) π-fileHandlerhandler β override the file handler type-hostRoots((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) β per-host slave root directories for distributed running. the host specification can be a regex. [Parallel option]-info-switchname=val β set the value of a registered info switch. default is1if you omit the value. (can be used multiple times) βΉοΈ-libname β additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times) π-noFunctionObjectsβ do not execute function objects π«-opt-switchname=val β set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). default is1if the value is omitted. (can be used multiple times)-roots(dir1 .. dirN) β slave root directories for distributed running [Parallel option]-doc-sourceβ displays the source code in your browser π-help-manβ displays the full help in manpage format and exits-help-notesβ displays the help notes (the description) and exits π
