freefoam-decomposePar(1) Automatically decomposes a mesh and fields of a case for parallel execution of OpenFOAM.

SYNOPSIS

freefoam decomposePar [-force] [-region] [-ifRequired] [-help] [-copyUniform] [-fields] [-cellDist] [-srcDoc] [-doc] [-case <dir>] [-filterPatches]

DESCRIPTION

TODO write detailed description

OPTIONS

-cellDist

Write the cell distribution as a labelList for use with manual decomposition method and as a volScalarField for post-processing.

-region

Decompose named region. Does not check for existence of processor*.

-copyUniform

Copy any uniform directories too.

-fields

Use existing geometry decomposition and convert fields only.

-filterPatches

Remove empty patches when decomposing the geometry.

-force

Remove any existing processor subdirectories before decomposing the geometry.

-ifRequired

Only decompose the geometry if the number of domains has changed from a previous decomposition. No processor subdirectories will be removed unless the @a -force option is also specified. This option can be used to avoid redundant geometry decomposition (eg, in scripts), but should be used with caution when the underlying (serial) geometry or the decomposition method etc. have been changed between decompositions.

-case <dir>

Case directory.

-help

Display help message.

-doc

Display Doxygen API documentation page for this application.

-srcDoc

Display Doxygen source documentation page for this application.
