This allows for variants of a case to be # created without replicating common parts of the configuration. # # For example, if the source case is configured to use a RAS turbulence # model, but the variant is to run laminar, then a # system/momentumTransport.orig file can be created for the variant which # contains only the following: # # // Set the momentum transport model to laminar simulationType # laminar; # # // Remove the (now) redundant RAS settings for clarity # ~RAS; # # Files specifying the differences are, by default, located in the current # case directory. These must have a .orig extension to prevent them from # being overwritten by the merge operation. # # Optionally, additional variant case directories can be supplied, in which # case multiple variations will be applied successively to the source case # files. # # The foamUnMergeCase script can be used, with identical arguments, to # reverse the merge operation and recover the original configuration with # only the variant files present. # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ usageArguments() { cat< ...
