| Summary | 0002898: surfaceTransformPoints ignores "-case <folder>" option | ||||
| Description | When running "surfaceTransformPoints" and specifying the case directory with the "-case <folder>" option, it will not find the correct file. - "cd"-ing into the folder works - Specifying the full path works | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Copy a .stl or .obj into any case folder Go to parent folder, try to run with "-case <folder>" option Watch in despair | ||||
| Additional Information | Minor inconvenience when scripting OpenFOAM calls from other languages, as this option is used on other calls. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

The surface utilities require the path to the input and output files so they can be anywhere, either in the case directory, in any sub-directory or somewhere else so that the files can be used for multiple cases. I tested running surfaceTransformPoints in the case directory and also outside it and it runs fine, the -case option in not used or needed. > as this option is used on other calls Which "calls" are your referring to? Do you find that other surface manipulation utilities use the -case option in some way? |

I was not aware of that, so if this is the intended behavior, if so i apologize :) The "case" keyword is listed under """ -$ surfaceTransformPoints -help Usage: surfaceTransformPoints [OPTIONS] <surface file> <output surface file> options: -case <dir> specify alternate case directory, default is the cwd .... """ I simply have a python script that has a general way to call OpenFOAM functions (blockMesh, snappyHexMesh, icoFoam, etc...) which uses the "-case <folder>" to select different case folders in which to do it's business. |

With a bit of effort we could explicitly remove the "-case" option from the list but we need funding for this kind of maintenance work: https://openfoam.org/maintenance/ https://openfoam.org/news/funding-2018/ |

That will not be necessary, simply thought it was not working as intended. Just using it for my thesis at the moment, I will work around it :) Found no way to close the issue, guess you are the one to do that ;) |
