Input

Name Nickname Description Type
Read Case Read Read an existing case from the working directory. Boolean
Write Write the case files to the working directory. Boolean
Clear Case Clear Delete all files for this case in the working directory. Boolean
Case Name Name Case folder name (no spaces). Text
Working Directory Dir Folder for case files and results. Text
Air Region Air Air region for this case. Generic Data
Vegetation Region Vegetation Optional vegetation region. Leave disconnected for cases without trees or canopy. Generic Data
Building Region BR Building region of this case. Generic Data
Terrain Region Terrain Terrain region for this simulation (optional). Generic Data
Domain Parameters Domain Domain and refinement box parameters. Number
Timing Settings Timing Case timing settings. Generic Data
Simulation Settings SimSettings Simulation control settings. Generic Data
Simulation Mesh Settings MeshSettings Simulation mesh settings. Generic Data
View Factor Settings ViewFactors View factor settings. Generic Data
Custom Entries Custom Optional additional entries to merge into the case. Generic Data
Water Surface Water Optional coupled water surface from the Water Surface component. Generic Data
Extras Optional user additions from the Refinement Region and Custom Function Object components. Applied every time the case is written, so they survive a re-write. A refinement region goes into ALL THREE snappyHexMeshDicts (air, veg, terrain); a function object needs a Region, because urbanMicroclimateFoam scopes them per region. Generic Data
Engine OpenFOAM execution environment stored on the case and used by Run, Probe, Streamlines, and other case operations. Text
