# freefoam-foamToEnsightParts(1)

Translates OpenFOAM data to Ensight format. An Ensight part is created for each cellZone and patch.

## NAME

freefoam-foamToEnsightParts - Translates OpenFOAM data to Ensight format. An Ensight part is created for each cellZone and patch.

## SYNOPSIS

**freefoam foamToEnsightParts** \[-index *\<start\>*\] \[-latestTime\] \[-noZero\] \[-srcDoc\] \[-noMesh\] \[-doc\] \[-time *\<time\>*\] \[-constant\] \[-ascii\] \[-case *\<dir\>*\] \[-help\]

## DESCRIPTION

**TODO** write detailed description

## OPTIONS

- **-ascii**

  Write Ensight data in ASCII format instead of "C Binary"

- **-noZero**

  Exclude the often incomplete initial conditions.

- **-index** *\<start\>*

  Ignore the time index contained in the time file and use a simple indexing when creating the Ensight/data/## files.

- **-noMesh**

  Suppress writing the geometry. Can be useful for converting partial results for a static geometry.

- **-case** *\<dir\>*

  Case directory.

- **-constant**

  Include the constant directory.

- **-latestTime**

  Only apply to the latest time step.

- **-time** *\<time\>*

  Apply only to specified time.

- **-help**

  Display help message.

- **-doc**

  Display Doxygen API documentation page for this application.

- **-srcDoc**

  Display Doxygen source documentation page for this application.

## NOTE

• no parallel data.

• writes to *Ensight* directory to avoid collisions with foamToEnsight.
