OPENFOAM_DATA Parse and convert fea struct OpenFOAM data options.
[ OPT ] = OPENFOAM_DATA( FEA, VARARGIN ) Parse and convert fea struct OpenFOAM data options. Accepts the following property/value pairs.
Property Value/{Default} Description

TURB is a struct with fields, turb.model indicating turbulence model (kEpsilon, realizableKE RNGkEpsilon, kOmega, kOmegaSST, or SpalartAllmaras), turb.inlet a vector with two components specifying the inlet values k/epsilon or k/omega when using the corresponding models (can also be computed using the turbulence_inletbccalc function), and turb.wallfcn is a logical flag designating if turbulent wall functions should be used.
INIT by default takes the initial value expressions from the physics modes. It can also be overridden to select a previous solution (integer init = i specifies the solution number), or use potentialFoam to compute the initial values (init = -1).
In addition to the specified property value pairs. OpenFOAM dictionary properties can be set and defined by specifying a cell array with value. For example
openfoam_dict( {'system','fvSolution','solvers','p','solver'}, 'GAMG' )
sets the dict.system.fvSolution.solvers.p.solver field to GAMG. Furthermore, a n by 2 cell array value, such as for system.fvSchemes.divSchemes, can be used to assign several properties to a corresponding dictionary field.
