Henry Weller 295223624b Rationalised and standardised cell, face and point set selection controls
The keyword 'select' is now used to specify the cell, face or point set
selection method consistently across all classes requiring this functionality.

'select' replaces the inconsistently named 'regionType' and 'selectionMode'
keywords used previously but backwards-compatibility is provided for user
convenience.  All configuration files and tutorials have been updated.

Examples of 'select' from the tutorial cases:

functionObjects:

    cellZoneAverage
    {
        type            volFieldValue;
        libs            ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");

        writeControl    writeTime;
        writeInterval   1;

        fields          (p);
        select          cellZone;
        cellZone        injection;

        operation       volAverage;
        writeFields     false;
    }

    #includeFunc populationBalanceSizeDistribution
    (
        name=numberDensity,
        populationBalance=aggregates,
        select=cellZone,
        cellZone=outlet,
        functionType=numberDensity,
        coordinateType=projectedAreaDiameter,
        allCoordinates=yes,
        normalise=yes,
        logTransform=yes
    )

fvModel:

    cylinderHeat
    {
        type            heatSource;

        select          all;

        q               5e7;
    }

fvConstraint:

    momentumForce
    {
        type            meanVelocityForce;

        select          all;

        Ubar            (0.1335 0 0);
    }

OpenFOAM Configuration

The main OpenFOAM settings are located in the parent etc/ directory. The bash and csh shells are supported and to configure OpenFOAM source etc/bashrc or etc/cshrc respectively which source the following files in the config.sh or config.csh respectively:

  • settings: core settings
  • aliases: aliases for interactive shells
  • unset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possible
  • mpi: MPI communications library settings
  • ensight: application settings for EnSight
  • paraview: application settings for ParaView
  • scotch: application settings for compiling against scotch
  • metis: application settings for compiling against metis 5

The config.*/example directories contains various example configuration files for the corresponding shell:

  • compiler: an example of fine tuning ThirdParty compiler settings
  • openmpi: an example of fine tuning openmpi settings for OpenFOAM
  • paraview: an example of chaining to the standard config/paraview with a different ParaView_VERSION
  • prefs: an example of supplying alternative site-defined settings
