Henry Weller 3ef3e96c3f Time: Added run-time selectable userTime option
replacing the virtual functions overridden in engineTime.

Now the userTime conversion function in Time is specified in system/controlDict
such that the solver as well as all pre- and post-processing tools also operate
correctly with the chosen user-time.

For example the user-time and rpm in the tutorials/combustion/XiEngineFoam/kivaTest case are
now specified in system/controlDict:

userTime
{
    type     engine;
    rpm      1500;
}

The default specification is real-time:

userTime
{
    type     real;
}

but this entry can be omitted as the real-time class is instantiated
automatically if the userTime entry is not present in system/controlDict.

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
