Henry Weller 5204403f3e fvMeshSubset: Added new constraint patch type 'internal' into which exposed internal faces are added
This new constraint type is preferable to the 'empty' type used previously as it
support patch field values for post-processing and other purposes.

The internalFvPatchField operates as a 'zeroGradient' type so that the adjacent
cell values are displayed on the faces exposed by the sub-setting.

The internalFvsPatchField operates as a 'calculated' type so that the internal
face values are displayed on the faces exposed by the sub-setting.

The immediate benefit of this change can be seen when using 'subsetMesh' without
the '-noFields' option to create and write a sub-set of an 'fvMesh' with field
values, now the face values of the 'exposed' internal faces can be visualised.

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
