Will Bainbridge c3ab704513 reconstructPar: Reconstruct the mesh
The reconstructPar utility now reconstructs the mesh if and when it is
necessary to do so. The reconstructParMesh utility is therefore no
longer necessary and has been removed.

It was necessary/advantagous to consolidate these utilities into one
because in the case of mesh changes it becomes increasingly less clear
which of the separate utilities is responsible for reconstructing data
that is neither clearly physical field nor mesh topology; e.g., moving
points, sets, refinement data, and so on.

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
