Henry Weller de363dde05 functionObjectList: Moved the functions entry from controlDict into a functions file
for consistency with fvModels and fvConstraints, to simplify code and case
maintenance and to avoid the potentially complex functions entries being
unnecessarily parsed by utilities for which functionObject evaluation is
disabled.

The functions entry in controlDict is still read if the functions file is not
present for backward-compatibility, but it is advisable to migrate cases to use
the new functions file.

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
