- In the foundation version they introduced a construct to handle the transition from 'wmRefresh' as an alias to 'wmRefresh' as a shell function. This transition is unnecessary for OpenFOAM+ since 1606 used wmREFRESH (not wmRefresh) as an alias. For portability it is important to avoid this non-POSIX "type -t". It causes issues with dash and with zsh (mentioned in issue #277). type -t dash -> -t: not found type -t zsh -> zsh: bad option: -t Note: zsh users may still noticed other problems. For example, the POSIX 'unset -f' normally has no output, but in zsh it reports an error and has exit code 1 if the function was not previously defined. Whereas in POSIX (including bash, dash) it only returns non-zero if the name(s) could not be unset.
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 settingsaliases: aliases for interactive shellsunset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possiblempi: MPI communications library settingsensight: application settings for EnSightparaview: application settings for ParaViewscotch: application settings for compiling against scotchmetis: 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 settingsopenmpi: an example of fine tuning openmpi settings for OpenFOAMparaview: an example of chaining to the standard config/paraview with a different ParaView_VERSIONprefs: an example of supplying alternative site-defined settings
