Mark Olesen 3ece6e521a ENH: improve MPI configuration possibilities
- permit SYSTEMMPI user adjustments via
      etc/config.{csh,sh}/mpi-system
  This can be a convenient place for setting up SYSTEMMPI for OpenFOAM
  without adjusting bashrc, prefs.sh ...

- add a USERMPI type. This represents any generic mpi implementation.
  The user is responsible for supplying an appropriate
  wmake/rules/General/mplibUSERMPI file and managing all settings.

  This type of setup can be useful in combination with specific build
  systems (SPACK, EASYBUILD, etc) or module systems for which the MPI
  variant is part of the installed configuration.

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
