Mark Olesen 89245fa796 ENH: allow space char in fileName is now configurable (#1008)
- having whitespace in fileName can be somewhat fragile since it means
  that the fileName components do not necessarily correspond to a
  'Foam::word'. But in many cases it will work provided that spaces
  are not present in the final portion of the simulation directory
  itself.

    InfoSwitches
    {
        // Allow space character in fileName (use with caution)
        allowSpaceInFileName    0;
    }

- now use doClean=true as default for fileName::validate(). Was false.

  Unlike fileName::clean() this requires no internal string rewrite
  since the characters are being copied.  Also handle any path
  separator transformations (ie, backslash => forward slash) at the
  same time. This makes it resemble the std::filesystem a bit more.

OpenFOAM Configuration

The main OpenFOAM settings are located in the parent etc/ directory. Both POSIX (bash, dash,...) and csh shells are supported. To configure OpenFOAM, source either the etc/bashrc or the etc/cshrc file, as appropriate for your shell.

These source the following files in the config.sh/ or config.csh/ directories:

  • setup : finalize setup of OpenFOAM environment (called by bashrc,cshrc)
  • settings : core settings
  • aliases : aliases for interactive shells
  • unset : sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possible
  • mpi : MPI communications library settings
  • paraview : application settings for ParaView
  • scotch : application settings for compiling against scotch
  • metis : application settings for compiling against metis

The config.*/example directories contain additional 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
