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
  • ensight : application settings for EnSight
  • 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
