Mark Olesen 831a47b81e CONFIG: eliminate most occurances of outdated FOAM_INST_DIR (issue #444)
- since 1612, FOAM_INST_DIR and foamInstDir longer have any
  special meanings when sourcing the bashrc or cshrc files.
  Thus no need for special treatment in any of the dispatch wrappers.

  Retained FOAM_INST_DIR as (unexported) variable in etc/bashrc,
  just in case people are using patched versions of etc/bashrc
  as part of their installation.

ENH: relax prefix restrictions on foamCreateVideo (issue #904)

- shift the implicit '.' to be part of the default prefix. This allows
  things like "-image myimages_00" to work as might be expected.

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
