Henry Weller 78d2971b21 functionObjects: rewritten to all be derived from 'functionObject'
- Avoids the need for the 'OutputFilterFunctionObject' wrapper
  - Time-control for execution and writing is now provided by the
    'timeControlFunctionObject' which instantiates the processing
    'functionObject' and controls its operation.
  - Alternative time-control functionObjects can now be written and
    selected at run-time without the need to compile wrapped version of
    EVERY existing functionObject which would have been required in the
    old structure.
  - The separation of 'execute' and 'write' functions is now formalized in the
    'functionObject' base-class and all derived classes implement the
    two functions.
  - Unnecessary implementations of functions with appropriate defaults
    in the 'functionObject' base-class have been removed reducing
    clutter and simplifying implementation of new functionObjects.
  - The 'coded' 'functionObject' has also been updated, simplified and tested.
  - Further simplification is now possible by creating some general
    intermediate classes derived from 'functionObject'.

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
