Mark Olesen 13778f7647 ENH: use dictionary::readEntry for detection of input errors (#762, #1033)
- instead of   dict.lookup(name) >> val;
  can use      dict.readEntry(name, val);

  for checking of input token sizes.
  This helps catch certain types of input errors:

  {

      key1 ;                // <- Missing value
      key2 1234             // <- Missing ';' terminator
      key3 val;
  }

STYLE: readIfPresent() instead of 'if found ...' in a few more places.

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
