Mark Olesen 00d5c604fb ENH: enable MPI library variants (#1153)
- in addition to managing different vendors and versions, it may also
  be necessary or desirable to have a particular variant
  (eg, profiling, release, etc).

  Devise a new meaningful name for the variant and create a
  corresponding wmake rule.

  Eg, SYSTEMOPENMPI-profiling with a corresponding
      "wmake/rules/linux64Gcc/mplibSYSTEMOPENMPI-profiling" file
  that has suitable content for your system.

CONFIG: intel-mpi use intel64/ paths only for config and wmake rules (#1153)

- previously adjusted the config files, but missed the changes
  required for the wmake rules too.

  Now simply migrate to using  "intel64/{include,bin,lib}"
  instead of the older naming  "{include,bin,lib}64"

  These changes work since at least intel-mpi 2015 (5.x), but possibly
  earlier as well

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
