- was PREFIX/site, now PROJECT/site This avoids several issues when installing OpenFOAM in clusters without an intermediate OpenFOAM-specific installation prefix. The 'site' directory may have a reserved meaning in these situations and it is undesirable to 'leak' upwards into the parent directory to look for configuration files. Placing the default within the project directory avoids this. Alternative locations can be given via the WM_PROJECT_SITE variable.
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:
