Mark Olesen b8c257d6ad CONFIG: adjustments to environment
- provide default WM_DIR if not already set, to improve robustness if a
  reduced environment is used

- add etc/ to WM_PROJECT_SITE search. This makes the site directory
  structure consistent with the OpenFOAM structure.
  Eg,

      WM_PROJECT_SITE/etc/..
      WM_PROJECT_SITE/bin/..
      WM_PROJECT_SITE/platforms/..

- Don't set/export WM_OSTYPE.  The default is POSIX and is properly
  defaulted throughout, including in CMakeLists-OpenFOAM.txt (also for
  Catalyst)

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
