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 settingsaliases: aliases for interactive shellsunset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possiblempi: MPI communications library settingsensight: application settings for EnSightparaview: application settings for ParaViewscotch: application settings for compiling against scotchmetis: application settings for compiling against metis

files for the corresponding shell:
