- Note: mpich now builds libmpi.so instead of libmpich.so - define both -DMPICH_SKIP_MPICXX and -DOMPI_SKIP_MPICXX regardless of using openmpi or mpich. This simplifies the files and does not harm.
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 settingsparaview: application settings for ParaViewscotch: application settings for compiling against scotchmetis: 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 settingsopenmpi: an example of fine tuning openmpi settings for OpenFOAMparaview: an example of chaining to the standard config/paraview with a different ParaView_VERSIONprefs: an example of supplying alternative site-defined settings
