Initialization of OpenFOAM


Creation of OpenFOAM environment


For to create OpenFOAM environment for version 2.0 on Hippu, Vuori and Louhi servers, give the commands

%> module add openfoam-2.0

%> openfoam-2.0.x

The software is from git repository.

The last command creates an OpenFOAM run directory $USER-2.0.x, if that not already exists, in to the user's work directory $WRKDIR/OpenFOAM. It is recommended to work in $WRKDIR directory. Notice that the lifetime of the files in $WRKDIR is one month. It is good to make backups of the input files and locate them for example in your login home directory.  Large files, results etc, can be stored in to the file server ($ARCHIVE).

On Louhi, Hippu and Vuori, version 1.7.x can be launched using commands

%> module add openfoam-1.7

%> openfoam-1.7.x
