    Installing OpenFOAM 2.2.x on openSUSE 12.3

    The following procedure illustrates how to install OpenFOAM 2.2.x from the git repository on openSUSE 12.3, for the current users. Install the C/C++ development pattern: zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++ Install other dependencies (gnuplot is optional, but useful): zypper install cmake gnuplot openmpi openmpi-devel git-core zypper install libqt4-devel libQtWebKit-devel libQtAssistantClient4 Check that openmpi 1.6 is selected as default with: mpi-selector --list The output should read: “openmpi-1.6”. If not, use mpi-selector to configure the default version of openmpi (this can be done for the individual user or system-wide, acquiring administrative rights) Create the OpenFOAM directory in your home directory: mkdir ~/OpenFOAM Move to the OpenFOAM directory: cd ~/OpenFOAM Download the source code from the git repository: git…

    An eigensolver and a moment inversion algorithm for OpenFOAM

    This week I have released the port to OpenFOAM 2.1.x of the eigensolver available in the TNT/JAMA library. It can be downloaded from here. I have also released a simple implementation of the uni-variate moment, non-adaptive, inversion algorithm used in quadrature-based moment methods, which is available from here. If you download the moment inversion algorithm, it also carries the eigensolver, since it depends on it.

    Installing OpenFOAM 2.1.x on openSUSE 12.1

    OpenFOAM® 2.1.x has just been released, and brings an interesting number of new functions concerning arbitrary mesh interface (AMI), multiphase solvers, turbulence modeling, improved run-time control and new numerical methods. Assuming that OpenFOAM will be installed in the user’s home directory, the procedure to install OpenFOAM 2.1.x (git version) on openSUSE 12.1 is then as follows: Install the C/C++ development pattern: zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++ Install other dependencies (gnuplot is optional, but useful): zypper install cmake libqt4-devel gnuplot openmpi openmpi-devel git-core Make sure git is installed zypper install git-core Check that openmpi 1.4.3 is selected as default with: mpi-selector --list The output should read: “openmpi-1.4.3”. If not, use mpi-selector to configure the default version of openmpi (this…

    Install OpenFOAM 2.0.x on openSUSE 12.1

    OpenSUSE 12.1 has just been released, and it carries gcc 4.6, and, for those interested clang/LLVM. Installing OpenFOAM® 2.0.x follows the usual pattern. Only a few minor modifications have to be made to be able to use gcc 4.6 and the version of openMPI provided by openSUSE 12.1 (openmpi-1.4.3). Additionally I replaced paraview 3.10.1 with ParaView 3.12.0. Assuming that OpenFOAM will be installed in the user’s home directory, the procedure to install OpenFOAM 2.0.x (git version) on openSUSE 12.1 is then as follows: Install the C/C++ development pattern: zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++ Install other dependencies: zypper install cmake libqt4-devel gnuplot openmpi openmpi-devel Check that openmpi 1.4.3 is selected as default with: mpi-selector --list The output should read:…

    GeekoCFD updated, GeekoCFD text mode released

    I am pleased to announce the release of GeekoCFD 2.2.0, which brings an updated image with OpenFOAM® 2.0.x (x >= 1), an updated ThirdParty package for OpenFOAM and openSUSE security updates, including Firefox 5. The images can be downloaded from SUSE Studio. Additionally, GeekoCFD 2.2.0 brings a smaller version: GeekoCFD text mode, which provides easy access to OpenFOAM for systems without a graphical user interface. GeekoCFD text mode is based on openSUSE 11.4 JeOS (Just enough operating system) 64 bit, and only provides the base system, the C/C++ development tools, and OpenFOAM, with its dependencies.As a consequence, the disk space requirements are significantly smaller if compared to the full version…
