2.3 Paraview

2.3.1 Installation time

Less than 10min

2.3.2 Install ParaView

Download ParaView-x.x.x-Darwin-64bit.dmg from the website (e.g. with version number x.x.x = 4.0.1):
http://www.paraview.org/paraview/resources/software.php

2.3.3 Easy access

Make paraview easily accessible from the terminal

sudo ln -s /Applications/paraview.app/Contents/MacOS/paraview /usr/bin/paraview

2.4 OpenFOAM

2.4.1 Installation time

ca. 1h10min

2.4.2 Create a sparse disk image

Use Apple's 'Disk Utility' (in /Applications/Utilities) to create a case-sensitive sparse disk image (~/OpenFOAM.sparseimage) with the following settings

Save As: OpenFOAM
Name: OpenFOAM
Size: Custom (>10GB)
Format: Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive,Journaled)
Encryption: none
Partitions: Hard disk
Image Format: sparse disk image

2.4.3 Pull the newest OpenFOAM-1.6-ext release

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext

2.4.4 Load OpenFOAM environment variables

Execute the bashrc to get the environment variables

. ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc

2.4.5 Rules for wmake

This depends on your architecture. Here: darwinIntel64Gcc

ln -s $WM_DIR/rules/darwinIntel64 $WM_DIR/rules/darwinIntel64Gcc

Open the general rules for wmake with

vim $WM_DIR/rules/darwinIntel64Gcc/general

and add the -P option in the first line

CPP        = cpp $(GFLAGS) -P

2.4.6 Download patches to support newer Mac OS X architectures

Note: Mac OS X Mavericks users need to edit those files and replace all entries for darwin12.5.0 with their own darwin13.x.x

wget -O $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/rpmBuild/SOURCES/libccmio-2.6.1.patch_0 http://www.ifd.mavt.ethz.ch/people/grieserb/files/libccmio-2.6.1.patch_0
wget -O $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/rpmBuild/SPECS/libccmio-2.6.1.spec http://www.ifd.mavt.ethz.ch/people/grieserb/files/libccmio-2.6.1.spec

(from http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-news-announcements-other/82587-extend-project-1-6-ext-binary-release-mac-os-x-2.html)

2.4.7 Edit the bashrc

Get the maximum number of parallel cores and use your system’s openmpi for compiling Third-Party libraries.
Open the bashrc with

vim $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/bashrc

and change the following content at the appropriate location

#: ${WM_NCOMPPROCS:=8}; export WM_NCOMPPROCS
export WM_NCOMPPROCS=`sysctl -n hw.ncpu`

and further down also the following

#: ${WM_MPLIB:=OPENMPI}; export WM_MPLIB
export WM_MPLIB='SYSTEMOPENMPI'

2.4.8 Disable Paraview compilation

Open

vim $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/AllMake

and comment the following line:

#./AllMake.stage4

2.4.9 Compile the Third-Party applications

$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/AllMake 2>&1 | tee $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/make1.log

And compile them again to check for potential errors

$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/AllMake 2>&1 | tee $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/make2.log

2.4.10 Edit the bashrc

Now edit the $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/bashrc again and set $WM_MPLIB back to OPENMPI

#: ${WM_MPLIB:=OPENMPI}; export WM_MPLIB
#export WM_MPLIB='SYSTEMOPENMPI'
export WM_MPLIB='OPENMPI'

2.4.11 Compile the OpenFOAM libraries and applications

$WM_PROJECT_DIR/Allwmake 2>&1 | tee $WM_PROJECT_DIR/make1.log

And compile them again to check for potential errors

$WM_PROJECT_DIR/Allwmake 2>&1 | tee $WM_PROJECT_DIR/make2.log

2.4.12 Edit your ~/.bashrc

Open or create your personal ~/.bashrc with

vim ~/.bashrc

and add the following entry

alias OF1.6-ext='hdiutil attach ~/OpenFOAM.sparseimage > /dev/null; . ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc'

2.4.13 New terminal

From now on, when you open a new terminal, load the OpenFOAM environment by simply typing the command

OF1.6-ext
