| + | First, we create a disk image with the Apple Disk Utility. Open <tt>/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility</tt>. Click New Image: | ||
| + | [[File:Howto install OpenFOAM v21 Mac-images-010.ppm.png|thumb|500px|center]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | It is important to set as <tt>Format: Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive,Journaled)</tt>. The sparse image will grow with the place used inside the image. Create a sparse image with the following settings (examples, you could change the values): | ||
| + | [[File:Howto install OpenFOAM v21 Mac-images-012.ppm.png|thumb|500px|center]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | Go to the directory of the image by typing <tt>cd /Volumes/OpenFOAM-v2.1</tt>: | ||
| + | [[File:Howto install OpenFOAM v21 Mac-images-014.ppm.png|thumb|500px|center]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use a browser to download the archives of OpenFoam 2.1 and ThirdParty 2.1 from [http://openfoam.org/download/source.php openfoam.org/download/source.php] and copy the archives into the image. Extract the archives by double clicking on each one. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then download the patches created by Bernhard Gschaider, see [http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-installation-windows-mac/95763-1-9-aka-2-1-mac-os-x.html#post340297 here]. | ||

| + | Copy or move them into the image. Your image content should look like this: | ||
| + | [[File:Howto install OpenFOAM v21 Mac-images-016.ppm.png|thumb|500px|center]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | Move the appropriate patches into the directories, see below: | ||
| + | [[File:Howto install OpenFOAM v21 Mac-images-018.ppm.png|thumb|500px|center]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | Change into the OpenFOAM directory and apply the first patche via: | ||
| + | <bash>patch -p1 < *.patch</bash> | ||
| + | [[File:Howto install OpenFOAM v21 Mac-images-020.ppm.png|thumb|500px|center]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | The end of the output should look like this: | ||
| + | [[File:Howto install OpenFOAM v21 Mac-images-022.ppm.png|thumb|500px|center]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | Add executive rights to a python script like this: | ||
| + | [[File:Howto install OpenFOAM v21 Mac-images-024.ppm.png|thumb|500px|center]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | Apply the second patch for the compiler, in this case we use the GCC 4.6 so choose the right patch by typing: | ||
| + | <bash>patch -p1 < OpenFOAM-2.1.x-Mac-gcc46.patch</bash> | ||
| + | Open the file <tt>/etc/bashrc</tt> with a text editor, e. g. Text Wrangler or <tt>pico</tt> or <tt>nano</tt> and add these lines: | ||
| + | <bash>ulimit −n 1024 | ||
| + | export WM_NCOMPPROCS=20</bash> | ||
| + | The first entry is to increase the number of files which one process may open at a time; the second you should set to the number of processes your CPU could manage in parallel, e. g. 4, 8, 16, ... | ||
| + | |||
| + | It should look like this: | ||
