INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL AND RUN THE WINDOWS VERSION OF FOAM-EXTEND
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Unzip the package file to any suitable directory (with no whitespaces) on your computer.
2) Install OpenMPI if you do not already have it. You can download this from:
2) Optionally, install OpenMPI and ParaView if you do not already have them.
You can download these from:
http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.6/downloads/OpenMPI_v1.6.1-1_win64.exe
It is strongly recommended to install this in a directory with no whitespaces.
Once installed, create a new environment variable called MPI_ROOTDIR to point to the
installation directory where you install OpenMPI.
3) If you wish to perform post-processing using ParaView and you do not already have it,
you can download ParaView from:
http://www.paraview.org/download
It is strongly recommended to install this in a directory with no whitespaces.
Once installed, create a new environment variable called PARAVIEW_HOME to point to the
installation directory where you install ParaView.
It is strongly recommended to install these in directories with no white spaces.
Once installed, create new environment variables called MPI_ROOTDIR and PARAVIEW_HOME
to point to the installation directory where you installed them. This can be done by
editing the user-editable settings in the environment configuration:
call <PATH_TO_FOAM>\etc\foamWindowsEnvironment.bat
where <PATH_TO_FOAM> is the full path of the directory where you unzipped the package.
For example:
rem =========== USER EDITABLE SETTINGS ===========
set MPI_ROOTDIR=C:\Programs\OpenMPI_v1.6.1-x64
set PARAVIEW_HOME=C:\Programs\ParaView-4.3.1
rem ==============================================
4) Start a new CMD (DOS) prompt, and run the following command:
call <PATH_TO_FOAM>\setWindowsEnvironment.bat
3) Start a new CMD (DOS) prompt, and run the following command:
call <PATH_TO_FOAM>\foamWindowsEnvironment.bat
where <PATH_TO_FOAM> is the full path of the directory where you unzipped the package.
The foam environment is now configured correctly for use within this CMD prompt only.
Alternatively, create a desktop shortcut to <PATH_TO_FOAM>\foamWindowsShell.bat
When you double-click this shortcut, a new CMD prompt is open with the foam environment automatically set.
5) From the CMD prompts opened in the previous step, you can now run the usual foam applications, for example:

5) To run in parallel using using OpenMPI, run (for example):
cd /d <PATH_TO_CASE>
decomposePar
mpirun -np 4 sonicFoam.exe -parallel
7) To post-process the results using ParaView, just run "parafoam" in the case directory:
