OpenFOAM user directory
- Each OpenFOAM user has his own working directory for running his projects
- The path to user working directory is behind system variable:
WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR - Typically: WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR=$HOME/OpenFOAM/{USER}-2.x.x
- You can test where exactly your working directory is located in your computer, type:
# echo $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR - User directory is connected to the current OpenFOAM installation via system variables
- User directory is usually being used for running simulations, storing CFD data, code modifications, etc. …
- User’s own modifications do not affect the current OpenFOAM installation, user’s modifications take the effect just for himself
- It is useful to create the same structure in the user directory as it is in directory $WM_PROJECT_DIR
- Following table shows selected system variables and aliases connected with user directory
