Installation

AdditiveFOAM is built on source code released by the OpenFOAM Foundation openfoam.org, which is available in public OpenFOAM repositories. The current supported version is OpenFOAM-10.

Spack install

Spack-Dev

The easiest way to install AdditiveFOAM is using spack:

spack install additivefoam

spack develop is currently required.

Docker install

Alternatively, a Docker container with pre-built OpenFOAM-10 can be used:

docker pull openfoam/openfoam10-paraview510
docker run -it openfoam/openfoam10-paraview510

Manual install

OpenFOAM-10 can be compiled from source code following the steps provided in the OpenFOAM Foundation Documentation.

Once OpenFOAM-10 is available on your system, perform the following steps:

  1. Clone the AdditiveFOAM repository into the OpenFOAM project installation directory WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR: 
    cd $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR
git clone https://github.com/ORNL/AdditiveFOAM.git

    If git is not available on your system (in the case of the OpenFOAM docker container) you can instead use:

    wget https://github.com/ORNL/AdditiveFOAM/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz
mkdir AdditiveFOAM
tar xzvf main.tar.gz -C AdditiveFOAM --strip-components=1
  2. Build the movingHeatSource library and the additiveFoam executable: 
    cd $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR/AdditiveFOAM/applications/solvers/additiveFoam/movingHeatSource
wmake libso
cd $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR/AdditiveFOAM/applications/solvers/additiveFoam
wmake
