[OpenFOAM.com] copy or recompile OF for modified solvers

joshmccraney · July 2, 2021, 12:29

Hi all

I am running an old version of OpenFOAM that has some new solvers built. Is there a way for me to copy OpenFOAM from that computer and put it on a different one so the new solvers run, or would I have to install that version of OpenFOAM, copy the solvers, and then recompile?

Thanks so much

Hi Josh,
You will need more specifics. Depends on OS versions, MPI, compilers etc. No simple generalization possible.

Cheers,
