Using OpenFOAM on the HPC cluster

If you want to use OpenFOAM on the HPC cluster, you will have to load its correspoding module first. You can do by using the following command:

module load OpenFOAM

Not adding a specific version will load OpenFOAM in version 4.1. If you want to use an other version, you will need to add e.g. this to the module load-command:

module load OpenFOAM/3.0.1
