OpenFPCI

Description

This is the first release of OpenFPCI, a coupling interface between Foam-Extend and ParaFEM. It contains a compilation script to install both Foam-Extend v4.0, an FSI library and ParaFEM v5.3.0, however it is suggested users install these themselves. OpenFPCI can then be cloned and copied into the FSI library.

Two example test cases are provided in the run folder, a 2D and 3D case.

v0.4

First serious additions/improvements to code, including serious memory improvements:

• Added run case
• Added compilation scripts
• Removed the need for fortranRest.x files
• Introduced parallel interface and decomposition
• Implementation of of2pf mapping array
• Added required subroutines to dyparafemsubroutines.f90

v0.3

Improvements for this version were more "Piping":

• Improved comments and readability
• Added restart capabilities to the application
• Added variables to destructor
• Improved code formatting

v0.2

v0.2 saw speed up improvements in the dyparafemsubroutines PCG loop:

• Removed MATMUL operations
• Added use of LAPACK BLAS libraries (DGEMV)
• Moved [M]*c3+[K]*c4 outside of PCG loop

v0.1

This version was used fro debugging and initial FSI simulations.
Summary:
