Configuration Settings

The PGEM tool can be configured according to user preference. The setting dialog can be open with the icon next to the Anatomy menu button.

PGEMConfiguration

The Structural models section allows defining the path where the created models will be stored.

In the CFD Modeling section the OpenFoam server can be configured. Per default, PMOD comes with enabled OpenFoam processor server hosted on a PMOD machine (anatomy.pmod.com:5998). However, this open foam server should only be used for tests, and not for productive data processing. We recommend users to set up their own server, which is easy to do and free of charge. There are two alternative setups:

  1. In a multi-user environment it is possible to set up a single open foam server interacting with several PMOD clients.
  2. The typical case, however, is the installation of an open foam server on every machine running PMOD.

The Case path (local) allows setting the location on the file system where the CFD cases will be downloaded from the OpenFOAM server. Similarly, a Backup path can be configured.

The bottom section allows setting the page to be displayed when PGEM module is started: Models, Images or 3D.
