Which FOAM package should be downloaded for a Dell Xeon intel 64 bit processor

January 25, 2006, 10:23

Hi all,
I am a new user of OpenFoam. I have a Dell Xeon ( intel 64 bit processor) with Fedora 4 installed. I was wondering as to which FOAM package should be installed?

Regards
Preetham

32bit if you're not planning to run more than ~2M cells on one processor. 64bit otherwise.

The OS can handle both 32 and 64 bit executables.
