vim Addon Highlight for OpenFOAM

Hi all together,

i am working with OpenFOAM and vim for changing all the files. When i work with bash or c++ the nice thing is, that vim highlight the code so i decided to create a vim highlight for the standard openFOAM case files.

I am not sure if that is helpful for anybody but i wanna share it with you. Its just a beta version and not an accurate tool. I fixed some bugs but there are still some and i implemented just the standard boundary conditions and solvers.

You can give me a feedback and i ll work on a new version for that.

you can download it on:

www.holzmann-cfd.de on the button "Skripte & Addons"

Greetings
Tobi

Hi Tobi.

Tahnks for sharing. your script seems very useful. Unfortunately i wasn't able to get it because i get an error 404 when i try to download it.

hope it is not an april's fool joke :D

regards

Edit: I've been succesfull eliminating the 1.1 in the filename. is it still the latest and gratest version?

Hi,

thx for the error report.
that was not really a april joke :D
i uploaded the file but did not rename it to 1.1 - now i ve renamed the file and the download is working.

And yes - its still the latest version.
Let me know if its useful for you!

tobi

Nice work Tobias! Thanks for this.

I upgraded your install-script a bit, so that it will also work for non-root users of VIm

Code:

mkdir -p $HOME/.vim

mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/syntax

mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/colors



cp -i syntax/openfoam.vim $HOME/.vim/syntax/

cp -i scripts.vim $HOME/.vim/

#cat .vimrc >> $HOME/.vimrc

cp -i colors/openfoamcolor.vim $HOME/.vim/colors

Also, for the installscript, it may better to be a bit more careful with .vimrc and .vim/scripts. I can imagine that it may be better to cat >>

hi berhard,

thx for that new code.
i update my install file now :)

Thx.

Tobi

PS: the suggestion with cat is very good. I ll write a readme with short information!

Hi all,

a new version of the vim Addon for OpenFOAM is avaiable on my homepage.

Have fun!

Tobi

HI all,

its avaiable on git :)

https://github.com/shor-ty/vimExtensionOF

Tobi

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

Some mod may make it more precise though:

Code:

let cnum = 1

while 1

   if (getline(cnum) =~ 'FoamFile')

      setfiletype openfoam

      colorscheme openfoamcolorBlackWhite

      break

   elseif (cnum == 20)

      break

   endif

   let cnum += 1

endwhile

Kalle

sounds very good - i ll implement it next week when I am back on my personal computer :)

thanks good idea

>>> Changed <<< :)

Hi all,

I made some changes during the last half year.

Now I ll update for the version 2.2.x and adding new keywords.

Have fun.

Hi,

thanks for sharing this, it works perfectly.
I have been using highlighting for c++ till now, but this one is much better.

Karel

Hi Karel,

thanks for your feedback.

I am going to extend the keywords in my winter holyday.

I Keep you posted

What might help you, is the following command from the $FOAM_SRC directory.

Code:

grep -oh "TypeName(\"[A-Za-z0-9]*\")" -r * | cut -d\" -f2

TypeName defines the name in the runtime selectiontable, so this is basically what you put in all the dictionaries :)

Hello all,

I added new keywords to the vim Extension and also changed the tab size to 4 spaces.
At the moment I switch all my repositories from github to the bitbucket server. Therefor you find the latest version here:

https://bitbucket.org/shor-ty/vimextensionopenfoam

Hello all,

I reorganized the file tree in the vim extension. Now you can add things very easy and it looks like the openfoam tree:

Code:

.

├── openfoam

│   ├── 0

│   │   ├── BC.vim

│   │   └── foamVariables.vim

│   ├── constant

│   │   ├── polyMesh

│   │   │   ├── blockMeshDict.vim

│   │   │   └── boundary.vim

│   │   ├── radiationProperties.vim

│   │   ├── RASProperties.vim

│   │   ├── regionProperties.vim

│   │   ├── solidThermophysicalProperties.vim

│   │   ├── thermodynamicProperties.vim

│   │   ├── transportProperties.vim

│   │   └── turbulenceProperties.vim

│   ├── general.vim

│   └── system

│       ├── changeDictionaryDict.vim

│       ├── controlDictFunctions.vim

│       ├── controlDict.vim

│       ├── decomposePar.vim

│       ├── fvSchemes.vim

│       ├── fvSolution.vim

│       ├── setFieldsDict.vim

│       └── snappyHexMeshDict.vim

└── openfoam.vim

If you want to add new syntax highlighting, just add a new file or edit the existing one.
The next days I will check out the colour schemes again to be more flexible.

Additionally I added a new check in the install script.
Have fun,...

Out of interest what addon/s do you use for code completion, jumping around the OpenFoam source code, compiling, debugging, etc. in vim?

Dear all,

I am happy to let you know that I finished the version 3.0.
This contains a lot news. Especially the syntax in the files which looks like that now:

Code:

"----------------------------------------------"

" Contributor: Tobias Holzmann                 "

" Last Change: November 2014                   "

" Version:     3.0                             "

" Email:       Tobias.Holzmann@Holzmann-cfd.de "

"----------------------------------------------"





" thermophysicalProperties

"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------





    "- Special behavior of specie mixture

    syn match thermodynamicSpecie2

    \ " \=specie\{1} \=

    \\| \=mixture\{1} \="

    hi link thermodynamicSpecie2 foam256_keyOnLeftSide





    "- Special behavior of specie at the end

    syn match thermodynamicSpecie1

    \ " \{1}specie\{1};\{1}"

    hi link thermodynamicSpecie1 foam256_keyOnRightSide





    "- Dictionarys (main)

    syn match thermodynamicDict

    \ "^thermoType

    \\|^mixture"

    hi link thermodynamicDict foam256_dictionary





    "- Special keywords on the left side

    syn keyword thermodynamicKeys

    \ thermo

    \ equationOfState

    \ energy

    \ thermodynamics

    \ transport

    hi link thermodynamicKeys foam256_keyOnLeftSide





    "- Thermodynamic models etc.

    syn keyword thermodynamicSettings

    \ nMoles

    \ molWeight

    \ Tlow

    \ Tcommon

    \ Thigh

    \ highCpCoeffs

    \ lowCpCoeffs

    \ CpCoeffs

    \ muCoeffs

    \ kappaCoeffs

code is much more readable

line size of each line is limited to 80 characters

additional checkouts in the script.vim to check in a better way and let the color be more consistent

I also created a bash function which will check automatically the available BC and insert them to the file (at the moment not published, but I will insert it)

New color schemes with 256 color support now and its a lot easier to change the colors now and modify it like you want

A lot of new keywords added

Available at bitbucket.org/shor-ty

I hope its useful for anybody using vim!
Feel free to modify the files and push it to the repository.

@Logan: Plugins for C++, Jumping with buffers and ":b# or number" for compiling I think you can do it because you can do everything in vim. I have to look for that.

Here is what I've been able to sort out in vim to get it to be a complete IDE for OpenFOAM

Syntax Highlighting:
At the moment I'm using standard C++ syntax highlighting, but will be trying out Tobi's addon soon.

Code completion and jumping to definitions/declarations etc:
I was able to get the YouCompleteMe addon for vim (https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe) to work very nicely with OpenFoam.

Compiling:
A simple key binding to wmake in vim

Code:

nmap <silent> <Leader>mf :!wmake %:p:h<CR>

Debugging:
Haven't looked into this yet

Please notice that my stuff is not for coding.
Its only for the openfoam cases.

For completition also use

Code:

CTRL-N or P

And the wmake - its clear (:

Thanks for the link for code completition. I think its similar to: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1520
Maybe this would be very nice to have in the FOAM files too!
