Dear Foamers,

Does paraFoam runs as a parallel process by default or do I have to make an mpirun command.

I ask that because as I've read about setting up a ParaView server, the client command was:

Quote:

mpirun -n 4 ./pvserver ...

I tried on my PC (locally without any connections or anything) to run:

Quote:

mpirun -n 4 paraFoam &

What happened was that 4 paraFoam instances were opened. So, I guess I did not make a right assumption.

Feedback is welcome

Best regards,
Hisham
