opm-material is an infrastructural OPM module for code related with material properties like relative-permeability/capillary pressure laws, thermodynamic relations, flash solvers, empirical heat conduction laws, et cetera. It is a "library-less" module and only requires the availability of the DUNE module "dune-common" and the "opm-common" OPM module. Additionally, the "opm-parser" can optionally be used if ECL input is supposed to be processesed. Historically, opm-material emerged as a spin-off of OPM's eWoms module [1], which in turn is a heavily modified version of the Dumux [2] simulation toolkit for flow and transport in porous media.

This module is distributed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later (GPLv2+). Note, that for these parts the DUNE template exception does NOT apply.

If you need to know the license of an individual header file, refer to the copyright statement at the beginning of each file. To avoid legal issues, the Open Porous Media initiative recommends you to use a license which is compatible with the GNU General Public license, version 3 or later (GPLv3+) for code which you publish that uses any module provided by the Open Porous Media initiative.

The opm-material module is designed to run on Linux platforms. It is also regularly run on Mac OS X. No efforts have been made to ensure that the code will compile and run on windows platforms, but contributions for this are certainly welcome.

The prerequisite "dune-common" module can be downloaded like this:

git clone git://github.com/dune-project/dune-common.git -b releases/2.4

The prerequisite OPM modules are available using the following commands:

git clone git://github.com/OPM/opm-common.git
git clone git://github.com/OPM/opm-parser.git

For a read-only download of the actual opm-material module use:

git clone git://github.com/OPM/opm-material.git

If you want to contribute to the opm-material development, fork OPM/opm-material on github and open pull requests.

There are two ways to build the opm-material module.

In this setup we recommend creating an entirely separate directory outside the directory containing the source code and doing the build from that separate directory (termed "the build directory"). This configuration is sometimes referred to as an "out-of-source build".

As an example, consider the following layout in which "opm-material" refers to the directory containing the package source code as downloaded from GitHub

workspace
  |
  +-- build
  |
  +-- opm-material
  |     |
  |     +-- ...
  |     |
  |     +-- opm
  |     |
  |     +-- ...

The following command will configure a release-type (optimised) build using traditional Unix Makefiles within the "build" directory

cd path/to/build
cmake ../opm-material -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

If you want to debug the code, specify the build type "Debug" instead of "Release" in the command above. This will disable optimizations and make it easier to step through the code.

Building the tests shipped with the module then amounts to typing

make

in the top-level "build" directory; i.e., the directory from which we invoked the "cmake" utility. On a multi-core computer system you may want to build the software in parallel (make(1)'s "job-server" mode) in order to reduce the total amount of time needed to complete the build. To do so, replace the above "make" command with

make -j N

or, possibly,

nice -20 make -j N

in which "N" is an integer that should typically not exceed the number of cores in the system.

Once the library has been built, it can be installed in a central, system-wide location (often in /usr/local) through the command

sudo make install

• Put the opm-material directory in the same directory as the other dune modules to be built (e.g. dune-commmon, dune-grid). Note that for Ubuntu you can install Dune from the ppa as outlined above.
• Run dunecontrol normally. For more information on the dune build system, see http://www.dune-project.org/doc/installation-notes.html

Efforts have been made to document the code with Doxygen. In order to build the documentation, enter the command

make doc

in the topmost directory.

Issues can be reported in the Git issue tracker online at:

http://github.com/OPM/opm-material/issues

To help diagnose build errors, please provide a link to a build log together with the issue description.

You can capture such a log from the build using the script utility, e.g.:

LOGFILE=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M-)build.log ;
    cmake -E cmake_echo_color --cyan --bold "Log file: $LOGFILE" ;
script -q $LOGFILE -c 'cmake ../opm-material -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug' &&
script -q $LOGFILE -a -c 'ionice nice make -j 4 -l 3' ||
cat CMakeCache.txt CMakeFiles/CMake*.log >> $LOGFILE

The resulting file can be uploaded to for instance gist.github.com.
