OpenSees 2.0 Linux Version

Post by dkkim » Mon Apr 28, 2008 5:08 pm

I have tried to install OpenSees to a supercom of my univ.

I installed OpenSees ver1.7.5 with Unix version.

Are there many differences between ver 1.7.5 and ver 2.0?

If it is or I have to use it, I'd like to use ver. 2.0....

but I could not find OpenSee ver2.0 for Unix..


1. How could I use it with Linux system ?

2. Is "MPICH2" required for Linux system ?

Thanks,

2.0 is now available on developer download page. you can always obtain the latest code using cvs. the main difference is the parallel
applications, though there are some additional material models.

MPICH2 is only required if you want to run the parallel applications.

Hi,

I might try to use a large computer cluster,named Ada, at Rice University. "Ada" is running SuSE 9.0 Linux and the 2.6.5 kernel, with small changes made by Cray, particularly for their RapidArray interconnect.

I have never compiled and debugged a very large C/C++ program before and I don't have any experience on how to run OpenSees in a cluster. All I need is to run a model in a sequential manner, nothing fancy. Can anyone give me some preliminary steps including downloading the Linux-compatible OpenSees version...

I'll appreciate any suggestions,

on linux machines you need to download the source, copy a Makefile.def.XX from the OpenSees?MAKES directory to OpenSees/Makefile.def .. edit it to suit the machine setup and type make.

Is this still the case?

Thanks,

you don't need tcl8.5 .. if you have 8.4 that works as well .. just don't pass the TCL85 flag in c++ options
