Elmer Discussion Forum

Hello, Have you read through GetStartedElmer.pdf located at: https://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/physics/elmer/doc/ If you search in the doc for the phrase ‘Unable to start Paraview’. it will lead you to the instructions on installing Paraview. Then look for the section on setting the path to Paraview....

Take a look at this forum post:

Hello Phil,

Looks like some good progress. Next step is to look through the log, there should be some clues from the error messages. Look for missing items, or items flagged as errors.

Hello Phil, Good to see that configure was successful. Not good to see the error in generate. One way to figure out if it is a VS Code setup issue, would be to download and install Cmake. Open Cmake-gui and run configure in the elmerfem directory. When prompted, create a build directory and select '...

Try updating to the latest version and try running again. Tip: save the solver log file to a text file and attach the text file to your post. R...

So when one wants to update Elmer, download the latest nightly Windows installer and run. I try to update Elmer every m...

Hello, Yes, changes in the source code will be included in each nightly build. Any changes should show up in one day, or maybe two days at the most. Which OS are you using to run Elmer? If Windows, download the latest installer from https://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/physics/elmer/bin/windows/ If usin...

Hello,

Just to check the easy stuff, we deleted the cmake cache and deleted the previous build folder, followed by configure and generate, before rerunning make?

Sorry in advance, in case you already did those steps.

Hello, If you search the forum for compiling Elmer with MPI = True in Windows, you will find a lack of success by others. The simplest approach to successfully compile Elmer in Windows is to disable MPI, such as setting WITH_MPI FALSE in Cmake. Rich. Edit: If one compiles Elmer in the Elmer Virtual ...

Hello Roland, Using the levelset3 test case, and simply adding 'Post File = case.vtu' to the simulation section, leads to no output file being created. If one changes the output level from 5 to 6, this message appears in the solver log: MAIN: ------------------------------------- AddVtuOutputSolverH...
