Whitney solver - Wire test case total current calculation

[Rich_B]

Hello,

As shown in this post
viewtopic.php?p=25380&hilit=matc+command+line#p25380

you should be able to start matc from the command line. If matc hasn't been compiled, then it will fail.

As Kevin said, sounds like an installation or compilation issue.

Rich.

Hi

The MATC thing might not be the issue. It is not needed here. It would be better to inform that it is missing only when needed but the parser does not check that.

Still it is probably some installation thing. Can you run any *.grd file in the described manner?

What is your OS and how did you obtain the binary?

Thanks for the prompt reply,

so I have tried to run matc by saying "matc". I think it worked as the cursor went in newline awaiting for instructions. I didnt get any error and when I pressed ctrl+z the standard prompt returned, the output is shown below

Code: Select all

elmeruser@ElmerCSC-VM /mnt/hgfs/gmsh/Connector_AC_analysis/mgdyn_harmonic_wire $ matc
^Z
[2]+  Stopped                 matc
elmeruser@ElmerCSC-VM /mnt/hgfs/gmsh/Connector_AC_analysis/mgdyn_harmonic_wire $ 

I would say thaat matc is present.

Now comes the the part that might be the problem... I'm using a VM at least one year old but just updated successfully (no compiling errors that I'm aware of) a couple of days ago.

Right... I forgot to run another .grd file.

So I have tried this one in https://github.com/ElmerCSC/elmer-elmag ... Magnets/3D

I said: ElmerGrid 1 2 two_bodies3d.grd and everything worked well. See below a picture of ElmerGUI loading the mesh



So the problem is actually with the wire.grd file?

PS: If it helps, the output of ElnerGrid 1 2 two_bodies3d.grd is here

The wire.grd file works as espected on my system

[lazyTom]

So time to download a new virtual machine I guess. Or maybe directly a windows installer.

Thanks for the support!
