LoadMesh: Requested File is not Exist.

[chivier]

Hello there. I met up with a new problem these days when I was reproducing the result of IceSheet/Greenland on my own.

After executing ElmerSolver, it stopped at a strange position that I have never met brfore.

Code: Select all

I am very confused. I have already downloaded all the data by executing `GET_DATA.sh` script. But why I cannot run the Greenland simulation?

In the SSA.sif file it is looking for the mesh in ./MESH. If it is a linux system file names are case sensitive.
the . means current working directory /MESH means a folder named MESH.

this example looks in a folder called wire for the mesh
