ElmerGui exits with Error on loading .unv Mesh-Files

[Daniel]

Hi there,

I have some kind of problem, I can't figure out myself.
With Windows everything works fine, but there are not all equations available as in the Ubuntu-Version. so I installed the Ubuntu version via synaptic.
Now, the Gui opens and reading in .inp-files seems to work properly, even if the boundarys are not that good. In the windows version, I get the best results by reading .unv-files. But with Ubuntu, this just does't seem possible. Everytime I try this, there is nothing read in or the Gui is crashing. Does anyone of you work with the Ubuntu version and knows similar problems or is it a Problem with my installation?
Which format do you use for input?

Thank you very much!

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

don't know about the file loading problems, unless it's simply a dos vs unix file format
problem, which could be resolved by dos2unix-command, but maybe not that simple.

Anyway, you could propably add the equation sets you see in the Ubuntu version to the
default configuration of the Windows version by simply copying the xml-files from
edf-extra\ to edf\:

copy %ELMER_GUI_HOME\edf-extra\*.xml to %ELMER_GUI_HOME%\edf\

And restarting your ElmerGUI.

Hope it helps, Juha

>copy %ELMER_GUI_HOME\edf-extra\*.xml to %ELMER_GUI_HOME%\edf\
should read
copy %ELMERGUI_HOME%\edf-extra\*.xml %ELMERGUI_HOME%\edf\

The version presently in Ubuntu Karmic is SVN revision 4214, which is about 6 months old. You can get a newer version (4298) from the Opennovation backport mirror at http://www.opennovation.org/ubuntu .

Hi All,

To those having problems with certain file formats (such as .unv) it would be very helpful if you could reduce the problem size to a minimum (so that the problem persists) and attach the file in question with the transcript from ElmerGUI logger (or ElmerGrid if applicable) . Debugging is difficult without some problematic examples. If you could also grant permissons to the file we could add appropriate files to the ElmerGUI samples (with credentials) so that it could be used for similar purposes also in the future.

PS. In a related discussion I got some rather large .unv file which was split into three parts. However, already the attempt to merge them into one resulted to an error

Hi Peter,

I think you are refering with your PS to my case.
I will send you in my thread an instruction how to merge the three split files.
With the latest svn version of Elmer "Revision 4298" the segmentation fault does not occur anymore .

Thanks
