Elmer Discussion Forum

OK I used your mesh file and your sif file and it ran on my machine with no errors. What is your OS and how did you install Elmer?

my operaing system is 64 bit and I downloaded ElmerGUI from Sourceforge site. How can I fix my Elmer because I got error in this step?
thank you

Hi

Are you sure you really fixed the Error Kevin was pointing to. The problem is in parsing already. You had the same problem in three places. The original error was in parsing already, you didn't ever get to solution part.

Hi Peter
I didn't get your point. I fixed the the problem of quotation mark that Kevin mentioned before. Would you please tell me more about your point of view?

I meant more specifically on the os, Windows, Linux, Apple, Android, Chrome? they are all 64 bit. Sourceforge, in my experience is not as good of a source of the Elmer Code as github or the official Elmer web site. Did you download executable binaries from Sourdceforge, or code that you compiled yourself? All of these options will matter.

Also ElmerGUI is one program in the Elmer Suite, there is also ElmerSolver and ElmerGrid, plus others, the GUI is just a graphical interface.

Hi,

About my point. You said:

I fixed the point that you mentioned, but the same error appears.

But if the same error appeared then how can you be sure you fixed the problem in the 1st place?

Dear Kevin
Thank you for your response. I used windows 7 (64bit) and I downloaded Elmer from this https://sourceforge.net/projects/elmerf ... e/download.
Do you mean that I use other sources instead of ElmerGUI? I am wondering if you tell me how I can install ElmerGUI because my professor told me that I have to use ElmerGUI for this modeling.

Hi,

which file did you use for your installation?
If you open a terminal and type ElmerSolver, what does it say?

HTH,
Matthias
