This file describes the tested combinations, but does not imply non-tested combinations do not work.
Thanks for pointing out.

I have tested two cases:
(1) syrthes-4.3.5 / salome-9.4.0 (hdf5-1.10.3, med-4.0.0) / piston_4.0_.med
(2) syrthes-4.3.5 / salome-9.6.0 (hdf5-1.10.3, med-4.1.0) / piston_4.1_.med

Case (1) : successful

Code: Select all

$ source /home/wing/Apps/SALOME-9.4/INSTALL/syrthes-4.3.5/arch/Linux_x86_64/bin/syrthes.profile 
$ /home/wing/Apps/SALOME-9.4/INSTALL/syrthes-4.3.5/arch/Linux_x86_64/bin/convert2syrthes4 -m piston_4.0_.med

Hello,

Looking at the source code of MEDfilecompatiility, which is not used by code_saturne but used by Syrthes, I cannot really tell which part of the test fails (running a debug build with MED also build in debug mode would help).

The "ldd" command on the MED to Syrthes converter is probably a quicker way to determine if the libraries seen at runtime to are really the ones used at compile time.

Otherwise, using SALOME, you can force SMESH to write a MED file in an older version, so that is also a possible workaround for those who need it.

Best regards,

Yvan
