Dear All,

I was wondering if CS5 still supports Syrthes4.3 coupling?

I seem to have a strange problem as I currently can no longer use CS with syrthes coupling.
Every time I try to run I seem to get strange communication errors such as:

Application "fluid" (Code_Saturne 4.2.0) syncronized with status flag 0,
which does not specify a known behavior.

I noticed is that CS5 calls cs_solver version 4.2, is it an intended behaviour?

Also, CS5 works fine on its own, and the same goes for syrthes, so I'm a bit puzzled.
I also had previously the coupling working but I haven't tested it in a while, so I'm not really sure where things went wrong.

Thank you very much for any input,
Kind Regards

Filip

Hello,

Yes, it should work, and should report version 5.0, not 4.2.

Do you also have a version 4.2 installation ? Perhaps a Debian or Ubuntu package ? This could be a conflicting inqtalls issue...

Best regards

Hi Yvan,

it was indeed a conflict with the Ubuntu package, and I solved it removing the package and recompiling manually.
I've added a --prefix to my configuration script, do you think this will allow multiple versions of CS without conflicts?

Thank you very very much for your help,
Kind regards

Hello,

Yes, --prefix allows multiple installs with no conflicts. This is what we use for our internal builds, as major versions are maintained 4 years (2 major versions) so studies started with one version can be continued with the same version even months or a year or 2 later.

Best regards,

Yvan
