Calculix-1.7 for download: Free Three-Dimensional Structural Finite Element Program

[Erik Baigar]

Dear SGI users,

I just put a ready-to-go tardist binary distribution of the
most recent version of CalculiX onto my homepage. This is a
3D finite element program which comes with a frontend for
data entry and result visualization (cgx) and a backend (ccx)
for doing the calculations. Please feel free to download this
nice piece of software from (tested on Indigo2, Octane under
6.5.22 but without any guarantee of features and usability
and accuracy of the results):

http://www.baigar.de/irix/CalculiX-1.7-bin.IRIX6.5.tardist

For details on CalculiX please visit the project's web page
at http://www.calculix.de/.

If you want to use the included help (which will reside in
/usr/freeware/doc/CalculiX, both as postscript and html) you
should set the following link after installing the tardist:

su ; cd /usr/local ; ln -s /usr/freeware/doc/CalculiX/ CalculiX

Calculix launches mozilla to show the html based help. Examples
can be found in /usr/freeware/doc/CalculiX/examples. If you want
to play with a simple sample, enter the following commands after
installation:

cd /usr/freeware/doc/CalculiX/examples
cgx -v result.frd

Please enjoy,

best regards,

Erik.

Maybe the programm isnt compiled with rpath you have to add
/usr/freeware/lib32 to your LD_LIBRARAYN32.

If you are using bash, the syntax to set the variable would be
(If I remember correctly):

export LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH=/usr/freeware/lib32

Maybe you want to look whether there are any library variables set
beforehand:

printenv | grep LD

If you want to append an additional path to an existing one, I'd
suggest doing

export LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH=/usr/freeware/lib32:$LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH

Its "LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH".

Hard to believe that you never heard about ;)

Hi Walter,

on my system I do not have a LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH set, too.
Instead there is a link set of the following form in
/usr/lib32:

libglut.so -> /usr/freeware/lib32/libglut.so.3.7

So you should become root and enter the following commands:

cd /usr/lib32
ln -s /usr/freeware/lib32/libglut.so.3.7 libglut.so

After this it should work. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,

Erik.

Aha. So

OK? But:

Btw... these symlinks are only a nasty hack. Right way was to setup your
environment. Somewhere there is SGIs fixpath script which modify your
systems settings and userenv to take notice the additional pathes.


@Eric,
can you provide your patches so that iam able to create a nekoware
package? I already see that cc and g77 is used and not SGIs f77. But i
get some missing *.h during the compile. And none of the missing files
(misc.h?) ships with the source.

I installed the fw_glut package from freeware.sgi at least twice...
no libglut.so file showing up anywhere somehow. Not mentioned by swmgr.
There is, of course, such a file in the /usr/nekoware branch.
Better not mix this, or am I supposed to?

Maybe the package only comes with a static archive and not with a shared
lib?

You can use showfiles or the versions command to determine if there is a
file installed from a tardist or not.

[o3k]:~ $ showfiles --libglut.so
f 50973 389964 neko_glut.sw.lib usr/nekoware/lib/libglut.so

[o3k]:~ $ versions long neko_glut.sw.lib
f 8506 299 neko_glut.sw.lib usr/nekoware/lib/libfglut.a
f 37364 147 neko_glut.sw.lib usr/nekoware/lib/libfglut.so
f 64829 146 neko_glut.sw.lib usr/nekoware/lib/libglsmap.a
f 57786 68 neko_glut.sw.lib usr/nekoware/lib/libglsmap.so
f 2676 1113 neko_glut.sw.lib usr/nekoware/lib/libglut.a

f 58893 314 neko_glut.sw.lib usr/nekoware/lib/libmui.a
f 22980 208 neko_glut.sw.lib usr/nekoware/lib/libmui.so


You can extrat the content of a tardist without the need for installing
it with inst/swmgr.

mkdir /tmp/test
showfiles -x -r /tmp/test -f /path/to/foobar.tardist

1# showfiles --libglut.so

let´s see what happens if I try that one instead:

/usr/freeware/bin/cgx: rld: Fatal Error: Cannot Successfully map soname
'libglut.so' version 'sgi3.7' under any of the filenames [...]

so the nekoware version seems to be different... there is another file

2# ls -la /usr/lib32/libglut*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 34 März 5 18:41
/usr/lib32/libglut.so -> /usr/freeware/lib32/libglut.so.3.7

which causes the same error as above without mentioning a version no

Guess I tried all variants now to have the right lib in the right place.
Do you have CalculiX running? Btw., I´m on 6.5.28

cgx is linked against a libglut.so wich provides a version id. So no
other file can match the needs. Doesnt matter if its the same or not....
without the version info compiled in it never can works.

I cant get it to compile but i dont have spend alot of time to it. One
of the reason was that GNU compiler is used instead SGIs fortran. But
i'll ask Eric and see if send me some patches.

From one of your previous posting:

Your ls from above doesnt show a libglut.so.3.7, so you symlink is broken.

Linked cgx again with the -static option and the new binary (having
the same size as the old one) does not require libglut any more. So I'd
really expect, the new binary (http://www.baigar.de/irix/cgx) fixes the
problem.

As a test I removed all libglut-files from my system and the new cgx
works.
BTW: I do not know why the "old" cgx requires a libglut - the routines
are
built into cgx since they are contained in the source code of cgx.

Please try the new binary! This will fix the problem! Will update the
tardist
shortly...

Replaced the old tardist by a new one containing the fixed binary.
I'd be interested if this solves Walther's problem...

(misc.h?) ships with the source.

Hi,

sorry for the inconvenience you enconter with the CalculiX.tardist.
I used the gnu-tools for compile since I do not have a valid MIPS-Pro
and I started with the standard distribution from the CalculiX page.
During compile there have been minor glitches but I did not need any
additional files.

Just looked at the source tree again and discovered, that there
are glut-3.7 sources within the CalculiX sources which are compiled,
too.
But I did not install this on my machines before testing e.g. on
Octane, so it should be OK. I will have to figure out, what the
CalculiX is using this for....

Maybe I will be able to fix this in the tardist...

Will keep you up to date,

Erik.

...very strange - it builds it's owns libglut-routines and than wants
a library, too? Recompiled with -static and got a binary
of the same size now which seems not to require the external
libglut??!?

...Please try the following binary and tell me, whether this
fixes the lubglut-Problem, I will include this in the
tardist if it's OK:

Hi Erik,

it is! No complaining about a missing libglut.so any more.
