open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi,

I am trying to run a Telemac 2D model on windows and get this error message:

I do not understand what it means, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

This could be due to spaces in the directory names ?

Hi JMH,

Yes you are correct,I seem to be able to get a bit further by removing the spaces, but now I get the following error:

runcode::main:
c:\opentelemac\BritishIslesModel\Telemacfiles:
|runCAS: fail to run
| mpiexec.exe -localonly 2 -wdir c:\opentelemac\BritishIslesModel\Telema

c:\opentelemac\BritishIslesModel\Telemacfiles>

Hello,

You seem to be missing the -n in front of the 2 in your mpiexec. This should be set in the mpiexec command line within your config file (there are examples on the SVN repository).

(I presume MPI is installed and working properly)

Hope this helps.
Sébastien.

I put the -n infront of the 2 but an error message still appears:

runcode::main:
c:\opentelemac\BritishIslesModel\Telemacfiles:
|runCAS: fail to run
| mpiexec.exe -localonly -n2 -wdir c:\opentelemac\BritishIslesModel\Tele

Hello,

Sorry to come back to it, but can you add a space between -n and 2 (just to make sure).

Another possible problem for mpiexec to fail is the absence of registration for the user. Can you try running the example provided with MPI (cpi.exe) using mpiexec ? It is possible this may trigger the registration of the user with the smpd service (which should be running in the background).

To test if smpd runs, just try:
smpd -install

Hope this helps,
Sébastien.

I tried putting a space inbetween but the same error message appears, the strange thing is when I run another model in a different folder it works ok, indicating I presume registration.

When I type in smpd -install the following appears:

OpenSCManager failed:
Access is denied. (error 5)
Unable to remove the previous installation, install failed.

Whish I assume means that it is already installed?

Hi,

Could you try to relaunch the command from within the temporary folder and tell us if you have any message ?

mpiexec.exe -localonly 2 -wdir c:\opentelemac\BritishIslesModel\Telema
cfiles\Steering.txt_2013-08-19-09h52min12s c:\opentelemac\BritishIslesModel\Tele
macfiles\Steering.txt_2013-08-19-09h52min12s\out_telemac2dv6p2.exe

Hope it helps,
Yoann

smpd -install should not fail. If the service is already running it would just restart the service as opposed to installing it for the first time. It looks like you do not have access to smpd / MPI with your user name.

Try also the mpiexec -n 2 cpi.exe, in addition to what Yoann suggests

You may have to re-install MPI, in which case you need to link all TELEMAC executables against it (again).

You said that it work with another simulation. Can you let us know what you think is different about it ?

Thanks.

Hi Yoann,

When I put the command smpd -install in the temporary folder I get the same message:

c:\Windows\Temp> smpd -install
OpenSCManager failed:
Access is denied. (error 5)
Unable to remove the previous installation, install failed.

Sebourban, what do you mean try the mpiexec -n 2 cpi.exe?

The difference between the two models is the geometry and boundary conditions.
