open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hello, though I've been using Telemac for a little while, this is my first time attempting an install on a new machine by myself. As such, I decided to try the installation with Python rather than Perl.

Quick rundown:
-Python 2.7.3 is installed and accessible from the command line (2.7.5 was giving me issues which I believe you're aware of)
-Intel Visual Fortran Compiler Professional 11, Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0, and Microsoft Windows SDK are installed and accessible (I had extensive issues with missing libraries but they were finally resolved by adding a number of new environment variables)
-MPICH2 is installed and accessible. The pre-compiled METIS library is in the correct folder with respect to systel.cfg and smpd is installed and running.
-I downloaded the .zip for telemac2d (parallel installation) and placed everything in the appropriate directory (there was a problem with the pytel folder but I was able to get the correct files from the forums)

I also had a problem when trying to run a simulation where a fatal error would occur, stating that the program I was trying to run had not been built for the machine's processor. Something to do with an option in the Intel compiler. I was able to resolve that by changing my configuration file.

At this point, I am able to compile without any issues.

So I've scoured the forums, solved a dozen different issues with my installation, but now I've run into a problem for which there doesn't seem to be any help. When I attempt to run a sample problem, such as the hydraulic_jump, using simply runcode.py telemac2d cas.txt the program only gets as far as...

before getting stuck there. Nothing happens, I can't enter new commands. A file is indeed produced but clearly the simulation hasn't taken place. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I noticed that you are executing the parallel module (with 1 process only). I was wondering if you are able to run a validation case in serial.

It would be usefull to see your systel.cfg as well.

Costas

I'm not as familiar with the commands for this version. What command would I use to run the serial version specifically?

Here's my configuration file...

I've changed my systel.cfg slightly (see attachment). I'm not sure what did it, I started running the command line as administrator too, but I seem to be able to run telemac in scalar mode. I'm using the command

runcode.py telemac2d -s -c wintel cas.txt

and I've successfully run the "cavity," "hydraulic jump," and "m2wave" cases. The "dambreak" scenario reported an error...

but given the other successful runs maybe that doesn't have anything to do with my installation. Trying to run a simulation in parallel mode however, such as the "malpasset" case, still gives me the same result as before. I'm using the command

runcode.py telemac2d -s -c wintelmpi cas.txt

and I believe I've modified the cas and mpi configuration files correctly to work with this machine. The result is shown below...

I've added the cas and mpi configuration files as attachments below.

Oddly enough, after the command line gets stuck as shown above, if I go to the sortie file and click on out_princi.exe the simulation appears to continue. At the end the window abruptly closes, but I managed to get a screenshot (attachment).

Sorry to keep posting but things keep happening. After my last post where I clicked on the executable in the sortie file, suddenly parallel mode seems to work. I have no idea why. The command I've been using is

runcode.py telemac2d -s -c wintelmpi cas.txt

I was able to run "bumpcri," "gouttedo," "ondem2," and "malpasset" successfully. The "culm" scenario is reporting an error as shown below

but maybe as with "dambreak" in scalar mode this wasn't due to my installation. It seems that telemac is working now (at least most of the time). If you have any explanation as to why it started working suddenly, I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks for your time!

Hello,

I wonder if you have the correct test case for culm. In version 6.1 the file t2d_culm.qsl starts with t=2.0 while in version 6.2 it starts with t=0.0, this is probably your problem.

Regards,

JMH

Try to run the commands from within the command prompt so that the output remains visible. Also make sure that you are running validation cases from the v6p2 repository. Older steering files may not be compatible with the v6p2 version, so an error can occur which has nothing to do with your installation of telemac.

You should be looking for this at the repository (malpasset case for v6p2):
I hope it helps,
