Currently I change XP system into linux platform,After installing fluent and gambit for linux ,I find that the gambit can run and produce the mesh files for fluent solver.But when I use ./fluent ,I can find the interface coming into being .After looking overing the menu,I find some of which is in grey which I cann't use.I wanna import the .msh file but can't achieve ,just existing the .cas form (just one file form option),who can tell me if I suceeded in installing the fluent software,or tell how can I import the .msh file. thank you very much!!! cjwjlu@hotmail.com

I think the license server setuping and setting is important,but my gambit program is ok ,so I can't get the ideal of that why the fluent isn't run.I wish someone can tell how install the license sever and how to edit the license.dat file

my system is redhat enterprise 3.0 another question is whether the 9.0 edition for fluent is compatible or not ,the enterprise edition is ok either????

To install FLUENT on a linux box, you just need to run the ./fluent_install script and to set the path to Fluent.Inc in your bash (usually .bashrc in your home directory) configuration file. This procedure is explained in /Fluent.Inc/bin/readme.

To start FLUENT you have to write in the command line 'fluent' (not ./fluent) followed by the solver you want to use.
For example:


fluent 2d


starts the 2d single precision solver. Options are 2d, 2ddp, 3d and 3ddp.

If you don't specify any option, FLUENT will tell you something like:


The versions available in Fluent.Inc/fluent6.1.22/lnx86 are: 2d 2ddp 3d 3ddp


In this case, you just have to choose which version you want to use.

Hope this helps.

Hi

ap

I thing it's compatible, but I'm not sure. Howvere I'm successfully running FLUENT on SuSE 9.1 with the 2.6 kernel.

Hi

ap

Yes, FLUENT runs fine on RedHat9. jx

I don't believe why I cann't start the fluent in the Redhat 9.0 then the lastest redhat fedoral core2 ,even the suse 9.1 ,redhat enterprise as 3.0 .but the gambit is ok. Pls tell me ,what 's edition (7.1,7.2 ,8.0 ,9.0 or 9.1 of RH) you installed. I hope you can tell me the process of installing fluent. ps:I installed the fluent in term of the readme just like this:./fluent_install,then enter the path :/usr/local/fluent,then click the all,all ,yes.then it's ok.The questiong is still like above.

There is an interface of it ,but I don't know how to import the gambit's mesh file(.msh),for the option of read in file menu have only one option (.cas).
