How to launch fluent 6.3.26 on Ubuntu 11.04

Fiska · May 14, 2011, 11:03

Hi guys!
I've just installed fluent 6.3.26 on Ubuntu 11.04, but I cannot launch it.
The software should have been properly installed, but I cannot find the right command
to launch it.
Could you help me, please?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,

If Fluent is properly installed on your machine, you should open a terminal and enter,

fluent 2d

command to run Fluent. If terminal does not respond you positively, Fluent commands are not known by your bashrc file. In Ubuntu you can find your bashrc file in /home/user folder. Notice that bash.bashrc file is hidden. You should add these lines at the end of your bashrc file:

PATH=$PATH:/where_fluent_exist/bin

I hope this helps you.

Hi,
In ubuntu 64 bit you will also need some other packages to execute FLUENT 6.3.26.
