Dear all,

I am runing a case with porous material and using poros1 and posdat subroutines. Two warning #526 and #528 occur just as following:

*** WARNING # 526 ***POROS1 ACTIVATED BUT NOT USED

*** WARNING # 528 ***POSDAT ACTIVATED BUT NOT USED

I am sure that two subroutins are compiled and linked with STAR. I am wondering why they occurs?

Any suggestions or comments are highly appciated.

Thanks in advance. aneshe.

The warnings definitely suggest that there is no user coding. Are you sure it compiled?

Richard, Thanks for your reply. I think they are compiled. Following are some response messages on the control window after I issue "STAR -UFILE"

PNP: Buliding New dynamic shared object "libstarusr.dll" PNP: Packing poros1.obj PNP: Packing posdat.obj PNP: Packing libstarusr.dll #creating import lib -libstarusr.dll

Is it compiled?

Thanks again? aneshe

PNP: Buliding New dynamic shared object "libstarusr.dll"

PNP: Packing poros1.obj

PNP: Packing posdat.obj

PNP: Pacing libstarusr.dll

#creating import lib -libstarusr.dll

Is it compiled?

Thanks again? aneshe

are you running the case parallel or serial?

I am not sure. In the msg file, there is a line:

PNP: Initialized [] Automatic Sequential Automatic Parallel analyzer.

My CPU is Intel T2500 which has 2 cores.

It should be serial run from the contents in msg file as below:

PNP: Spawning STAR process on single node.

how are you starting the run up then? what command are you using and which system operating system are you using and which compiler do you have?

I just issue "star" command. OS is winxp sp2 and compiler is absoft fortran 8.2.

Acctually, I can run the cases with subroutine of bcdefi.f smoothly.

Thanks for you attention.

what is the contents of the routines, are you sure they are not empty?

yeah, they are not empty, both of them have more than 200 lines

do you have the right file structure? you need your subroutines in an directory "ufile" which is on the same level than your .geom and .prob

yes, they are in the same level. I still work on this issue, hopfully can figure it out in the near days.

hi aneshe,
did you edited these two subroutines with your own coding? if not, go to the ufile directory, which is in your case directory, and just delete both of them. if you planned them to be used during your simulation, they should be switched on in prostar. for posdat.f to be switched on, type
<code>prfield,none,,,user</code>
in prostar output window. typing
<code>help prfield</code>
may be useful as well. for poros1.f, typing
<code>help porosity</code>
could help
hope it helps

Dear vladimir,

Thank you very much for your support. I will try it accordingly,

B.R.

Aneshe.
