inv_channnel.cfg tutorial MGCYCLE error message

craterbater · December 23, 2014, 12:30

Not a question, but a note to the SU2 administrators or other new users. I down loaded and compiled SU2 on 23DEC14. I downloaded the SU2 TestCases directory this morning. Running inv_channel.cfg, I got the following error:
"MGCYCLE: improper option value for type unsigned short". The code crashes on the following line with preceding note:

"% Multi-grid cycle (V_CYCLE, W_CYCLE, FULLMG_CYCLE)
MGCYCLE=V_CYCLE"

Comparing this line with the same line in /SU2/QuickStart/inv_NACA0012.cfg (which works):

"% Multi-Grid Cycle (0 = V cycle, 1 = W Cycle)
MGCYCLE= 0"

..it seems that the integers work, but not the tokens.

Thanks. I have encountered the same issue. And I guess they tried to change it, but they haven't done it in the code.

Hi,

It appears that you are using an older version of SU2 (pre 3.2.7) with the test cases for the current release (3.2.7). A pre-3.2.7 SU2 does not work with current configure files so this kind of issues occurred.

To solve this problem, you can download the 3.2.7 source then re-install SU2, or you can download test cases for older releases HERE.

Thanks, I am just about to learn SU2. It is really helpful.
