Differences between SU2 and SU2_EDU

LetsCFD · February 21, 2016, 22:32

Could you please describe the differences between the SU2 and SU2_EDU in terms of the capabilities and features? I wish you could list the differences in a comparison table.

I am able to build the SU2_EDU from the source easily, but cannot build the SU2 because I have the error "make[1]: *** [libSU2_a-config_structure.o] Error 4".

I am just wondering how much I would miss if you use SU2_EDU only.

Thanks.

In terms of the compilation error, there is likely some more informative error message further above in your output. You may also find some of the forum posts under 'SU2 Installation' helpful, and the installation instructions on the wiki: https://github.com/su2code/SU2/wiki/Installation

In addition, you can download the executables which do not require you to compile the code. If you need to run parallel or with CGNS compatibility you will need to compile as those features require third party libraries.

A tip:

If it is configured this way, the SU2 build on Ubuntu 14.04 will be successful.

./configure CXXFLAGS="-O3"
