Installation Videos

[Prof. S. Govindjee]

To help others in installing FEAP, I assembled two videos showing a complete install of FEAP on:

(1) A Mac, which is also the same for a Linux/Unix machine as well as a Windows machine with Cygwin installed

and

(2) A Windows 7 Professional machine with Visual Studio 2010 and Intel XE Fortran 2011 -- 64 bit architecture.

Both videos can be found at:  http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrMPyRXvlE9yx2bvWk0F2TX2FxfUafbfz

Dear Prof. S. Govindjee,

would you like to share to us how to install in debug mode? thank you very much for your kindly attention

[Prof. S. Govindjee]

One Linux is is easy just add -g to the compiler options in makefile.in.
On windows, I can not do this as my version of the Intel compiler is broken with respect to this feature.

Thank you for your tutorial videos, Prof. S. Govindjee! I am sure it will help a lot beginners. On the other hand, will you be considering posting videos on advanced topics like creating a user element, user material or a user command? By the way, I have learned a lot from your website.

Thanks alot for your video, it saved me alot of time!
If i use windows-32 i need to feel integer4, i understand right? Please sorry for my bad english

[FEAP_Admin]

Yes.  On Win32 you will need to use the include files in include\ and include\integer4.  Do not use the files in \include\integer8.

Dear

I installed Feap8.4 on os x 10.9.1, during installation I think I followed the video carefully. However when I tried run one of example input file I got the following messages. is there any one has the same problem? thank you very much

please redo your installation adding -g to the compiler options.  then run dsymutil on your executable 'dsymutil feap'.

with this you should get a more informative error message.

you can also try running in the debugger (gdb or ldb) to get more information about the error.

Yes.  On Win32 you will need to use the include files in include\ and include\integer4.  Do not use the files in \include\integer8.

There a couple of possible reasons:

1) When you built the program you did tell the compiler that you wanted to build a 64bit executable.  Note the default in the Intel compiler is 32-bits.

2) It could be that you have a 32-bit operating system installed (even if your computer has 64-bit hardware).

Hi FEAP_Admin,
I have used instructions from the following youtube video of Prof. Govindjee (I am using FEAP 8.2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QAh6QvOT6s
 
I am using 64 bit Intel Visual Fortran 11.1.048 (with Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7 64bit). I have checked the compiler version in Visual Studio menu: Tools -> Options -> Intel Fortran -> Compilers : x64



ad the Configuration Manager also uses Release:x64 configuration



ad finally the include files are also integer8



despite all this, I am still getting this error  during Build:

Error   1    error #6362: The data types of the argument(s) are invalid.   [FREE]   D:\feap82_test\ver82\compile\setmem.f   145   
Error   2    error #6362: The data types of the argument(s) are invalid.   [FREE]   D:\feap82_test\ver82\compile\setmem.f   199   
Error   3   Compilation Aborted (code 1)   D:\feap82_test\ver82\compile\setmem.f   1   

I will be very thankful for any hint about resolving the error.
Best regards,
Mubeen.

[Prof. S. Govindjee]

The error you see is the one that you get due to a mis-match in pointer type.  Maybe when you created the compile directory, you copied in the include/integer4 files?  The compiler would then probably see these before it sees the ones in the include/integer8 directory.
Also make sure that x64 is showing on the chosen configuration when you are in the main interface (at the top).

PS: I suggest you upgrade your code to the latest release (version 8.5).

[Prof. R.L. Taylor]

Your version is very old and was developed before integer*8 was fully implemented.  You need to change the array "adr(*)" in the routine setmem.f (windows directory) to and integer*8 variable.  There are probably many other places that need to be changed so the recommendation to upgrade is the best option - or possibly stick to an integer*4 compile?

Hi ALL,

I followed instructions in youtube video of Prof. Govindjee (I am using FEAP 8.2)

I am using 64 bit Intel.Visual.Fortran.Composer.XE.2011.5.221 (with Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 64bit).

I have some errors, one of them is: PetscErrorCode ierr

The creation of the library is failed and the errors are showed in attached picture:

I will be very thankful for any hint about resolving the error.

Best regards,

Thanks for ALL.

[Prof. S. Govindjee]

parfeap is only supported on Linux/Mac OS X.

[elhoucine]

Thank you for the information.
