install OpenFCST in Ubuntu 16.04

[Morteza Namvar]

Hi everybody

I want to install OpenFCST in Ubuntu 16.04. To do that, I installed all the external dependencies in Ubuntu.

I should say, that it is possible to install the deal.II v8.4.1 in this version of Ubuntu, but not to install OpenFCSTV3. (Also, I tried OpenFCST_v0.2 but the same problem.)

I guess the problem is some of the libraries use Python 3.6, and some of them need Python 2.7. I think this is because the version of libraries is not specified.

• Did you recently install OpenFCSTv03?
• Is there any updated version of OpenFCST?

Hi Morteza,

Thank you for your interest in OpenFCST. The best way to try OpenFCST is to use the Virtual Box version from the Downloads page. It works out of the box, and there is no need to install anything.

We plan to release a new version of the software that greatly expands the functionality of the code and adds more tutorials. However, I cannot comment on the timeline.

The issue you experience might be related to the fact that OpenFCST v.0.3 uses Python 2.7 and you might have both Python 2 and Python 3 installed. You can resolve this by setting up a conda environment with Python 2.7 by following the installation instructions in Chapter 3 of the Reference Guide.

Best,

Aslan

Dear Aslan

Thank you for your help. 

I followed the user guide. However, as the document is outdated I had to do something extra to install and build the code.

By the way, I executed the cathode example, and the .log file is attached. Please take a look at the attached file and let me know if it is correct or not. 

Now I want to run the Anod example but I get an error. The log file is attached as Anode.log to this email.

Please take a look at it and let me know if I need to change anything.

Note: To do the simulation, I copy/paste the main.prm and data.prm files in the Install/bin directory and then execute the ./fuel_cell-2d.bin main.prm .

Best regards

Hi Morteza,

The output appears to be correct. If you course the fcst_env.sh file by typing source fcst_env.sh from the Install folder, then you can go to each example, to the regression_test and run run_test.sh which will execute the test and make sure the example run correctly. To test the cathode example, you need to run the following run_test.sh file: /Install/examples/cathode/polarization_curve/regression/run_test.sh

Could you please let us know what you needed to change to make the code run? It might be able to help other users while we prepare the next release.

Best,
Marc
