I am trying to run an FDS calculation via a Linux terminal. Everything does seem to work, but it seems to be slower compared to my local Windows laptop. I expect that the reason for this is that OpenMP is disabled on the Linux machine.

I have tried enabling OpenMP, but with no luck so far. See this screenshot:

Does this mean that I cannot enable OpenMP (possibly due to rights), or am I doing something wrong?

Nevermind, I found a solution. Using the "fds_openmp" file in the Bin folder, instead of the "fds" file does enable OpenMP. Not sure if this works as intended, but for me this is a workable solution.
