    Hello Khadimul,

     

    There are various ways to start CADFEKO. Assuming you know where FEKO was installed, you can run FEKO in one of the following ways:

    • Launch the application that you want to start using the full path to the application. As an example, if FEKO was installed in '/opt/feko/2017', run '/opt/feko/2017/altair/feko/bin/cadfeko'.
    • Launch it from the HyperWorks scripts folder. As an example, if FEKO was installed in '/opt/feko/2017', run '/opt/feko/2017/altair/scripts/cadfeko'.
    • Source initfeko and then simply call the applications directly. As and example, if FEKO was installed in '/opt/feko/2017', run '. /opt/feko/2017/altair/feko/bin/initfeko' and then simply run 'cadfeko'. In this example, note that sourcing initfeko starts with a dot, followed by a space and then the path to initfeko.

    In all examples above, don't include the quotes.

     

    If you still have issues, please provide me with your Linux distro details. I know Ubuntu uses dash instead of bash and that could cause issues (I usually go back to bash instead of dash).
