Hi all,

I've installed FEKO 2017.1 in our Linux machine, But i'm not finding the way to run it. Can anyone help me by giving me the direction to run the CADFEKO in Linux?

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).
