Hi everyone, 

I have tried coupling EDEM 2022.2 and Fluent 2023.13 on Windows, and it could be done without problem. 

I need to couple these two on Linux as well. I am using the files for coupling got from this link on the knowledge base

https://community.altair.com/community?sys_kb_id=d384c1c0db2ae910cfd5f6a4e29619a3&id=kb_article_view&sysparm_rank=3&sysparm_tsqueryId=238ab52997f3e950e3b0361e6253afb8

 

When I am checking for the files compiled, it seems they are all there and compilation has been successful. However, I am getting this error when I am clicking on "Connect to EDEM" in Fluent. I am using GUI version of both Fluent and EDEM on Red Hat Linux enterprise version 8.6 on a virtual machine. I have the same problem on our HPC. For HPC, I am using GUI of both Fluent and EDEM through an interactive virtual desktop.

Initialising EDEM-Fluent Coupling. Please wait...
/ansys_inc/v231/fluent/fluent23.1.0/lnamd64/3d_host/fluent.23.1.0: symbol lookup error: lib_edem_coupling/lnamd64/3d_host/libudf.so: undefined symbol: ADAPTOR_init_connectEDEMCoupling_Address
 The fluent process could not be started.

 

Why is this happening? Are the coupling files for Linux are suitable for EDEM 2022.2 and Fluent 2023.1? 

Thank you!

Mahdi.
