Hi,

I am running the following tutorial for HyperMesh CFD for LINUX:

Site faviconACU-T: 1000 Basic Flow Set Up

For which I installed HyperMesh CFD and AcuSolve. The installation went well on ubunutu 24.04, No problems reported.

But lunching AcuSolve I got the following message:

You need Perl on your system before you can launch AcuSolve.You may obtain Perl from http://www.activestate.com/Products/activeperl/

Which is installed at /usr/bin/perl :

perl -v : This is perl 5, version 34, subversion 0 (v5.34.0) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

How can I link it to the ALTAIR software? I can not find any other procedure to be done on LINUX to do so.

Many Thanks,

MC

    NO guarantee if this will work, but if you really want to try with Ubuntu, then try editing

    …../altair/hwcfdsolvers/acusolve/linux64/script/acusim.sh

    There is a section where "perldir" could be defined.

    perldir=/usr/bin
    PATH="$perldir:$PATH"

    Again, at your own risk.

    As shown here - Ubuntu is not a supported OS. You may not be able to get it to work.
