API Compatibility Query: CUDA Error with Variable_Cohesion Plugin in EDEM 2022

Tian

I am encountering a compatibility issue when trying to load a custom API plugin in EDEM 2022.

When I attempt to run the simulation using the GPU (CUDA) solver, the following error message appears in the console:

"ERROR : CUDA Error : Version of the Variable_Cohesion_v02（my .dll document） plugin is no longer supported with the selected engine."

It seems there is a mismatch between the plugin version and the current solver engine requirements. I would appreciate guidance on the following:

1. API Version Support: Which version of the EDEM API is required to ensure compatibility with the EDEM 2022 ?
2. Documentation: Is there an official API-to-Software compatibility matrix available for reference?

Hi,

The best way to check compatibility is to look at the installed files.

For example if you go to C:\Program Files\Altair\2022\EDEM\src\Api\ContactModels you should see a list of iPluginContactModelVXXX files. If the latest file is IPluginContactModelV3_3_0.h then the supported contact model is version 3.3.

You can see the details API help notes in C:\Program Files\Altair\2022\EDEM\src\Api\Help > index.html

Regards

Stephen
