Salome Meca 2024.1 on WSL2 ready to use distribution

Ok it's possible that the run_aster wrapper script which I added in WSL2 is messed up.

You can find its location using the command
which run_aster

And tweak it, it is probably just not passing the arguments (export file) as it should.

My windows machine sleeps in a drawer, I will have to take it out to fix these scripts.

Thanks again for the feedback!

if I need to add literally print("hello world") to the script, then I'll manage. Otherwise, I need help.

this is the content of the file:

#!/bin/bash
set_prefix() {
local this=$(readlink -n -f "$1")
prefix=$(dirname "${this}")
}
set_prefix "${0}"

run_aster_location=$(find /opt/salome_meca -type f -name run_aster -print | head -n 1 2>/dev/null)

Start a SALOME context

/opt/salome_meca/salome_meca shell $run_aster_location $@

when I look at it the same code looks for me like that:
の行政を担う欧州委員会は16日、パレスチナ自治区ガザに対して1億2千万ユーロ（約190億円）相当の人道支援を発表した。イスラエルとイスラム組織ハマスの停戦合意を受け、今後、ガザとエジプトの境界にあるラファ検問所への監視団の派遣再開も検討していくという。

Haha, add -- just after salome_meca shell :

/opt/salome_meca/salome_meca shell -- $run_aster_location $@

Maybe that will pass the argument (&@) more properly to run_aster

are you sure that sudo password for smeca-user is code_aster? I've tried it few times and I'm told it's incorrect

hberro

k_zurawski

Sorry, my bad, the password for smeca-user is codeaster (no underscore...)

new message after clicking on europlexus icon:

AsterO'dactyle

Hello,

I think it's because as Europlexus is not open source. It's not in the package. Don't try to use it

k_zurawski

AsterO'dactyle
Hello,
well, just wanted to check what's working right out of the box. Using Europlexus wasn't my intention. I'm 100 years behind you guys, but I'm doing my best to keep up in Code_Aster. I'm STILL HOPING I'll benefit from it.

k_zurawski

OK, so from all modules that are available in salome meca 2024 starting Europlexus, Fields, Persalys and Solverlab causes SM to crash. Eficas and Homard start, but there's almost nothing changing in the GUI.
AsterStudy, tested 3 times (linear, cantilever beam) gives random crash after activating IMPR_RESU in GUI.

That's all for now. I'll run few tests later on, but I need to recreate them from scratch. I'm using Salome 9.13 and I can't read the files without any hiccups. I wish it was helpful.

AsterO'dactyle

Hello,

Do you have any special characters or spaces in the name of the machine, directories or files?
They can sometimes cause crashes.

k_zurawski

AsterO'dactyle
Hello,
no, I have everything setup in English. No special characters, no spaces.

Hello everyone,

Based on all the previous feedback, hereby a new link (2024.1 WSL verified)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/15ZJ78mSAdPwBJ4oYwW3--H-cU7bXM3DJ/view?usp=drive_link

Particularly

fixed the launch scripts for as_run, astk and run_aster and tested all 3 scripts.
fixed the paravis crash when switching from asterstudy.
fixed the graphics in the europlexus module and added the limited Education & Research version of the Europlexus solver provided by CEA (version 2025).
Pre-configured Salome Meca with Europlexus and did some tests.
Fixed the welcome message.

You can safely remove the previous testing distribution using the command

wsl --unregister smeca-2024

and then import the new one in C:\smeca (or any location)

Best regards
HB

have you been sleeping at all?

Thank you, I'll test all and give you feedback.

hberro Still no sucess:

hberro THANK YOU. I love the new run_aster tool, this is what I always wanted. In fact, my homemade tools are now obsolete.
When will this be on the official Code_Aster "Download" page (not updated since 2020)?
Keep up the good work!

I really think that there is an installation problem with WSL2 and not this distribution in particular. Are you using Windows 10 or Windows 11. This distribution was tested on WSL2 and will not work in WSL1 which does not handle graphics correctly.

In a power shell with Administrator rights, can you try

wsl --install

and

wsl --set-default-version 2

Some users have previously reported that completely removing WSL2 then reinstalling it fixes some issues.

I'm running the latest provided "VM" on Windows 11 with WSL2. If you are running WSL2 before you run smeca-2024 write in powershell:

wsl --shutdown
wsl --update
wsl -d smeca-2024

then show us if you still have the graphics problem.

hberro
could you tell me what's causing that information:

ParseXmlFiles Warning, two resources with the same name were found, taking the first declaration : localhost

rmoortgat

k_zurawski
I allready did all that, reinstall, update, check version to no avail.
Could the problem be that I have two GPU, Intel and NVIDIA?

hberro

k_zurawski

Unharmful message, probably the default server (local machine) was defined twice in salome_meca's configuration.

Thank you

Hello again,
please check if you can recreate the same issue.

Set-up a simple linear study.
In AsterStudy:
Set too little RAM to finish the study.
Run the study, cancel after a while.
Change RAM setting to correct value.
Run the study again.

In my case I got error (red dot) in AsterStudy, the information was that there's a folder missing. I deleted the job in AsterStudy and run a new one hoping that it will overwrite the folder. The missing folder was already there.
The study has been running for a while and won't finish. I've attached entries from terminal.
