Run time error

[ckolay]

Hi!
I was trying to build the OpenSees source code 2.0.0 in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (Version 8.00.50727) without adding/modifying anything in it. I could successfully release the OpenSees.exe with some warnings. But when I started testing the .exe with the Examples provided, I got run time error while running for Example2.simplenonlinear as follows:

Debug Error!
Program:...
Module:...\OpenSees\ExamplesFiles\example2.simplenonlinear\OpenSees.exe
File:e:\CKolay\OpenSees\Source Code\OpenSees\OTHER\SuperLU_3.0\src\dgstrf.c
Line:311
Run-Time-Check Failure#3-The variable 'iperm_r' is being used without being defined.
(Press retry to Debug the application)

I don't understand why the executable file showing error in the source code when it is already built. Although I checked the definition of the variable 'i_perm' and found it to be right.

I shall highly appreciate if anybody can through some light on this.

Thanks in advance...

it's a flaw in the microsoft code .. if you want to use the debug mode pick another solver . if you are just running a model use the release version & not the debug version, this does not ause an error and it will run faster.

Hi fmk,
Thank you very much for the reply. Actually I want to use GID as post processor. So I need to get the OpenSees output in a format/sequence, compatible to GID input which calls for a little editing/ modification in the source code followed by building the same in Microsoft Visual Studio. As a first step of that I was building the source code as it is i.e. without any modification. But while testing it for a few examples I ended up with errors as mentioned in my earlier post.
So could you please suggest something on this.
Thanks in advance...

as i said .. either build the release version of OpenSees and not the debug version or change the solver in the script.

Thanks fmk...it worked when I changed the solver in the script
