Elmer FEM not working in weekly AppImage

Post by StephanT »

Good morning,

I really like using FreeCAD, it is a great program. Recently, I got interested in using the Elmer FEM integration into FreeCAD. The current stable version I am using is 20.2 and there everything works great and stable. However, quite some features of Elmer are missing. So, I tried the weekly build Linux AppImage version 21.0 (from https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bund ... kly-builds). It starts and offers in principle the features I want, but I cannot finish successfully a single FEM run, it simply says that no output file was created without any other hint. I tried many things and I cannot get it working. All input files are written correctly and using the files to run Elmer from command line is successful and creates the correct output.
Now, I doubt that it might be the AppImage, so I tried to build FreeCAD from source, which I managed to do. However, no matter where I tried to get the source code from (github master or github weekly builds), it always compiles to version 20.2 but not to 21.0.

So, I have two question: Can anyone help me with this issue and where can I find the source code for the current weekly build?

Thanks in advance,
Stephan

Mhm, I know. But if I build it from there it gives me last stable version 20.2 but not developer version 21.0 which I would like... At least that is what it says in the title of the window.

Thanks for answering, however, I saw the wiki page, that is how I got the source to compile successfully. However, still my source is for ver. 20.2, where can I find source for ver 21.0? Has anyone a clue?

The github source referenced above is 100% the latest master version of 0.21.

Guaranteed.

The real question is why your procedure is pulling an incorrect version identifier.
