intro story D-Flow FM

 

D-Flow Flexible Mesh

D-Flow Flexible Mesh (D-Flow FM) is the new software engine for hydrodynamical simulations on unstructured grids in 1D-2D-3D. Together with the familiar curvilinear meshes from Delft3D 4, the unstructured grid can consist of triangles, pentagons (etc.) and 1D channel networks, all in one single mesh. It combines proven technology from the hydrodynamic engines of Delft3D 4 and SOBEK 2 and adds flexible administration, resulting in:

  • Easier 1D-2D-3D model coupling, intuitive setup of boundary conditions and meteorological forcings (amongst others).
  • More flexible 2D gridding in delta regions, river junctions, harbours, intertidal flats and more.
  • High performance by smart use of multicore architectures, and grid computing clusters.
An overview of the current developments can be found here.
 
The D-Flow FM - team would be delighted if you would participate in discussions on the generation of meshes, the specification of boundary conditions, the running of computations, and all kinds of other relevant topics. Feel free to share your smart questions and/or brilliant solutions!

Compilation with Ubuntu

Dear All,

I tried in several ways to compile delft3d code in windows but was unsucessful. I'm newbie to this kind of approach. I'm unable to work out with it.

Hence, I have installed Ubuntu 16 and downloaded the 6906 tag.

Followed all the instructions given in build_ubuntu.16.04LT.readme file (Thanks for this elaborative help)

But, I'm again not successful in getting bin directory...

My build is finally failed again.... emoticon


But this time dont want to give up.

I beg everyone to help me in this regard.. Pls show me a right way !!

best regards
Arun

Hi Arun,

Compiling on Windows is much easier than compiling on Linux.

In case you do want to continue on Linux: Please have a look at the following two files in https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/delft3d/tags/6906/src/ :
build_ubuntu.16.04LT.readme
build_ubuntu1604.sh

Regards,

Adri

Hi Adri,

Thanks for the reply. Infact, I tried with the same file as you suggested. I couldn't get executables.

Please find the attached logs.

Hi Arun,

As your make.log file states: mpif90 does not exist.

Are you using an mpich version compiled with exactly the same compiler as you use for compiling Delft3D? Most probably you have to download the mpich source code and compile it yourself. That should at least produce mpif90.

Please check the FAQ and the prerequisites.

Are you sure you don't want to compile on Windows?

Regards,

Adri

Hi Adri,

To be frank I have no licensed softwares with me to compile. Although Delft3D is opensource, the requirement of additional licensed softwares like Visual studio and Intel fortran makes the model indirectly a commercial software dependent. In our regular duties, we have no usage of such softwares, hence our institute never agrees to buy them..

As you compile all the codes at delft3d, why don't you give the compiled binaries along with the source code?? I can't understand ! Compiling the source code will never enhance our thinking to apply the model for any coastal applications. I believe it is purely a job of a programming specialist..emoticon

That's why I don't want to use windows for compiling Delft3D.

I am trying to compile the software in Ubuntu, but my inexperience in dealing with linux based softwares lagging me ..

Anyway, will try until I get through it.!

regards
Arun

Hi Arun,

Since your last post is almost a year old I would like to know if you have been able to compile Delf3D under Ubuntu. I am using Ubuntu 18.10 and try to install the software as well.

My last try ended up with a broken Linux system, since the installation was moving around some binary files used for Ubuntu.

Some time ago I installed TELEMAC without any problems on Ubuntu and it seems that the prerequisites are almost the same. Instead of using Intels compiler you can use open source versions ans gnu compiler - most of them come with Ubuntu or are easy to install via "apt-get install". 

I have some experience compiling software on Ubuntu, but it seems, that Delft3D needs quite a lot of libraries, which does not come standard with Ubuntu, but this should not be a problem. I am quite convinced that it is possible to get the system running on Ubuntu. 

Would you be willing to share your experience so far and work together with me finding a solution. Maybe we could also write a small manual for future usage?

Best regards,

Clemens
