Pardiso Dynamic

Andrea

For curiosity I try to solve linear static analysis with Pardiso_Dynamic included on "calculix_2.15_4win" folder
It runs and is very fast...see video for comparison with spooles.
Unfortunately doesn't run under Mecway

i'm confused. it runs for me, using mecway. i didn't watch your video though. so not sure what you are doing exactly. it is very fast and allows for larger models to be run on the same hardware. have you looked at this thread; http://mecway.com/forum/discussion/750/propeller-hub/p1

it needs a better heading now but it talks about how to install the pardiso ccx solver for use in mecway. also somewhere victor mentions that the internal mecway solver also utilizes pardiso. but you would have to talk to him about that.

PARDISO is nicely hidden in plain site on the Calculix website. On www.dhondt.de, look for Windows executable..... files

Download the Intel MKL from here https://software.intel.com/en-us/mkl/choose-download/windows

Run with ccx_pardiso solver, it will complain about not having some DLLs. I didn't know how to link them so I simply copied them into the same directory as the ccx_pardiso_dynamic.exe, and things work fine.

When you search your C: drive for the DLLs, you might find you have multiple copies from different applications (for example, if you run ANSYS). I had to swap one or two to get it right, but no big deal.

very happy to be able to have this fast solver. It makes things alot better!
