Dear Tobi,
thank you for the reply.
I actually solver the problem some time ago, when I realized that I didn't have to change the template Cmake file, but I could simply make the template adding two lines to change libraries from dynamic to static.
I could post the detailed procedure for Ubuntu (if someone is interested) in the Sig Numerical Optimization.
Feel free to provide test cases and/or suggestions for the group!

Thanks in advance,

Also try this :
http://www.dicat.unige.it/guerrero/dakotaof.html

there you find a presentation by Joel Guerrero and several tutorials:
- Parameter space exploration of the driven cavity tutorial using Dakota
- Bounded-unscontrained gradient optimization of the driven cavity tutorial
- GA optimization using the SOGA method of the driven cavity tutorial
- Parametric multi-dimensional study, bounded-constrained gradient optimization and surrogate based optimization of a NACA Series 4 airfoil
- Parametric multi-dimensional study, bounded-constrained gradient optimization of ahmed body
- Parametric multi-dimensional study, bounded-constrained gradient optimization of a blunt body

Thanks for your replays,

I realized the website three weeks ago (but anyways thank you) (:

Hi guys,

just one (i think stupid question) but I never find the download link for the JAGUAR Interface (GUI) for Dakota. Also searching the internet only give me outdated links ?!

[crixman]

I googled it and couldn't find any link, the dakota website is now updated, I suppose that since the release of v6.x and related changes, the GUI has to be updated, so they are either working on a new version or just removed it!

Greetings to all!

After some careful reverse searching, based on web.archive.org snapshots, I was able to find the following lists, by searching in the dakota.sandia.gov search engine by the specific file name "JAGUAR_2_1.linux.gtk.x86_64.zip":

• https://dakota.sandia.gov/release-versions/21 - which has the files for Jaguar 2.1, which is for Dakota 5.3.
• https://dakota.sandia.gov/release-versions/53 - If you want Dakota 5.3.

Which is very weird, because the manual I can find online for Jaguar 3.0 states that it's the only version that supports Dakota 5.3, and that Jaguar 2.1 was for Dakota 5.2...

As far as I'm able to investigate, it seems that:

• Jaguar for Dakota was not truly open source, at least for the general public.
• Jaguar might have been restricted to internal use in the USA or inside Sandia.
• Jaguar relies too much on Java and a ton of Eclipse libraries. Therefore, continuing development could be tricky.
• I cannot figure out if Jaguar was continued to be updated after version 3.0, nor am I able to find any downloadable.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hey There!
i am trying to run an optimization using soga. the simulator script should
run a compressible flow steady simulation sunig rhoSimpleFoam (OpenFoam
Solver). Problem is that the job break up each time this solver is called
(calling other solvers eg icofoam or what else there is not a problem).
I get the following error :
rhoSimpleFoam: symbol lookup error:
/usrfem/femsys_local/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libfvOptions.so:
undefined symbol: _ZN4Foam10meshToMesh25interpolationMethodNames_E

PS :/usrfem/femsys_local/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/ is the installation
directory of Openfoam.

May be someone can help?

Thanks in advamce

Regards.
Houssam.

Greetings Houssam,

In a standard shell, i.e. not from within Dakota, run this command:

ldd $(which rhoSimpleFoam)

For me, it gave me this:

If it gives you any error messages when running this command, then it should help us isolate the problem, by comparing this list with yours.

In addition, if no errors are shown, then run this same command from within Dakota's system (i.e. how you've run into this problem), and let us know what it gives you.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi

I know this question is for Dakota.

And while Dakota is good and fun I have from personal experience had better usage out of using http://www.pyopt.org/

Simply because it is easier to get up and running properly.

Now i tried with another version of dakota, where the libraries (of dakota!) are static. It works! i suppose the problem was the shared libraries (.so).
Thanks anyway.
