Simulating Chapter 19 Air Conditioning Simulation
 

Dear All:
I was trying to simulate the case in chapter 19 air conditioning in tutorial.
But I can not pass through the step of "Compiling the fortran subroutine for the thermostat". when it comes here, there is a error appeared as "ERROR CCL parser failed with message Perl Syntax errors detected: cfx5mkext failed at (eval 196) line 1". if i type "cfx5mkext TStat_Control.F" in the command line in laucher-tool, the error is "the complier command 'ifort' could not be found, pls ensure that the complier is on your path and try again". actually i do not know what is 'ifort'. I tried to add the whole file cfx/<bin> into my environment variable. but it is the same.
My computer system is Windows 7, and i installed compaq visual fortran 6.
I really do not know what is the reason of the problem. It drove me insane!
is there anyone who can give me an answer?
thanks very much in advance!!!

Guess on windows only intel is supported. Some month ago it was possible to get a 14-day test version from intel. If this is still possible, it may helps just for the tutorial.

Thank you Joey:
Sorry for my limited knowledge in Fortran, I don't know what is intel. Do you mean there are two kinds of fortran, one is intel fortran and the other is compaq fortran? and I installed compaq fortran. so this is the problem? If so I will buy a intel fortran. I really need to use fortran to interfere CFX.
Thank you very much!
with regards

Compaq and intel FORTRAN are different types of FORTRAN compiler available. FORTRAN is a language, but you need a compiler to compile your source code. CFX is compatible with iFORTRAN (thats by intel). If you using a LINUX M/c like Ubuntu or Red-hat, you may require a different compiler. There are tonnes of them available. Try the trial version of iFORTRAN available for 30 days.
Hope that helps.

Thank u friend:
In CFX solver modeling guide, page 398 the 2nd paragraph, it said "a supported linked is required". What is that, do I have to install that? And how can I get that?
Thanks again!
With regards

YES !!!!!! You do have to install an iFORTRAN in your system.

Dear Friend:
i am sorry to bother you again!
can u provide me a link of iFORTRAN? I can not find that in google.
regards
Ji

Dear friend:
I downloaded that, and installed on my computer. but it is still not able to compile the Fortran file. is it just installing CFX and Fortran? do i need to set some other things afterwards? can you help me solve this problem?
kind regards

I am sorry . I wish I could help you with it. My college computer already had everything installed so I never had to face these kinda of problems. You need to ask someone else.

There are some hints on requirements and setup in the help. Check it.
