(Non-official) News about dev builds of enGrid
 

Greetings to all!

For those not familiar with enGrid's development, it's available in enGrid's project at Github, mainly in the following branches:

• "master" branch - https://github.com/enGits/engrid - this is where the latest developments of enGrid are available.
• "windows" branch - https://github.com/enGits/engrid/tree/windows - this is where contributions for building enGrid on Windows (and Linux) are done, in occasional sync with the master branch.
• "windows-engits" branch - https://github.com/enGits/engrid/tree/windows-engits - enGits' official efforts to build enGrid on Windows.

This thread is therefore an attempt to keep people informed of the latest builds and major code updates made on these development branches.

The latest news are:

• 32 and 64 bit builds for Windows of the latest development "windows" branch (in sync with the master branch), are available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wyld...rid_1.5.0-dev/
  • They are built with Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2008 Express and use the ParaView 3.12.0 VTK libraries (it's basically VTK 5.9). They also include the BRLCAD import feature that is available on the current development line.
• The same builds are also available for Ubuntu, through this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~wyldckat/+archive/engrid-ppa
  • The available deb packages are for Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10, 13.04 and 13.10.
  • These builds have the features for CGNS and Tau export, but not BRLCAD import.
• In these builds are already the implementation for handling cases for OpenFOAM 2.1, as reported here: https://github.com/enGits/engrid/issues/18 - but I haven't tested this myself.
• Building the CGNS export feature is now much easier, since the following issues have been fixed:
  • https://github.com/enGits/engrid/issues/40
  • https://github.com/enGits/engrid/issues/42
  It's just a matter of removing the hash-tag from the respective line in the file "src/engrid.pri": https://github.com/enGits/engrid/blo...src/engrid.pri

Best regards,
