Shape_Optimization not running
 

Dear,

I have recently installed SU2 v3.0 64bit (pre-compiled from SU2 download) on a Windows 7 x64 single_threded and installed python2.7.6 (winPython_amd64) also tried python3.3.

I have installed SU2 as c:\SU2 (no spaces as in program files installation).
When I tried to run the test case of turb_RAE2822 at command prompt:

Follwing error displayed:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "shape_optimization.py", line 26, in <module>
import_su2
File "_init_.py", line 13, in <module>
if 'libedit' in readline._doc_

Type Error: argument of type 'nonetype' is not iterable

How can it be solved?
What is the appropriate version of python?
One more thing that I have found that SU2 is slower than Fluent, i tried naca0012 test case, how can it be sppedy?

python 2.7 is sufficient for SU2. shape_optimization requires you to set your PYTHONPATH environment variable to include "c:\su2"

try that, if you still get an error could you send the output from this command?

python "c:\su2\shape_optimization.py" -f turb_rae2822.cfg > log.out

hello rktchip

I also have problem in runing shape_optimization(tutorial 7 in su2 website). I install the SU2-3.0.000-32-bit-Single-threaded.exe, python 2.6.6,scipy 0.11.0 and numpy 1.6.2 with windows 7 os.

When I tried to run the test case of rotating airfoil at command prompt:

python "D:\Program Files\SU2\shape_optimization.py" -f rot_NACA0012.cfg

Follwing error displayed:

I have set PYTHONPATH enviroment variable including "D:\Program Files\SU2"; can you give me some help?

Best wish

I run the tutorial 7 of su2, optimization of the naca airfoil , same error
 

the error is something like this
OS is windows 64 bit
tutorial:
http://adl-public.stanford.edu/docs/...tating+Airfoil

error:
C:\work\su2\naca0012>shape_optimization.py f rot_NACA0012.cfg
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\SU2\shape_optimization.py", line 26, in <module>
import SU2
File "D:\SU2\SU2\__init__.py", line 13, in <module>
if 'libedit' in readline.__doc__:
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable

I think this something related the readline in the python script

If I commment these if 'libedit'.....
then some python script report 'NoneType' error too
