Is FEM Running?

[easyw-fc]

tested Calculix cxx211-64bin.exe in FC 8434-64b and worked like a charm!
(and running much faster 62s vs 128s on my sample FC file)

Can you upload the binaries somewhere?

Thanks!

the broken link should be fine now
sorry

Hi,
I uploaded also the MultiThread release
CalculiX-bin-folder/win64
ccx2_11_MT-64.exe
there is also a batch file
ccx2_11_MT-64.bat
that can be invoked inside FC FEM and when launched SET environment variables to let ccx work in MT, and launch ccxMT for executing the FEM analysis
.... I considered all parameters to be passed to the batch file and then to CalculiX
Here a log of the ccx out showing the multicore calculation
