Hello,

I am using Mac OS X.
I am trying to do the simulation tutorial for the cylinder example. When I press Run Simulation I get this error:

" The mpiexec executable cannot be found.

Please install MPI and set its location in the Preferences->SimVascular Simulation page. "

I have downloaded svSolver. I have looked at how to Install MPI in the Appendix but I am still unsure about how to install it. Do I need to install this for it to work or is there something else I need to do.

Thanks,
Paulina

Hi Paulina,

On MacOS you install MPI using

Code: Select all

brew install mpich2

Cheers,
Dave
