Svfsi installation

[seyed Jamal Eldin mahdavifar]

Hi Dave
I want to install the svfsi on Ubuntu 18.04 according to the instructions.
I did all the steps. Finally when I run the make command it gives me the following error.
{
"CMake Error at SimVascularMacros:190 (add_subdirectory):
add_subdirectory given source
"ThirdParty/metis_svfsi/simvascular_metis_svfsi" which is not an existing
directory.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
ThirdParty/metis_svfsi/simvascular_metis_svfsi/CMakeLists.txt:1 (simvascular_third_party)
}
I don't know where this source is?
I would be grateful if you could help me
Best

Hi Jamal,

We have replaced the svFSI Fortran code with the svFSIplus C++ code (see https://github.com/SimVascular/svFSIplus).

You should be able to download the code and build on Ubuntu 18 no problem.

Cheers,
Dave

Dear Dave
Thanks for your response. When I want to install the svFSIplus,
BLAS is needed. According to the instructions, when I visit the BLAS website
(https://www.netlib.org/blas/)
which icon should I use to download BLAS?
My thanks and appreciation
Jamal

Hi Jamal,

You can install all of the required packages using the Ubuntu apt package manager

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libblas-dev liblapack-dev

I will update the README to better describe how to build on each platform.

Cheers,
Dave

Dear Dave
Thank you for your reply. With your advice, BLAS problem was solved during installation,
but there is the following error during installation.
{CMake Error at Source/svFSI/CMakeLists.txt:139 (find_package):
By not providing "FindVTK.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "VTK", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "VTK" with any of
the following names:
VTKConfig.cmake
vtk-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "VTK" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "VTK_DIR"
to a directory containing one of the above files. If "VTK" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.}
I could use your help with this error.
Fond regards
Jamal

Hi Jamal,

It seems that you don't have VTK installed.

You will need to install all of the software packages listed under the Software Dependencies section in https://github.com/SimVascular/svFSIplus.

Cheers,
Dave

Dear Dave
Thanks for your interest. When I open (https://github.com/SimVascular/svFSIplus) and refer to Building Visualization Toolkit(VTK) Libraries, first command is (mkdir /user/shared/vtk). When I run first command, I get the following error
( no such file or directory ).
Could you tell me location of the user.

Jamal

Hi Jamal,

The mkdir /user/shared/vtk command was used to to show an example of how to build VTK. You should probably build VTK in your $HOME directory unless other users will use it.

Cheers,
Dave
