In order to build a customized
import utility routine, it must be linked with several libraries.
These libraries are located in <CFXROOT>/lib/<os>/:
libmeshimport.lib (on Windows), or libmeshimport.a (on Linux)
libratlas_api.lib (on Windows), or libratlas_api.a (on Linux)
libratlas.lib (on Windows), or libratlas.a (on Linux)
libpgtapi.lib (on Windows), or libpgtapi.a (on Linux)
libunits.lib (on Windows), or libunits.a (on Linux)
libcclapilt.lib (on Windows), or libcclapilt.a (on Linux)
libio.lib (on Windows), or libio.a (on Linux)
The following topics are discussed:
You can build the executables on Windows systems. An example command line follows:
cl /MD /I "C:\Program Files\Ansys
Inc\v242\CFX\include" ImportTemplate.c /link /libpath:"C:\Program
Files\Ansys Inc\v242\CFX\lib\winnt-amd64"
libcclapilt.lib libio.lib libmeshimport.lib libunits.lib libpgtapi.lib
libratlas_api.lib libratlas.lib
You can write the import program in Fortran and then compile and link it. An example command line follows:
ifort /MD /I "C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\v242\CFX\include" /threads /iface:mixed_str_len_arg ImportTemplate.F
/exe:ImportTemplate.exe /libs:dll /link /libpath:"C:\Program
Files\Ansys Inc\v242\CFX\lib\winnt-amd64"
libcclapilt.lib libio.lib libmeshimport.lib libunits.lib libpgtapi.lib
libratlas_api.lib libratlas.lib
The supported compilers are listed in Compiler Requirements for All Windows Versions in the Ansys, Inc. Installation Guides.
The following topics are discussed:
On most Linux systems you should be able to build the executable with the command:
gcc myimport.c -I<CFXROOT>/include/ -o myimport.exe -L<CFXROOT>/lib/<OSDIR>\ -lmeshimport -lratlas_api -lratlas -lpgtapi -lunits -lcclapilt -lio \ -lm -lc -fopenmp
where <CFXROOT><OSDIR>
Here, -lmeshimport, -lratlas_api, -lratlas, -lpgtapi, -lunits, -lcclapilt, and -lio indicate the libraries mentioned above, while -lm, -lc and -fopenmp are system libraries.
In this example, your own import program is named myimport.c and the executable file will be called myimport.exe. You should ensure that the libraries to which
you are linking (which are in the path given after -L) appear on the command line after the source file (or object file
if you are just linking to an existing object).
The compiler flags and required libraries may vary, depending on the compiler and the custom program.
The supported compilers are listed in Compiler Requirements for All Linux Versions in the Ansys, Inc. Installation Guides.
The following is an example of how to build the executable on Linux, when the source code for the executable is written in Fortran:
ifort myimport.F -L<CFXROOT>/lib/linux-amd64 -lmeshimport -lratlas_api -lratlas \
-lpgtapi -lunits -lcclapilt -lio -lm -qopenmp -o myimport.exe
