CalculiX is a powerful open source finite element package. Prebuild binaries are available for some distributions (e.g.
Ubuntu), but many people try to build it from source. This often implies building
ARPACK and
SPOOLES to do the actual number crunching. The whole process is not always to trivial, though some help is available for
windows and
linux. I have automated the entire process using a make file and some supporting files (patches and a makefile for calculix itself). These files can be found on my github repository
here.
Installing should not be fairly trivial:
- Download the files from github and put them in ~/build_calculix
- Fire up a terminal
- cd ~/build_calculix
- sh install
The script should now start downloading the required software, patches and documentation, build everything that has to be build and install the software locally in ~/calculix.
