Problem in importing MED files in salome ! bug??

Don't respond to my previous question. I have already resolved the problem.
It was sufficient to start a new salome session, that's all. May be due to my configuration ?? I'm running salome under Linux Ubuntu (Debian based distribution) that I compiled myself.

cheers

Hi,

I've developed a MED interface for a FEM solver to be able to use the post-processing capabilities of SALOME.

I've used the following sequence of Fortran calls from the solver:

efouvr(...)   ! create  MED file
efmaac(...)  ! create an unstructured mesh
efcooe(...)  ! write node coordinates
efcone(...)  ! write nodal FEM connectivity of elements (MED_HEXA8 type)

and then linked with libmed.so installed in /med-2.2.2/lib
The program successfuly generate the MED file, and mdump shows also that different file sections are there.

HOWEVER, when I import that file in the Mesh module through (File -> Import -> MED File) command, I could only visualize the nodes ... there is no FEM connectivity or elements. The 'Mesh info' dialog also shows the correct number of nodes but 0 Hexahedrons.

Any ideas why? Did I miss something in the generation process? help wanted because I'm stuck !!!
Otherwwise, I realize that salome considers an unstructured mesh having only nodal info as valid. This is the weird thing that can happen to a FEM analyst for production purposes.

Hi Adil,
 
  I am trying to do the same thing as you did, to use the SALOME post-processing capabilities for a FEM solver, but I can't successfully compile a script with the following sequence of FORTRAN calls:

    efouvr (... )
    effide (... )
    efferm (... )
    efouvr (... )
    efferm (... )

  I am trying to compile it with this version of gfortran: gcc version 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8) (GCC) on a FEDORA 9 platform (kernel 2.6.27.5-41.fc9.x86_64); I already have SALOME-MECA version 3.2.6 installed and working properly, so I suppose that the libraries hdf5-1.6.4 and med-2.3.1 that this version of SALOME is using are well installed. However, when I try to compile the script with this line:

    gfortran test1.f95 -DPCLINUX64 -I/opt/SALOME-MECA-2007.1-GPL/SALOME/SALOME3/prerequis/hdf5-1.6.4/include -I/opt/SALOME-MECA-2007.1-GPL/SALOME/SALOME3/prerequis/med-2.3.1/include -L/opt/SALOME-MECA-2007.1-GPL/SALOME/SALOME3/prerequis/hdf5-1.6.4/lib -lhdf5 -L/opt/SALOME-MECA-2007.1-GPL/SALOME/SALOME3/prerequis/med-2.3.1/lib -lmed -lm -lz -o test1

  it shows these errors:

    /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /opt/SALOME-MECA-2007.1-GPL/SALOME/SALOME3/prerequis/hdf5-1.6.4/lib/libhdf5.so when searching for -lhdf5

    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

  Could you help me on this? thanks in advance.
