insightcae Windows Installation Error #33

Closed VijayN10 closed 1 year ago

VijayN10 commented 1 year ago

Dear Team,

Thank you for developing opensource GUI based software.

I have installed insightcae as per the instructions given on the website. The X-server is also running. But after installation, when I open workbench from my windows menu, it is opening ubuntu 18.04 and closing immediately. I am not sure where did I go wrong. Could you please guide me on this?

Thank you.

Dear Vijay,

thanks for your feedback!

The installation instructions on the website are outdated. We have given up the path to run the GUI tools from within WSL due to several shortcomings especially concerning hardware accelerated graphics and the VTK toolkit.

The current path is to cross-compile all the GUI tools natively for Windows and execute the backend tools (OpenFOAM, Code_Aster and so on) in a WSL environment in a client-server manner.

The installation for this is described here in the section "Obtaining InsightCAE": https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hkroeger/insightcae-documentation/master/insightcae-manual.pdf

Regards, Hannes
