Step-by-step instructions to build KAPSEL †

If KAPSEL binaries do not run on your machine, or if you want to modify KAPSEL source codes for your own purpose, you can build KAPSEL binaries from the source package. Here we assume that OCTA(GOURMET)-2013 is used, but the latest version of them should work fine.

STEP 0: Linux or Windows? †

  • To build KAPSEL on Linux, goto STEP 1.
  • To build KAPSEL on Windows, install "Cygwin" first, then goto STEP 1. Be sure to include "gcc", "make" (both exist under "Devel" tree), and "unzip" (under "Archive" tree) packages.
  • KAPSEL can be build also on Mac OS-X. (not officially supported)

STEP 1: Download and install OCTA/GOURMET †

  • Visit OCTA-BBS and Login. Registration is required if you haven't yet complete it.
  • For Linux
    • Follow "DOWNLOAD" -> "OCTA2013" -> "OCTA2013 for linux iso image".
    • Download "OCTA2013LINUX.ISO" and install OCTA2013.
  • For Windows
    • Follow "DOWNLOAD" -> "OCTA2013" -> "OCTA2013 for Windows 32/64bit iso image".
    • Download "OCTA2013WIN.ISO" and install OCTA2013.

STEP 2: Build "libplatform" †

  • "libplatform" is an I/O library developed by OCTA project. One needs this library to access to UDF-formatted files.
  • For Linux:
   > su
   > cd /usr/local/OCTA2013/GOURMET_2013
   > cd src
   > ./configure
   > make
   > make install
  • For Windows:
    • Logon Windows with an administrator authorization
    • Open Cygwin window
   $ ln -s /cygdrive/c/OCTA2013/ /usr/local/.
   $ cd /usr/local/OCTA2013/GOURMET_2013
   $ cd src
   $ ./configure
   $ make
   $ make install
  • See manuals for more detailed information on libplatform

    • Japanese: &ref(): File not found: "libplatform_jpn.pdf" at page "Install";

STEP 3: Download "KAPSEL" source code †

  • You can download the same files directly from here.
  • Source code &ref(): File not found: "kapsel3.02.zip" at page "Install";

STEP 4: Build "KAPSEL" binary executable †

   > unzip kapsel3.0.zip
   > cd kapsel3.0
   > make 'ENV=CYGWIN'       (Cygwin on Windows)
   > make 'ENV=GCC'          (gcc on Linux)
   > make 'ENV=ICC'          (icc on Linux)
   > make 'ENV=ICC_MKL_OMP'  (icc + MKL + OpenMP on Linux)
   > make clean   (clean-up working files)

STEP 5: Test run †

   > cd UDF
   > ../kapsel -Iinput.udf -Ooutput.udf -Ddefine.udf -Rrestart.udf
  #using input.udf as input
  #using output.udf as output
  #using define.udf as definition
  #using restart.udf as restart
  #
  # Navier_Stokes eq. selected.
   ...
  • If you see a command-line output as shown above, KAPSEL has been successfully built and run.
