how to run the example in the tutorial

Hi,

could you be more specific? What errors occur? What Yade version do you use?

You can create an empty file, called, for example, example1.py and put
there the code. Then you can just:
./yade example1.py

And it should work.

Thank you very much Anton,

And where should i put the example1.py file? i mean its path. Thanks for your help.

No, you just copy the code into the file, called, for example,
test1.py. And then:

./yade test1.py

It is better to attach script here.
Comments are not mandatory for the code.

Yade 0.50 is relatively old and a lot of mistakes were fixed after
that release. We fix there some critical bugs, but it is preferable to
use later versions (better from bzr).

When I do this
the following has happened

No, you should type "./yade periodic.py" __to start__ it with pointed script

It would be better.

I am confused about it. I do type ./yade periodic.py in the terminal after typing 'yade' entering yade mode. what do you mean 'with pointed script'.

Hi,Luc

Thanks for your help, it works!

 still errors happen.

Thanks Luc Scholtès, that solved my question.

If yade is started and you want to execute a script, you can do that (no need to copy/paste or to restart yade each time you try a script):

....
Yade [24]: execfile('script.py')

Hi everyone,
I am trying to run the same example program and I am having the same issues. I am a beginner with using yade and I have tried all the already given assistance. My code looks like the following:

Yade [10]: execfile('vinciabouncingball_1.py')

Hello Vincia,

I think it is a "Linux" issue, not a Yade one. The error message says Yade does not find your .py file. Because it is surely not where Yade searches !
Your .py script has to be in the directory you were when you launched yade.

Thank you jduriez, I've been putting my file everywhere and I still am not able to run yade. I have been using the code execfile('name.py') is that the correct syntax for running a program in yade. i've tried execfile('name.py', globals()) as well.

I put my file in almost every folder and tried this and I continue to get an error:

Hi Vincia,

if you run it like this:

ervin@ubuntu:~$ ~/yade/bin/yade-trunk 1.py

the file 1.py must be located in your home directory (/home/ervin/). Check by
using the command ls in the command line.

ervin@ubuntu:~$ ls

You will get a list with all the files (and directories). Check if your file is
listet.

YES! That gets rid of the error but when I type execfile('1.py') or execfile('1.py',globals()) into yade the script doesn't run. However, there are no more errors.

Indeed it is normal that your script did not produce spectacular effects : it "only" defined the numerical model.

If you want start to enjoy yade, you have now to let it run ! (O.run(1) for ex, or with "play" controller)

You will have also surely to execute something in order to let appear the graphical windows showing the model : qt.View() for example

I'm sorry that I keep posting!! I'm just sooooo close! I got another error and even if i just put view() it still has a name error. What should I do? Everyone's help is really appreciated!

No. If you don't open the 3D view (see shortcuts provided when yade
starts), you don't see anything.

Hi Vincia,
I think that your problem is the version of qt you have installed on your pc. By default yade is compiled as you have qt3 installed, while i guess you have actually qt4 on your pc.
To solve that you have to modify your scons-profile.. file on your yade/ folder and specify as a feature qt4. Just add this line:

features='qt4'

And then recompile and you will have your 3D view.

You can have a look to all the compilation options by typing scons -h on the terminal.

Hth Ema

I tried the shortcuts yade provides by clicking F8 and the following error shows up, I'm still looking into the qt4 feature because I have two scons-profile files:,one named scons.profile-default and the other scons.current-profile

Vincia,
scons.current-profile contains the name of the scons' profile you want to use.
if empty (your case?) the instructions contained in scons.profile-default will be used for the compilation.
so, you can leave it empty for the moment.

The line

features='qt4'

must be added in the scons.profile-default file. Try it and recompile.

Bye, Ema

Emanuele is right. i just see now that you don't have any graphical
interface:

With the graphical interface enabled, the shortcuts list would read:

[[ ^L clears screen, ^U kills line. F12 controller, F11 3d view, F10
both, F9 generator, F8 plot. ]]

p.s. hiting F11 is the same as typing qt.View()

You just needed to change the following line:

on
features = 'gts,log4cxx,opengl,openmp,vtk,qt4'

I am not sure, that adding feature at the end of scons.profile will
have an effect.
Did you recompile yade after adding that feature?

Try this command:

yade.qt.View()

Anton

Do you guys know how to recompile yade ?! Is there some link, i'm sorry. I am very new to this. I've been searching and there is only information on the compilation of yade.

Compilation (of any code) is something you can do as often as you want, with exactly the same procedure !

 With the only exception that the required packages are no more to be installed once they were installed. Good luck !

- Go into your yade/ folder. There you'll find the sources you need to compile. All the instructions for the compilation are contained into your scons-profile-.. file, as you already know since you modified it to add the qt4 feature.
- Now open a terminal and be sure you're into the yade folder path. If not, type 'cd ~/yade/'
- Now type scons and the compilation should start.

If you have problems with one of these instructions, post here the error you get.

[[ ^L clears screen, ^U kills line. F8 plot. ]]
Yade [1]:

Open the terminal and type only 'scons'

ervin@ubuntu:~$ scons

ervin@ubuntu:~$ scons

scons: *** No SConstruct file found.
File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/Main.py", line 834, in _main

ok..

ervin@ubuntu:~$ cd ~/yade/ (attention there is a blank space between cd
and ~)

then,

ervin@ubuntu:~/yade$ scons

1/ If you install a pre-built package like yade-daily, you don't have to recompile. Forget about scons and profile and stick with yade-daily.

2/ It seems your problem is not related to yade. Your graphic card is probably not installed properly. Try typing "glxgears" in a terminal (if it tells you this program is part of package X, then install package X). If you don't see rotating gears , then this is your problem.

Ok..

Which graphic card do you have on your computer?
Have you got any installed driver?

Go to 'System' -> 'hardware drivers' menu. You should be able to see easily if some driver is already installed for your graphic card. If not, install it!

chareyre when i type glxgears i got:
ervin@ubuntu:~/yade$ glxgears
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

emanuele, i went to "system" and u could not find the hardware drivers menu so i went to disk utility and I don't think i have a driver for my graphic card but i don't know what driver to install for that

vincia,

what gives: 'lspci | grep -i vga' ?

ervin@ubuntu:~/yade$ lspci | grep -i vga

ervin@ubuntu:~/yade$

I can't open yade anymore, and I installed yade-daily previously when the link was sent earlier in the thread

if i open yade-daily it reads:

You do really have some problems with graphic drivers.
Do other 3D applications are working for you well (paraview, gmsh,
freecad etc.)?

It is a graphic issue I have Intel G45/G43 Express Chipset but it is up to date. I am not even able to play any youtube videos or video games. No graphics are working. Yade does not run anymore it displays: Am i better off reinstalling linux and yade? Because I am getting errors with installing any type of graphics driver such as mesa or openGL, they aren't installing

ervin@ubuntu:~$ ~/yade/bin/yade-trunk

Vincia,

You have an onboard graphic accelerator. You need to install a driver
to use it. Without this driver you will be unable to use any kind of
graphical things!

I found out, that there is no "official" driver support for your
mainboard for linux, but you can use the poulsbo driver:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo

I hope I could help. You do not have to reinstall anything. If the
driver works, then you can use opengl for your machine.

Christian,

P.S: For watching youtube video you also need flash for your browser.

I need to download Nvidia. I am able to do so on my laptop but I don't know what's stopping me from doing so on this particular computer that I am running yade off of. I go to system, administration, then additional drivers but there are no listed drivers that I can click on to install. I tried downloading Nvidia from the site but an error runs when downloading. What's wrong?

Sorry to be boring but... it would be nice to close the question when
it's answered, instead of appending more and more questions under the
title "how to run example in the tutorial". It will help users to find
proper answers to proper questions in the future.

For installing nvidia, I'm not one of the graphic-card gurus, but a few
of them may be around if you are lucky... Still, you would help the
gurus by giving your operating system, graphic card type, and error
output (maybe it's somewhere in the 50 posts above?).
Did you try searching your problem in google? This is actually the first
place to check for hardware problems, while yade-users is more dedicated
to questions related to yade.

It seems to me that Christian #49 was kind enough to explain your
problem. #49 is answering #50, seems to me.
Why would you download nvidia if you don't have a nvidia card?

Hello,

If you are sure that your problem is related to the graphic card driver and you have a latest version of ubuntu installed, re-install ubuntu in a safe mode (so that the graphic card will be installed automatically after ubuntu installation and so it optimizes its installation in the best way).
Nvidia graphical cards displays nvidia logo while starting the machine if it is detected. This is not guaranteed if you proceed as above and Nvidia card may not be installed properly, however you won't have problem with yade graphics normally.

You can try to install your graphic card manually before reinstalling the system using the 'envyng-qt' graphic tool for ATI/NVIDIA drivers, but be carefull because if you don't install the right thing you may loose the graphical interface and you will need to log on to a less upgraded version of your system from the boot loader.

vincia,

install drivers for using hardware in linux is NOT a yade question!
please close the question and try to get help from another mailinglist or just g**gle your driver problem.

christian.

p.s. you have an INTEL chipset, so dont waste time trying to install NVIDIA-related stuff ;)
