Installation - Part 2

Step 2: Compiling everything:

2.a) Petsc
type these in the terminal. It seems that the new gcc compiler has some issue with the gss code.

export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2
export CXX=/usr/bin/g++-4.2


gunzip petsc
tar -xvf petsc
cd petsc
export PETSC_DIR=`pwd`

./config/configure.py --with-cc=gcc --download-mpich=1 --with-clanguage=cxx --with-mpi=0 --download-c-blas-lapack=1 --with-precision=longdouble --with-shared=0


2.b) Cgnslib
bunzip2 cgnslib
tar -xvf cgnslib
cd cgsnslib
./configure
make
sudo make install

2.c) GSS
gunzip the file
tar -xvf the file
cd GSS_dev
export GSS_DIR=`pwd`
./configure
make
sudo make install

It takes a while but eventually you should have a working TCAD simulator.
Please let me know if you encounter any problem.

  1. Thanks for the information. The authors of GSS did not make it this clear.

  2. Dear Mr Bellini
    At the past two weeks im trying to install gss in Ubuntu 9.04 following your instructions or gss installation instructions, but no luck.
    Some of the packages seems to be very different and the hole process became complicated.
    I think that the problem is at cgnslib-2.5.1 which its no longer available. So i use cgnslib_2.5-4.

    Id like to ask you repeating the tutorial in future time with the newer editions of packages.

    If i make some progress i will post it.
    Thanks
    Chris

  3. I have been trying to install GSS since one week. I have been successful in compiling all the other required packages like cgnslib, petsc and when I tried to compile GSS, it's throwing me the following error after executing the make statement.
    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find-lmpiuni
    collect2:ld returned 1 exit status.
    make[3]:***[dumtif] Error1

    Please let me know the appropriate solution if you are familiar with this issue.

    I appreciate your help.

    Thanks,
    Deepak.

  4. Hello Dr. Bellini,

    I have similar problems. I hope that you will show installation process with Ubuntu 9.04 or 9.1..

  5. Dear Dr Bellini,


    I am new to TCAD and I have a problem running sdevice. I was looking through the net for help and support when I came across this blog.

    I am a trying to run a simulation of a simple crystalline solar cell.

    I have drawn the cell and meshing is successful.

    However, I am having two problems at the moment.

    1- none of my effort is showing on the workbench
    Click image for larger version.

    2- How do I start sentaurus device to run the simulations.

    The codes below are what I use to start the work bench and editor

    command on tiger:-

    /share/apps/synopsys/2014-15/R HELx86/SENTAURUS_2014.09-SP1/b in/swb

    export LM_LICENSE_FILE=27020@ 192.168.64.128

    for opening swb:-
    export LM_LICENSE_FILE=27020@ 192.168.64.128; /share/apps/synopsys/2014-15/R HELx86/SENTAURUS_2014.09-SP1/b in/swb

    for opening design:-
    export LM_LICENSE_FILE=27020@ 192.168.64.128; /share/apps/synopsys/2014-15/R HELx86/SENTAURUS_2014.09-SP1/b in/sde

    I tried attaching screen shots of my work but it didn't work here. You can see them at my post in another part of the forum at this link ( http://www.edaboard.com/showthread.php?t=367171 )

    If you need any more information or want to see my codes I can send them too.

    Please do help me, if you have any similar or sample code for 2D solar cell simulation please kindly help me with it.

    Thank you I look forward to your comments.
