V2004 & V2004r2 Patch for MSC.Fatigue for resolving missing libraries on SUN Machines Introduction: This document contains: 1) a description of the contents of the patch, 2) the issues fixed with the patch, 3) instructions on installing the patch on SUN machines. The same patch can be used for installations based on Patran or Standalone Fatigue. Description: These files are being posted on the web for SUNOS Patran and Standalone installs of MSC.Fatigue V2004 and V2004r2 to resolve the following issue: 1. On some Sun machines without installed compilers, MSC.Fatigue may fail with the message, "library not found." Install this patch only if this error is noted. This patch contains the following: Libraries -- none Executables -- none Shared libraries -- libF77.so.3 libcx.so.1 libfsu.so.1 libm.so.1 libsunmath.so.1 Files -- none Instructions for Loading the Update: The ISO image contains the necessary files for patching both MSC.Fatigue V2004 and V2004r2 installations on SUN. Follow the directions given below: Unix/SUNOS Systems: Installation of the patch for SUNOS systems requires the following steps: 1) download the ISO image 2) create a CD from the ISO image, 3) mount the CD, 4) run "mscsetup" in the temporary directory. These steps are detailed below. * Download the ISO image by clicking on the link below * Create a CD from the downloaded ISO image * Mount the CD * Change directories to the CDROM directory (e.g., cd /cdrom). * Run mscsetup. (./mscsetup) * As the installation script runs, enter the following: Note that the installation process may be halted at any time by entering "X" at any of the prompts. Accept default values by pressing the enter-key. "y" or enter-key to accept default (to continue with the setup procedure) "1" or enter-key (to install from the CD-ROM). This is ok even though there is no CD-ROM. enter-key (to use /CDROM location for CD-ROM mount point) "y" or enter-key (to confirm CD-ROM mount point) pathname where: pathname=the location where MSC.Patran 2004/2004r2 has been installed. Note that the directory will contain the sub-directories bin/, mscfatigue_files/, etc. (Note that if an installation of MSC.Patran is not found, the install script will issue a warning. If this occurs, you should quit the installation and determine the correct location of the MSC.Patran installation.) "y" or enter-key (to confirm use of "pathname") "1" or enter-key (to install perform the standard installation; i.e., MSC.Fatigue update) "n" (no contract amendment is needed) "y" (to begin the installation) * The installation process should now finish normally. Notes: * Note that the installation process may be halted at any time by entering "X" at any of the prompts. * The installation script will allow a user to enter an erroneous path for the MSC.Patran 2004/2004r2 installation directory, and if the path does not exist a new path may be created if so directed by the user. However, since an installation of MSC.Patran is not found in this directory, a warning will be issued and the user will be advised to halt the installation process. If this occurs, the mscsetup user should delete the erroneous path if created.
