calculix 2.9 - New port

[ian.rees@…]

This port is meant to add CalculiX 3D FEM program ccx. We use this as the main FEM engine behind FreeCAD.

Cc Me!

Ian, I was working on a calculix port with subports ccx and cgx but you beat me to it. Pycalculix requires both. Would you consider adding cgx as a subport for those that need it?

Thanks

Sure, I'd be glad to help out athough my knowledge of calculix/Portfiles is pretty thin. Do you think it would it be better to rename this one to something like calculix-ccx and add another for calculix-cgx, or extend this port to add cgx?

Also - sorry about dropping the ball on that FreeCAD port ages ago, but we should have a new release out within the next couple weeks with luck! -Ian-

I uploaded Portfile-mdb for you to look at. Its not complete but has ccx and cgx set up as subports.

Cool, I probably won't get to it today, but would be glad to merge our Portfiles together.

I'm assuming you're ahead with regard to cgx, so would you be able to finish up that part of the combined Portfile? -Ian-

[mbrethen]

I'll continue to work on cgx and post my finished port file for you to merge.

Calculix is now at rev. 2.10. The patches to ccx will have to be updated.

[mbrethen]

I've got the patches for v2.10 working. Now cgx uses a modified netgen to allow for tet meshing with a target element size. Since a port already exists, I'm not sure how best to implement this.

Combined ccx and cgx version 2.10

[ian.rees@…]

I've updated the Portfile to use Mark's subport architecture, and upgraded to v 2.10. Should we change the topic of this ticket?

[mbrethen]

This port file is complete and tested on el capitan

[mbrethen]

I uploaded my finished port file and patches for cgx. For some reason I don't have the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist so openbrowser is complaining.

Update: There may have been changes in the OS LaunchServices. Ryan is looking into this and will update the openbrowser port.

Have tested Mark's combined Portfile on MacOS 10.10, seems ready to go once ticket #56087 is merged AFAICT. Thanks!
