Recently, a problem was discovered that Abaqus and CFX cannot perform calculations on Windows shared folders mounted on Linux. Linux is deployed on a virtual machine. Although there will be no error when starting the calculation program on the local path of the virtual machine, it will cause the virtual disk to occupy more space and have a certain impact on the read and write efficiency.

1. SMB version problem

1.1 SMBv3

When using cifs to mount a shared folder before, I did not pay close attention to the version of the SMB protocol¹. The following command line does not specify the protocol version:

SU2 is an open source CFD solver developed by the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University. It is based on C++ and Python and is similar to OpenFOAM, but does not support polyhedral meshes. Compared with OpenFOAM, SU2 has more advantages in solving high-speed compressible flows.

Download SU2 source code:

mkdir $HOME/su2code && cd $HOME/su2code
# Only clone the latest commit version to speed up downloading
git clone https://github.com/su2code/SU2.git --depth=1

Define environment variables and create a new configuration file su2.env:

1. Preparation

161GB of disk space is required for the full installation. Please ensure that the remaining available disk space meets the requirements. You can choose the installation content according to your needs.

At least 8GB of memory is required during the installation process, and 16~32GB of memory is recommended.
