INSTALLATION FILE:
A PHT3D installation file an be downloaded, which contains the PHT3Dv2.10 executable for Windows, the PHT3Dv2.10 manual and the 13 benchmark/application examples described in the manual. Note that changes have been made for some of the input instructions, compared to versions <2.10.
PARALLEL VERSION:
A parallel version of PHT3D is also available. It can be obtained from the Cloud-Share of University of Oldenburg:
This link contains the MPI parallel version of PHT3D, i.e., pht3dv217_mpi_fett.exe, for Microsoft Windows. Further, the source-code (for both the normal and MPI version) including compilation and installation instructions for LINUX is also provided.
For the parallel version under Microsoft Windows it is required to install another software package from Microsoft, i.e., MSMPI, so to say the communicator between the used MPI processes. It is included in the above Cloud link, but can be also downloaded from the official Microsoft download center:
You only need to download and install MSMpiSetup.exe. Next, put the previously downloaded pht3dv217_mpi_fett.exe in your model folder. Start a DOS/CMD window and navigate to that folder. Run PHT3D with: mpiexec -n N pht3dv217_mpi_fett.exe Pht3d.nam where N is the number of processors you want to use on your machine. During the installation of MSMPI or the first start of the mpiexec, Windows sometimes asks you to grant the program access to your private network. You need to allow that, because MPI is designed to make the communication via the network interface. Otherwise it will not work.
