This release requires the Intel Fortran Compiler Classic, Version 2021.1 (part of Intel oneAPI) or later to use Zencrack user subroutines.
Note:
- If your PDF reader application does not support the use of cross-document links you may prefer to install and use an alternative such as Adobe Acrobat Reader or the lightweight open source Sumatra.
- No support for Zencrack 9.5-1 will be provided on Windows 7 or Windows 8.
Linux
Zencrack 9.5-1 is available for x86-64 machines running 64bit Linux.
The Linux version has been tested on Linux variants:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.9, 8.6
- CentOS Linux release 8.5.2111
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP3, 15 SP4
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP3
Other OS versions are expected to be compatible, but have not been tested.
On Linux the Zencrack GUI requires that a valid DISPLAY environment variable is configured in order to create GUI windows. This applies whether the GUI is used interactively or in command line mode for remeshing during a full Zencrack run (in which case windows are required as part of the remeshing process regardless of whether or not they are displayed).
License server
The license server installation is available for 64bit Windows or 64bit Linux machines.
For license server installations the client machines do not have to match the license server machine type.
