Windows - portable

numgeo for Windows is compiled using Intel OneAPI and Visual Studio and relies on libraries such as MKL or OpenMP. However, if you do not want to install Intel OneAPI and Visual Studio you can download a numgeo version from www.numgeo.de which includes the required functions from OneAPI as dlls (dynamic linked libraries). To use numgeo as a portable application, you need to have the DLL files shipped together with the numgeo executable either in the calculation folder or in your system path. Adding a file to your system path is described here. There you also find an instruction how to add numgeo to your system path.

User subroutines

By default, the tutorials with user-defined subroutines are shipped together with shell scripts using Intel OneAPI to compile the user routines. If you have not installed it, you will receive an error. If you have another compiler you can replace it in the shell script.

Adding numgeo to your system path (optional)

You can add numgeo to your system path. This allows you to run numgeo without placing the executable in the simulation directory every time. To add numgeo to the system path perform the following steps:

  1. Create a folder numgeo
  2. Inside this folder create a folder bin
  3. Place the numgeo executable and the dlls in numgeo\bin
  4. Move the parent folder numgeo to the root of the C drive or the folder of your choice
  5. Type system variables into the search bar and click the Edit the system environment variables option
  6. Under the User variables section, select Path and click the Edit button
  7. Choose New from the side menu
  8. Add C:\numgeo\bin to the empty field and confirm changes with OK
