[Nek5000-users] Prenek and Genbox - Maketools problems

Dear JP,

In prex, the cursor focus and typed responses should be inside
the X-window, not in the text window.

I usually keep the text window visible however because often the 
prompts are clipped in the X-window.  So you read the questions from
the text window, but type the response in the X-window.

What type of geometry are you trying to build with prex ?  We might
be able to assist in getting you started.

Best regards,

Paul

Hi Katie, 


Thanks, genbox is creating the .re2 file without any errors now and you are right regrading the IO error.. it appears since I close prex by just closing the window. Regarding what's happening with PRENEK: in general, for 'PREX', it prints the following error every time when opening: 


'I/O Error: No String Terminator sent to PRS' 


Then when I input a name for the session (after the prompt "Choose a Name for This Session:" ) the program does nothing. It doesn't take the session name and I can keep on typing text and pressing enter with no response. 


On the other hand, for 'PRETEX', it doesn't show the 'I/O Error: No String Terminator sent to PRS' at the beginning but gives: 'cp: cannot stat `/home/jpm/.nekdefaults': No such file or directory' 


It lets me input a session name and this time it accepts it and i manage to go through the menu options but when trying to 'read previous parameters' it gives 'Error reading parameters from file.' When I try the 'Type in new parameters' it lets me carry on but when I try to 'Build interactively' the following message appears: 'Error: Grid must be between 0 and 1 (fraction of Screen height). Screen gridding couldnt be changed 
drwobjs: 0' 


I then go through some stages, and manage to, for example, use the 'Import Mesh' but the mesh is not imported correctly and grey boxes appear (which I imagine should be clickable options) but there is nothing inside them. Other options seem to work partially but never successfully, it is as though there is something wrong with the output to the Nekton window. 



Sorry if the above is confusing but I tried to summarise what is happening. 


Thank you, 
JP
