[Nek5000-users] Nek5000-users Digest, Vol 108, Issue 18

Hi Amitvikram,

for all practical purposes there shouldn't be any backward compatibility
issues between the
two versions of Nek5000.

It is recommended to use the latest, because there has been some
improvements which
has been found to reduce the solution time.

Also, there is no installation involved with Nek5000, if you have v16
working,
you can just download the v17 into your home folder and build/compile
exactly the same way you built the previous version.

I hope this helps.

cheers
