GPU Initialization problems

[Chauddiere]

Randy,

After downloading the latest release FDS 6.5.3 and SMV 6.4.4, the GUP initialization started taking very long to go passed Initialization Step 3 and 4. Then, after invoking Smokeview, I get the message:

*** GUP smoke volume shader failed to load.
*** GUP 3d slice shader failed to load.
GUP shader initialization failed.

I am not sure what's causing this issue.

Thanks, Daniel

These messages are reported by smokeview. Are you not able to view your case?

*** GPU smoke volume shader failed to load.
*** GPU 3d slice shader failed to load.
GPU shader initialization failed.

Most likely the opengl installed on your computer is not sufficient to support GPU shaders. Type smokeview -ini and report back the bottom few lines of the file smokeview.ini that smokeview generates. These lines report the opengl environment that smokeview sees.

No, I am not able to view my case. I have been using this computer for almost 3 years and this is the first time I have this problem.

type smokeview -ini > test.out and upload the files issue test.out and the smokeview.ini that were generated . Those warning messages are not the reason why it failed On Tue, Jan 24, 2017 at 11:23 AM, Chauddiere <notifications@github.com> wrote:

closing issue. if you upload test.out and smokeview.ini I'll take a look

I have the same problem. Typing smokeview -ini > test.out produces the same result:

Initializing OpenGL
*** GPU smoke volume shader failed to load.
*** GPU 3d slice shader failed to load.
GPU shader initialization failed
OpenGL initialization completed

This is cusing the issue that i can't see the smoke (it doesn't even load)

Answer these questions

1. Which smokeview version you are using? Try the latest one.
2. At which platform is happening? Windows?
3. Please upload simplified input file of FDS to demonstrate the issue so we can verify from our end.

Thank you for your very fast answer.

1. I'm using the latest fds and smokeview software avaiable ( SMV6.4.4-46-g1a60197).
2. I'm on windows 10.
3. I'm not sure what you 've asked me there. I've used the couch.fds of the examples files and a file created by me after viewing some tutorials. I will upload them both. (changed the extension from fds to txt for uploading)

thanks again.

couch.txt
room.txt

OK, the room example will not have smoke. You sent the couch .out file. It looks like it should have smoke.

It's true, now i can see it. I was expecting smoke on the room too because the tutorial had it, but maybe is just another difference between fds5 and fds6. The smoke issue is solved then, I think. Now I'm just curius of what the failure masseges mean. What causes them and if they will will cause problem in the future with more complex jobs.

Thanks

Glenn will have to help us there.
