Dear Friends,

I Installed MPICH2 on my machine and I have checked the smpd status which returned smpd running on $MyHostName$.

How should I run a file now!?

I tried the following command in cmd (in the file directory where OpenSeesSP.exe and my file.tcl exist):

mpiexec -np 2 OpenSeesSP CH.tcl

Then I got the "Credentials for $MyHostName$" rejected connecting to $MyHostName$
Aborting: Unable to connect to $MyHostName$

What is the error and how can I solve it?

Thanks in dvance for your help,
A.H.A

this is an mpi problem you need to sort out .. try stopping and restarting the spmd in debug mode to see if the error messages give a clue as to what your problems are
smpd -stop
smpd -start -d

Dear Dr. fmk,

Thanks for your response. The problem is solved by removing and registering the mpiexec again.

I run the the command in cmd, nothing happens! It goes to the next line and remains in the directory:

C:\Users\Amir\Desktop\OpenSeesParallel2.4.0>mpiexec -np 2 OpenSeesSP CH.tcl # Then when I press the Enter, results will be:

C:\Users\Amir\Desktop\OpenSeesParallel2.4.0> # Nothing happens! No warning, No Error and No Analyzing!

Thanks in advance for your help,

A.H.A

not sure if you are saying the problem is solved or if the original error has been solved and now there is a new problem!

Dear Dr. fmk,

I have first installed MPICH2 (mpich2-1.4.1p1-win-ia32). Then I add its path through Environmental variables. Finally, I ran the following commands:

smpd -install
mpiexec -remove
mpiexec -register (I add the User and Pass in this section)
mpiexec -validate (Which returned success)
smpd -status (Which returned running on $MyHostName$)

It seems up to now, all the things work fine! However, when I want to run my tcl file by the following command, it returns nothing!

C:\Users\Amir\Desktop\OpenSeesParallel2.4.0>mpiexec -np 4 OpenSeesSP CH.tcl

I have tried to run the file through OpenSeesSP.exe by: source CH.tcl

it works like OpenSees as expected. The System/Solver is Mumps

Thanks in advance for your help,
