The delivery archive contains :

• the executable module and run scripts,

• the verification tests (bench directory) and the validation tests (validate directory)
• the user's manual for the current version (Manual_Prod_YYYY.pdf in the resources
directory),
• the EPX logo to be used for the communications concerning your usage of the
program (in the resource directory).

Installation instruction:

• uncompress the downloaded archive in the 'dir_epx' directory,

• in the 'dir_epx' directory complete the environment file 'env_prod_YYYY.sh' or
'env_prod_YYYY.csh' by adding the missing paths.

Running EPX in any directory from a console:

• type "source 'dir_epx'/env_prod_YYYY.(c)sh"

• Sequential EPX:
o Type run_bench: to run the benchmark tests
o type "europlexus fic.epx [fic_mesh.msh]" where fic.epx is your data file and
fic_mesh.msh is your associated mesh file, required if not fic.msh

• MPI -EPX
o Type run_bench –mpi nproc: to run the benchmark tests
o type "epx_launch_mpi –np nproc -data fic.epx [fic_mesh.msh]" where
fic.epx is your data file and fic_mesh.msh is your associated mesh file,
required if not fic.msh
