Description
SolverZ88 enables usage of the Z88 solver. It may be used for:
- Setting analysis parameters
- Selecting working directory
- Running the Z88 solver
Installation
To use the Z88 solver, the OpenSource version of Z88 (Z88OS) needs to be installed:
- Download the ZIP file from the Z88OS website.
- Extract the ZIP to a folder of your choice.
- In the FEM preferences go to the Z88 tab and there set the path to the z88r binary. If you are on Windows this would be the path to the file z88r.exe that is in the subfolder ~\bin\win64 of the folder where your extracted the ZIP.
Usage
SolverZ88 object is created automatically with creation of an
