.. _chapter_installation: ************ Installation ************ This instuctions are for the latest MORe release 4.0 Ftan. For versions prior to MORe 4.0 Ftan, the installation instructions can be found here: https://www.more-simulations.ch/docs/3_1/installation.html . Download ======== There is no public download link for MORe. If you are interested in a copy, please go to https://www.more-simulations.ch . Prerequisites ============= MORe uses finite element models from `ANSYS`_ Mechanical. Therefore a working installation of ANSYS Mechanical is required (ANSYS version 16 or later). The required license is * for mechanical-only use of MORe: *ANSYS Mechanical Pro* and for * thermo-mechanical use of MORe: *ANSYS Mechanical Enterprise*. Restrictions on `ANSYS`_ models: * shell elements are not supported for thermo-mechanical simulations * lumped inertia is not supported for thermo-mechanical simulations For the optional MATLAB toolbox and Simulink library, `MATLAB`_ and `Simulink`_ are required (MATLAB version 2017b or later). Installation of MORe on Windows OS ================================== #. Download the latest MORe installer from the customer portal on https://www.more-simulations.ch #. Run the installer as a normal user (no admin privileges required) #. Choose Install Location #. It is recommended to keep the default installation location to avoid permission errors. #. Proxy Settings #. Depending on your proxy, the installer picks up the system proxy settings automatically. Only setup a custom proxy, if you get connection errors during installation. #. MORe installer needs access to the following URLs: #. https://repo.anaconda.com #. http://repo.continuum.io #. Choose Components #. It is recommended to install all components to get the best user experience. #. Installing #. The installer now downloads and installs the required components. #. If you get errors during installation, make sure to include the “detailed output” in your support request. #. Now MORe can be started with one of the following options: #. From the shortcut in your Start Menu: MORe Simulations/MORe #. By double-clicking a .more model file #. Advanced users can start MORe in Spyder IDE from the shortcut MORe Simulations/MORe Spyder .. _Spyder: https://pythonhosted.org/spyder/ .. _ANSYS: http://www.ansys.com/ .. _MATLAB: https://ch.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html .. _Simulink: https://www.mathworks.com/products/simulink.html
