CATIA V5R6 and Intel MKL 5.1 (FEM analysis)

[gionnino]

Hi
I've installed Intel MKL 5.1 Library, but CATIA can't find the libraries and send me a warning whenever I launch a calculation. What I have to do?

Gionnino,

Did you set the path in your environement variable :
set PATH:=C:\Program Files\intel\plsuite\bin ?
Cheers

 

Thank you Escalibur. I set the path (on my computer is D:\Programmi\Intel\MKL\ia32\bin; I downloaded Intel MKL 5.1 for evaluation) but CATIA doesn't notice it. Should I reinsatll CATIA?

Make sure that you have installed the Intel MKL 5.1b (the 'b' is important), I think you installed the Intel MKL 5.1e (which only be supported by CATIA V5R9)
Cheers

Thank you Excalibur. Where could I find MKL 5.1b?

 

Did anyone get this to work? I have R8 with MKL 5.2E, haven't seen anything yet. I set the environment path to the "bin" directory of MKL.

Thanks!

Like I said, do not try to use the MKL 5.2E with CATIA V5R8 or CATIA V5R7 because IT WONT WORK !! I know Intel remove the MKL 5.2B from their website but if you ask IBM or INTEL, they should provide it to you.
