May I have your attention please,I want to use GUI software OGS dataexplorer and I installed the Microsoft visual c++ redistributable package according to the mannual, but I still get the .dll file error.Are there any other method for me to use OGS
Hi wyf,
sorry for the late response. OGS is mainly a commandline software. The OGS Data Explorer only has very limited support for OGS 6.
To start with OGS it might be easiest if you download OGS (e.g. from the release page) and some suitable benchmark test case as a starting point (see, e.g. here for instructions)
You can get an over view over available benchmarks in the benchmark gallery.
If you are familiar with Python there is an alternative way: you can pip install ogs and download a Jupyter notebook and necessary OGS input files (see benchmark download instructions as linked above). You’ll find some Jupyter notebooks in the benchmark gallery, too.
But since you have some DLL problems you’ll probably have to fix them in either case. If you need help with that, please provide more information. What error messages are shown? Which command exactly did you execute? I’m not a windows user, so I probably cannot help, but maybe somebody else from the community takes a look.
Best regards,
Christoph
