[John P. <joh...@an...>]

Hi Girish

Thanks for your enquiry. Our list of possible student projects with 
ASCEND is given here:
http://ascend4.org/Student_projects

We haven't yet updated this list for 2013, but many of the topics are 
still available, and at the least you get a good idea of the range of 
possible areas and levels of difficulty etc.

In my experience, projects in ASCEND fall into two broad categories, (1) 
the 'hardcore' ones that involve work on the compiler and/or solver 
engines, and require a solid mathematical as well as software 
background, and (2) the interface and usability ones, that can still be 
complex and difficult, but tend to be more difficult on the software 
side and have a lower requirement in mathematical programming. Our 
interface and GUI code is mostly in Python/PyGTK (with a thin C++ 
'wrapper' layer that we would like to remove at some point), while our 
solvers and compiler are written in C.

I would encourage you first of all to jump in build (compile/install) 
and *use* ASCEND for a little while, so that you are clear about what it 
currently achieves. Give us some thoughts on areas that you think it 
should be improved. From there, we can perhaps discuss a topic suitable 
for you and your interests.

Cheers
JP

Re: [ASCEND] Source Code

[John P. <joh...@an...>]

Hi Nithin,

If you have difficulty accessing via the SVN protocol (we have seen this 
in particular with the IITs in India in the past) then you have two 
options currently. First is to use the Launchpad mirror of our trunk 
code, see here: https://code.launchpad.net/~jdpipe/ascend/trunk. Second 
is to use an SSH or VPN connection from your university in order to 
access a machine from which SVN protocol is permitted.

I note that you can also *browse* recent changes via our 'code' website, 
http://code.ascend4.org/viewvc/code/branches/, although the Launchpad 
mirror unfortunately doesn't give you access to that stuff.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
JP

The http uri you posted does not exist, but the website offers an
alternative for those who cannot use the svn native protocol:

,----<excerpt from http://ascend4.org/VersionManagement>
| Note that if you are behind a proxy, you may not be able to access our
| Subversion repository. Some proxies, especially some universities,
| prevent access via the 'svn:' protocol. You may find some useful

| access our bzr mirror of the trunk code, available from
| https://code.launchpad.net/~jdpipe/ascend/trunk. We can also set up an
| SSH tunnel for you if you ask very nicely.
`----

So use:

 :; bzr branch https://code.launchpad.net/~jdpipe/ascend/trunk

instead of svn.

Looking at the page at launchpad, I see that also can be written:

 :; bzr branch lp:ascend

Re: [ASCEND] Tcl/Tk interface

[John P. <joh...@an...>]

Hi Ben

As I recall, Ubuntu around version 11.04 did include TkTable but they 
have since removed it and it's nolonger available in Ubuntu 12.04. If 
you are familiar with the build process for TkTable we could possibly 
distribute our own package.

http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads
is where i would start if your native tcl does not include tktable.
You would install the activestate tk version for your hardware/os and
then need to
pass tk, tcl options to scons per whatever option names JP can tell us.

a quick look at ubuntu 12 suggests it does not package tktable yet.

Re: [ASCEND] Tcl/Tk interface

[John P. <joh...@an...>]

Hi Tim

I'm afraid I haven't attempted to use the Tcl/Tk GUI yet with Ubuntu 
12.04 LTS, but I believe that Ben Allan, as our main Tcl fan and key 
developer of that GUI, has done so. The issue that I saw was that 
TkTable2.9 has been dropped from the Ubuntu repositories; previously 
that was a dependency of the Tcl/Tk GUI and needed to be installed 
together with tk-dev and tcl-dev in order for the Tcl/Tk GUI of ASCEND 
to be built.

If you have succeeded in building the Tcl/Tk GUI, the executable is in 
tcltk/interface/asc4dev (a wrapper script for running inside the 
'working directory') or tcltk/interface/ascend4 (a wrapper script for 
running from the 'installed location').

Give me some more info on where the problem exists and Ben or I might be 
able to help you further.

Cheers
JP

Ascend Users,

I successfully downloaded the source for 0.9.8, but it appears that the T
cl/Tk interface is not absolve.  How do I build the code with the Tcl/Tk
interface included?  Once built, how do I run using this interface?

I'm using ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Any help provided would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [ASCEND] Trouble building from source in debian

[John P. <joh...@an...>]

Hi Martin

The 'ascdev' script is for DEVelopers, and works from inside the working 
directory. The 'ascend' script is for users, and works only after the 
program is installed in its target location using 'scons install' (or 
dtar -- check our wiki about that).

I guess this is something that needs to be more clearly explained somewhere.

FWIW I believe you shouldn't have to build SUNDIALS 2.4.0 from source, 
it's available for 12.04 in the repositories:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libsundials-serial-dev

[ASCEND] Trouble building from source in debian

[Martin L. <ml...@gm...>]

Hi all.

When trying to build from source, following the instructions for Ubuntu
http://ascend4.org/Building_ASCEND#Ubuntu_12.04_LTS

I reveive the following error messages:

solvers/ida/ida.c:940: error: incompatible type for argument 2 of
‘IDAReInit’
/usr/include/ida/ida.h:465: note: expected ‘IDAResFn’ but argument is of
type ‘realtype’
solvers/ida/ida.c:940: error: incompatible type for argument 3 of
‘IDAReInit’
/usr/include/ida/ida.h:465: note: expected ‘realtype’ but argument is of
type ‘N_Vector’
solvers/ida/ida.c:940: error: too few arguments to function ‘IDAReInit’
scons: *** [solvers/ida/ida.os] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

This is my first encounter with scons. I can post the whole output of
scons if that helps, but those should be all the error messages.
Which package in Debian (or Ubuntu) provides IDA?

cheers, Martin

Re: [ASCEND] ASCEND 0.9.8-py2.7 on windows

[John P. <jo...@cu...>]

Hi Duane

The first thing to check is whether you're running 64-bit of 32-bit
Windows. If 64-bit, are you also running a full set of native 64-bit
Python, GTK+, Matplotlib, jModelica, etc? Or just 32-bit? If you have
32-bit Python on 634-bit Windows, that's a bit of a tricky case: beware
of the locations that your stuff is installed in. You should have GTK+
installed in c:\Program Files (x86)\GTK+-2.222 (this should be the
installer found in 'thirdparty' in the ASCEND download site -- the ones
ending in '-a4.exe' for ASCEND4).

It sounds as though GTK+ is probably not being detected correctly.
ASCEND's installer doesn't use Python to determine if a fully
operational GTK is installed. Instead if queries the Windows registry
and then checks whether an expected DLL is there. You can check out the
details of the test here:
http://code.ascend4.org/viewvc/code/trunk/nsis/detect.nsi?revision=4102&view=markup
http://code.ascend4.org/viewvc/code/trunk/nsis/installer.nsi?view=markup

One small possibility is that the 'Program Files' directory name is
hard-coded somewhere in the installer. Do you have a non-English version
of Windows? What is the name of your Program Files directory? I haven't
really tested that case.

Check whether 'import gtk' works correctly from an IPython prompt.

Probably this is about a registry key or file location not being what
was expected. Let me know if any of the above helps; if not, I'll
scratch my head a bit more...

Cheers
JP

Re: [ASCEND] Installation in Debian stable - dependency troubles

[<cca...@pu...>]

Hi all for ipopt compile the package   from source Code in /opt
 ----- Mensaje original ----- De:Daikokuten Eudaemon Para:ml...@gm... Asunto:Re: [ASCEND] Installation in Debian stable - dependency troubles Martin,

The file attached is a collection of commands with which I was able to
install ASCEND4 on Ubuntu 12.04. Note the call "sudo dpkg -r blcr-dkms"
which was needed because the blcr-dkms package that was apt-get'ed with
coinor-libipopt-dev broke on install.

Regards,
DFE

Re: [ASCEND] Installation in Debian stable - dependency troubles

[John P. <joh...@an...>]

Hi Martin

Apologies for the delay. I have been using ASCEND for various power 
cycles with my FPROPS code and more recently have added a new model for 
heat exchanger pinch analysis. So far the heat exchanger model is quite 
crude, but I think we can improve on it, and perhaps you would like to 
be involved in that, especially if you have had exposure to methods for 
doing this in industry.

ASCEND should be find with any 2.x version of Python, you should use 
whatever is provided on your system. We haven't yet tried to updated to 
Python 3, although that's probably going to need to be done quite soon.

On Debian you should probably try building from source. It shouldn't be 
too hard, and there are some instructions on the wiki, and although 
they're more specific to Ubuntu, I wouldn't expect too many difficulties 
except possibly having to change the version of some dependency 
packages, perhaps.

Happy to talk on or off list about some of your specific modelling 
tasks, if you're interested.

Cheers
JP

[ASCEND] Installation in Debian stable - dependency troubles

[Martin L. <ml...@gm...>]

Hello all!

I'd like to try & learn ascend, and I'm experiencing trouble with the
installation. ascend depends on python2.7, for some reason aptitude
doesn't want to install that. So obviously this isn't an ascend issue,
but maybe one that other debian-users have run into.

I'd be grateful for any pointers to success stories.

btw, as this is my first mail to the list as a short introduction - I
work as an  engineer designing biogas plants, while >90% of the
calculations I have to are solved by spreadsheets, I want to expand my
abilities a bit. I'd be mostly interested in modeling heat exchangers,
piping networks and the like, my understanding is that ascend can work
with a lot of systems as long as the model is accurate.

Regards, Martin.

Submission of Summaries

Tcl/Tk 2012 will be held in Chicago, Illinois, USA from November 12 -
16, 2012. The program committee is asking for papers and presentation
proposals from anyone using or developing with Tcl/Tk (and
extensions). Past conferences have seen submissions covering a wide
variety of topics including:

* Scientific and engineering applications
* Industrial controls
* Distributed applications and Network Managment
* Object oriented extensions to Tcl/Tk
* New widgets for Tk
* Simulation and application steering with Tcl/Tk
* Tcl/Tk-centric operating environments
* Tcl/Tk on small and embedded devices
* Medical applications and visualization
* Use of different programming paradigms in Tcl/Tk and proposals for new
  directions.
* New areas of exploration for the Tcl/Tk language

Submissions should consist of an abstract of about 100 words and a
summary of not more than two pages, and should be sent as plain text
to <tclconference AT googlegroups DOT com> no later than August 27,
2012. Authors of accepted abstracts will have until October 29, 2012
to submit their final paper for the inclusion in the conference
proceedings. The proceedings will be made available on digital media,
so extra materials such as presentation slides, code examples, code
for extensions etc. are encouraged.

Printed proceedings will be produced as an on-demand book at lulu.com

The authors will have 25 minutes to present their paper at the
conference.

The program committee will review and evaluate papers according to the
following criteria:

* Quantity and quality of novel content
* Relevance and interest to the Tcl/Tk community
* Suitability of content for presentation at the conference

Proposals may report on commercial or non-commercial systems, but
those with only blatant marketing content will not be accepted.

Application and experience papers need to strike a balance between
background on the application domain and the relevance of Tcl/Tk to
the application. Application and experience papers should clearly
explain how the application or experience illustrates a novel use of
Tcl/Tk, and what lessons the Tcl/Tk community can derive from the
application or experience to apply to their own development efforts.

Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreements will be returned to
the author(s) unread. All submissions are held in the highest
confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a
matter of policy and in accord with the U. S. Copyright Act of 1976.

The primary author for each accepted paper will receive registration
to the Technical Sessions portion of the conference at a reduced rate.

Other Forms of Participation

The program committee also welcomes proposals for panel discussions of
up to 90 minutes. Proposals should include a list of confirmed
panelists, a title and format, and a panel description with position
statements from each panelist. Panels should have no more than four
speakers, including the panel moderator, and should allow time for
substantial interaction with attendees. Panels are not presentations
of related research papers.

Slots for Works-in-Progress (WIP) presentations and Birds-of-a-Feather
sessions (BOFs) are available on a first-come, first-served basis
starting in August 6, 2012. Specific instructions for reserving WIP
and BOF time slots will be provided in the registration information
available in June 2012. Some WIP and BOF time slots will be held open
for on-site reservation. All attendees with an interesting work in
progress should consider reserving a WIP slot.

Registration Information

More information on the conference is available the conference Web
site (http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2012/) and will be published on
various Tcl/Tk-related information channels.
