AEM3D runs through command window but not through HydroHub?

Question

Hey y'all,

I'm new to the HydroHub interface. I can get AEM3D to run through the command window, but not HydroHub. I'm pretty sure I have the correct version of HydroHub and Java (following the discussion in this thread). When I try to run the preprocessor, I get an error that says: 

INFO: class hn.hydrohub.tasks.TaskException
ERROR: CAUGHT EXCEPTION

When I go to change the workspace, it says I should pick the directory with HydroHubDBConnections.xml and HydroHubPasswordRepository.xml, but I don't have these files. I get the following message when I try to change the workspace:

ERROR: CAUGHT EXCEPTION
ERROR: UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION 
ERROR: UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION null
ERROR: UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION File  : ChangeWorkSpace.java
ERROR: UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION Class : hn.hydrohub.gui.operations.file.ChangeWorkSpace
ERROR: UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION Method: actionPerformed
ERROR: UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION Line  : 105

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Hi,  the change workspace function is really only for the full decision support system version of HydroHub.

Have you set the HN Executables directory in preferences to the directory containing aem3d.exe / aem3d_openmp.exe?  

At what point do you get the

INFO: class hn.hydrohub.tasks.TaskException
ERROR: CAUGHT EXCEPTION

Thanks

Chris

Hey Chris, thanks for the response.

The HN Executables directory in preferences contains aem3d.exe and aem3d_openmp.exe.

When I try to run pre_aem3d from HydroHub, I get a dialog box that says "Error running executable ...pre_aem3d.exe. Consulte log for more information. Method: executeTask." That's the point I get the error message above in the log.

Thanks,
Jackie

I'm not sure why the exe won't run through Java it may be a permissions issue.

Is the path C:\Users\tayl1562\pre_aem3d.exe correct?
Can you run this exe in the cmd line?

Answer 2

Try these instructions from Shuqi Lin:

I have successfully run AEM3D via command line and HydroHubLite. The new version of AEM3D needs a number of DLL files which contains the Fortran runtime routines.
To run the model, we need to move ‘libifcoremd.dll’, ‘libifcoremdd.dll’,  ‘libmmd.dll’, ‘libmmdd.dll’ into ‘pre’ folder; and move ‘libifcoremd.dll’, ‘libifcoremdd.dll’,  ‘libifportmd.dll’, ‘libmmd.dll’, ‘libmmdd.dll’, ’svml_dispmd.dll’ into ‘run’ folder.

Can you try the latest HydroHub download now up on our website.  I think I may have fixed the issue.
