Unable to import *.pvd

[ldecicco-USGS]

I'm having trouble running the simulation. I'm not 100% sure I have everything installed correctly.
First, I don't have access to "conda", so I can't use the installation instructions exactly.

In my Terminal, I ran:

pip install numpy
pip install vtk

> ogs6_run_simulation(ogs6_obj)
Error in ogs6_read_output_files(ogs6_obj = ogs6_obj) : 
  Output file not written out correctly.
                    Unable to import *.pvd

Does this message ring a bell that some installation is not done correctly?

Sorry for the late reply.

It seems that there is a problem with the VTK library, which version did you install?
You really need to install VTK v8.2.0 as shown on the README.

[ldecicco-USGS]

My organization doesn't allow us to use conda, so I had tried this first:

pip install vtk==8.2.0
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement vtk==8.2.0 (from versions: 9.2.4, 9.2.5, 9.2.6, 9.3.0rc1, 9.3.0rc2, 9.3.0, 9.3.20230807rc0)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for vtk==8.2.0

Are there other ways to get 8.2.0, I'm only seeing the conda instructions? I'm on Windows.

[joboog]

It seems like VTK abandoned v8.2.0 from PyPi.
I will try to make VTK v9.3.0 work.

Could you try VTK v8.1.2 instead?

[ldecicco-USGS]

The only versions I can install are:
9.2.4, 9.2.5, 9.2.6, 9.3.0rc1, 9.3.0rc2, 9.3.0, 9.3.20230807rc0

Sorry my computer is locked down so hard, it's been a recent change that we've had and I'm not use to the limitations...

Hi @ldecicco-USGS ,

I think I misunderstood the cause, sorry.
The problem is not VTK it is the actual OGS version which is not supported by r2ogs6 yet.
Please uninstall ogs and install version 6.4.4.
You can use vtk==9.3.0.

pip uninstall ogs
pip install ogs==6.4.4

[ldecicco-USGS]

My path now is:

...\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\site-packages\ogs\bin

The only exe that looks right is OGS2VTK.exe...does that sound OK?

options("r2ogs6.default_ogs6_bin_path" = "C:/Users/ldecicco/AppData/Roaming/Python/Python311/site-packages/ogs/bin/OGS2VTK.exe")

When I run that, I'm getting:

ogs6_run_simulation(ogs6_obj)
PARSE ERROR: Argument: C:/Users/ldecicco/AppData/Local/Temp/1/RtmpyOIgFm/my_simulation.prj

For complete USAGE and HELP type: 
   C:\Users\ldecicco\AppData\Roaming\Python\PYTHON~1\SITE-P~1\ogs\bin\OGS2VTK.exe --help

Error in ogs6_read_output_files(ogs6_obj = ogs6_obj) :

These are the files in that bin folder, is there something else I should use in the "r2ogs6.default_ogs6_bin_path"?

@ldecicco-USGS Sorry for the late reply. You are in the wrong directory. The ogs executable is called ogs.exe and not located in the module's bin directory. Please check C:\Users\ldecicco\AppData\Roaming\Python if there is a bin or Scripts directory including ogs.exe.

The master branch contains an updated version including a more handy way to install the Python environment and function to install OpenGeoSys. Please see the README. I tested it on Windows 10 with Python 3.11.
