Installing and Running CONVERGE Studio

Top  Previous  Next

To install CONVERGE Studio, log in to the Convergent Science hub (http://hub.convergecfd.com/downloads) and navigate to the appropriate directory. The installation file is located in the /CONVERGE 2.4/<operating system>/Studio/ directory, for example,

 

/CONVERGE_2.4/Linux/Studio

 

Note that the labels on the hub differ from the file names of the files that you download. In this section, we refer to the file names. Files in the CONVERGE Studio paths are named according to the convention CONVERGE Studio_<version>_<operating system><architecture>_<release date>.<package type> (for example, a 64-bit Windows version will be named CONVERGE_Studio_v2.4_win64_021819.msi).

 

Use the drop-down menu on the right to select the desired minor version and then click on the download icon or file label to download the file. You can install only one package on a system.

 

Table 6 below specifies installation instructions for CONVERGE Studio 2.4.

 

Note that the directions for installing version 2.3 are identical to 2.4, except that you must download the installation file from the /Older Releases/CONVERGE_2.3/<operating system>/Studio/ directory.
