The user interface of Kratos with [GiD](http://www.gidsimulation.com).

If you need the latest stable release, launch your GiD, navigate to Data > Problemtype > Internet retrieve and download Kratos there.

Available for Linux. Windows, and macOS.

If you need the developer version, you are on the right place.

## First steps

* 1- Clone this repository, or install a stable [release](https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/GiDInterface/releases)

* 2- Install the latest GiD developer version **(minimum 16.1.4d)** -> [Developer version](https://www.gidsimulation.com/gid-for-science/downloads/)

* 3- Navigate to GiD's problemtype folder and delete any previous kratos.gid

    * Create there a link to our [kratos.gid](./kratos.gid/) downloaded in step 1

        * Windows: Simple shortcut to kratos.gid folder

* 4- Choose your execution mode:

    * 4.1- **Default execution mode.** Use GiD's python:

        * You don't need to install python. The program will detect if you have any pending package to install.

        * If there's any missing package, use the GiD command line and execute:

        

            `-np- W [GiD_Python_PipInstallMissingPackages [list $Kratos::pip_packages_required ] ]`

    * 4.1- To execute Kratos using the standard pip packages:

        * Python version recommended: 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11

        * Open a terminal and run

            - Linux: `python3 -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir KratosMultiphysics-all==9.5.1`

            - Windows: `python -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir KratosMultiphysics-all==9.5.1`

    * 4.2- To execute Kratos using your compiled binaries:

        * Fill the Kratos preferences windows with

            - Path to the python folder

            - Path to the kratos build folder

        * Step by step video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZq7ypDdudo

    * 4.3- To execute Kratos using docker, just install docker.

        * Note: This is the ONLY option if you are a **macOS** user at this moment

### Launch modes

In Kratos preferences, select the execution mode:

* GiD's python: Use the GiD internal python to run. It will help you install the pip packages

* Pip packages: Kratos will be installed via `pip install`

* local compiled: If you are a developer and build your applications, use this one

* docker: If you do not want to install any dependency, just run via docker!

    * The default image is [fjgarate/kratos-run](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/fjgarate/kratos-run)

### Usage

* Run GiD

* Go to top menu: Data / Problem type / kratos

* Go to top menu: kratos / Preferences / Developer mode (recommended)

### Examples

* [Fluid dynamics example](https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Kratos/wiki/Running-an-example-from-GiD#3-set-a-fluid-dynamics-problem)

* [Structural mechanics example](https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Kratos/wiki/Running-an-example-from-GiD#4-set-a-structural-mechanics-problem)

* [Fluid-Structure interaction example](https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Kratos/wiki/Running-an-example-from-GiD#5-set-a-fluid-structure-interaction-problem)
