CEAgui Download for Unix (Sun, Sgi, Linux, and Mac OS X )

NASA's CEAgui is a Java GUI Application for NASA's CEA Fortran program. CEAgui creates or modifies your input file (e.g. xxx.inp) and runs a previously complied Fortran executable named FCEA2. FCEA2 generates an output file (e.g. xxx.out)on your local machine. The requirements for running this Java Application on your local machine are:

• CEAgui JAR file which consists of Java classes, examples, and supporting HTML files.
• CEA+ Fortran Package which consists of cea2.f, cea.inc, thermo.inp, trans.inp, cea2.inp, b1b2b3.f, syntax.f.
• CEAexec Package which consists of the rest of the supporting files for selected Unix platforms (Sun Solaris, Sgi Irix, Linux, and Mac OS X).
• If you have not installed the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) on your local machine, you must install the Java Runtime Environment ( JRE ). JRE is included in the Java JDK.
  You always download the latest releases from the Sun Microsystems.
  For examples: "JRE 6 Update 6" or "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 6"
  Please select the following download links:
  • download for Sun Solaris, Windows and Linux
  • download for Mac OS X 10.4 or later

Downloading the files via FTP or HTTP

* It includes CEA related Packages - CAP, PAC, and MISC.

The CEAgui Download Installation Procedures for Unix(sun or sgi or linux or mac OS X):

1. Create the installation directory on your local machine (e.g. mkdir CEAexec)
2. Download all ZIP files and the JRE executable file and save into the installation directory ( e.g. cd CEAexec )
3. Extract files from the CEAgui JAR file (CEAgui-jar.tar.Z).
   
   zcat CEAgui-jar.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
4. Extract files from the Fortran Package (CEA+Fortran.tar.Z).
   
   zcat CEA+Fortran.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
5. Select one of the following platforms:
• For Sun, extract files from the CEAexec Package (CEAexec-sun.tar.Z).
  
  zcat CEAexec-sun.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
• For Sgi, extract files from the CEAexec Package (CEAexec-sgi.tar.Z).
  
  zcat CEAexec-sgi.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
• For Linux, extract files from the CEAexec Package (CEAexec-linux.tar.Z).
  
  zcat CEAexec-linux.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
• For Mac OS X, extract files from the CEAexec Package (CEAexec-mac.tar.Z).
  
  zcat CEAexec-mac.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
6. Check that you must have the SIX files ( CEAgui.jar, thermo.lib, trans.lib, syntax, b1b2b3, FCEA2 ) in the installation directory. The file permissions of the executable files ( syntax, b1b2b3, FCEA2 ) must be set to executable, and update UNIX environment variables ( CLASSPATH, PATH ), then execute the shell script runCEA.sh
7. Very important! Update your PATH variable to include your installation directory.
   setenv    PATH    ${PATH}:.
