Software: PFC3D

Updates



These updates are to be used only by licensed PFC3D users. They are not "trial" versions of the code, nor are they fully functional installations - before downloading the update you must install PFC3D from the Itasca CD-ROM.

The PFC3D 4.0 manual corresponds with the release of PFC3D 4.0-121. All program modifications since that release are described in:

PFC3D_EV is provided along with PFC3D, and its release occurred with PFC3D 4.0-182. PFC3D_EV is built on the physics engine of PFC3D, thus documentation of the physics is in the PFC3D 4.0 manual. Documentation for the capabilities that are specific to PFC3D_EV is provided in the PFC3D_EV help file (pfc3d_ev400help.chm).

Pre-Requisites Update Instructions Supplementary Files
Revision History

 

Starting with subversion 187, an update to the Microsoft (R) Visual C++ 2005 Runtime is REQUIRED. (The current subversion of the code update available here appears at the end of the Revision History — see link above.) If not present, on startup the code will return an error message similar to "The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem" (on Windows XP or later) or it will complain of missing DLLs (Windows 2000).

Please use the link above that corresponds to your 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. The installation process need only be performed once; subsequent updates to PFC3D will not require these steps to be repeated.
