In my line of work I've seen many cases of over-usage of FEM calculations which in the end tends to complicate the reviewing process and adds time to the project execution. As a synergy effect, they become much easier to review and not least to verify the plausibility of the numeric calculation results produced by FEA. More often than not seemingly complex problems can be simplified into intuitive analytical counterparts.

Lately I've become more and more inclined towards executing manual calculations rather than using advanced FEA software to solve engineering problems (structural mechanics). In many cases they are appropriate to use, but the obvious disadvantage is that such sheets easily become messy and if no explanatory efforts are made they are black boxes since you normally don’t see the underlying equations (and even if you did it is not very practical). sourceĮngineers often resort to using spreadsheet tools like Excel or LibreOffice.

This post will be a walk-through on how to install SMATH on Ubuntu 22.04. Installing the Mono-version did not work for me (Ubuntu 22.04), instead I resorted to this website where Wine is used to run Windows files and it works very well. It works great from here (tested on Ubuntu MATE 18.04.1 LTS):

enjoy using SMathStudio by starting it from desktop shortcut.

then select I don't want to make another shortcut.

in PlayOnLinux wizard agree with creation of SMath Studio Desktop.exe desktop shortcut by selecting it and clicking Next.

in Please select the install file to run click Browse, select SMathStudioDesktop.0_99_ and click Next, follow SMath's wizard.

scroll Please make your choice to check POL_Install_dotnet20sp2 and click Next, wait it to finish.

select 32-bit and click Next, wait it to finish.

check Install some libraries and click Next.

enter name for wine virtual drive (for example, smathstudio) and click Next.

select Install program in a new virtual drive, click Next.

Run PlayOnLinux ( Applications→Games→PlayOnLinux or playonlinux) then: Other method is to install version for MS Windows ( SMathStudioDesktop.0_99_) using PlayOnLinux. Note 3: to start over remove SMathStudio configuration folder with rm -rf ~/.config/SMath/.

Note 2: if you are using default GNOME Shell, then you can try to use previous version - SMathStudioDesktop.0_98_. Note 1: this version is currently stored on this Slackware mirror and in ArchLinux. smathstudio_desktop_mono executable, it works: After some trial and error I got version SMathStudioDesktop.0_99_ working on Ubuntu MATE 18.04.1 LTS by installing two packages - mono-runtime (contains mono executable) and mono-devel (as you already did): sudo apt install mono-runtime mono-devel
