Importing a plugin

Question

I have modified a stress model plugin (LandStress.model) and would like to import it into CARPentry. Following the tutorial "Basic usage of code generation tool limpet_fe.py", I have generated the corresponding "MyLandStress.c" and "MyLandStress.so" files. I then tried to import the new model using a line syntax of the form:

./run.py --load-module ./MyLandStress.so --EP TT2 --Stress MyLandStress    etc.

but I get an error "Illegal plugin specified". Is this not the correct way to import the model?

Cheers,

Hi Alex,

Do you try to load a plugin to an ionic model in your setup (either the adapted MyLandStress or other IMPs that might be used in your setting)?

Hi Axel,
Yes, my code generates the carp command with the arguments:

-imp_region[0].im TT2 \
-imp_region[0].plugins LandStress_Cai_lambda \

Should this not be enough to read the plugin?
The simulation I'm trying to run is a modified version of the "04 EM coupling" tutorial. I just want to substitute LandStress_Cai_lambda for LandStress . I've already modified the section on line 240:
group.add_argument('--Stress', default='TanhStress',
                        choices=['LandStress','TanhStress', 'LandStress_Cai_lambda'],
                        help='pick stress model')
but still there seems to be a problem at execution.

Hi!

Please try providing an absolute path to the shared-object you generated. E.g.:

./run.py --load-module /path/to/MyLandStress.so --EP TT2 --Stress MyLandStress
