Grip Compiling

Grip Compiling

Grip Compiling

(OP)
I have been searching the threads for this and so far no luck.

Basically we have a grip program that was provided for us, and I only want to modify it to produce more decimal places. You select a line and number of points and it spits the points into a .dat file.

This is easy enough to modify the .grs file, but I can't figure out how to compile the .grs into a .grx.

I got the assumption from one of the posts that this no longer requires a special license, if it does we don't have it, and that it should be available to all basic licenses of UG.

All I need is the command utility and location of the compiler. Thanks,

You may need a license to compile GRIP programs, but the GRIP execute license should be part of the base bundle.

To compile, start the GRIP development environment (Windows start button -> NX program group -> NX Tools -> NX Open Grip), use option 4 to change the output directory as desired, use option 2 to compile your source file(s) (this step creates the .gri file(s)), fix errors reported and repeat as necessary, and finally option 3 to link the file(s) (the .grx file is created).

RE: Grip Compiling

Grip execute is included, but the compile is an optional cost.
The development environment is called GRADE (Grip Advanced Development Environoment).

That appears to be it. We have the compiler, and we can use grips, I'll check the license but I don't think we have any special permissions related to grip files.

Thanks for the hole cowski, as always you have the answer I seem to need.

RE: Grip Compiling

(OP)
I spoke to soon, the program to compile does come up and look like it will work, however when you try to compile it says that it is missing the license file for that feature. So you do need a license to compile grips as looslib indicated.

Thanks again

RE: Grip Compiling

If all you need is compiling a completed .grs (s for source file, x for executable in .grx)
and the source is "non confidential", "we" can help you. It's a matter of maybe 30 seconds work to compile it for you.
- Provided the source is ok.

If the .grs is non-confidential , upload it here and some of us will put it back.

Tomas
