Error b"'sbatch' is not recognized as an internal or external command

MFiX Installation
#1

I’ve recently installed MFiX, but when trying to run any tutorial I receive the following error:

b"‘sbatch’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,\r\noperable program or batch file.\r\n"

Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi -

Try unchecking the “Submit to batch” checkbox (see attached screenshot).

It looks like the default may be incorrect - we should default to running jobs locally, not submitting to a batch queue. I’ll take a look and see why this is happening.

In the meanwhile simply deselect “Submit to queue” and the error should go away. Let us know if you still have trouble.

Thank you, that worked. I didn’t even see that as a checkbox. Thank you for the timely response as well.

Thanks for the bug report! That checkbox is now unchecked by default in the latest point release of MFiX.
