Make a simulation executable on windows

0 votes

Hi guys,

is there a way to make a fenics simulation executable on windows?
My program works on ubuntu, but it doesnt work on windows because fenics isnt supported there. So my idea was to make a gui using Tkinter where I can set a few parameters and then convert the compiled .py file to an .exe file.
The only ways I found in the internet needed wine to run py2exe, which I guess wont work.

Any ideas?

The easiest way is to run fenics in a container of some sort, such as docker.
