How are you configuring this new project? We recommend using the CMake-based procedure of configuring and building your own project depending on Chrono that is described [here](http://api.projectchrono.org/tutorial_install_project.html). This relies on...

There are different FEA formulations used in Chrono, most notable co-rotational and ANCF. You can find some details about these in the whitepapers provided with the Chrono documentation: [https://projectchrono.org/whitepapers/](https://projectchrono.org/whitepapers/). As...

Primarily computational cost, difficulty of obtaining parameters, dealing with very large soil deformations and fracture/ejecta. But it may be a valid approach for certain applications/scenarios. And interesting hybrid approach is...

I do not have access to test this on a processor that doesn't support AVX at all, but just asked a colleague to test it on a processor that has...

On the one processor I have available for testing this type of issue (Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2), CMake Chrono configuration correctly identifies AVX support but no AVX2 support when using...

You are not cross-compiling, right? Could you maybe print a message somewhere in the elseif branch at lines 38-41 of cmake/FindAVX.cmake in the `feature/clang` branch code and check that it...

Yes, that is added a few lines below when attempting to build a small test program. Without `-march-native`, clang compiles that successfully even if the host does not support AVX2...

Have you looked at the documentation page? It includes detailed instructions on how to configure and build the code.: https://api.projectchrono.org/tutorial_table_of_content_install.html

Sorry for the late reply. Did you resolve this issue? If not, could please try to disable SIMD support during CMake configuration (uncheck `USE_SIMD`)?

Open Cascade. Did you provide the proper path to the (CMake) Open Cascade project configuration script during Chrono cmake configuration? See https://api.projectchrono.org/module_cascade_installation.html. Note that we currently do not support Open...
