Please note that in any of the options below, you should NEVER post any information that is confidential or sensitive in any way. These are public sites and can be read by anyone. If you want some level of anonymity, you can create and use a free Gmail account with a username that does not reveal your identity. This will allow you to post freely and unrestricted by what others might think. We don't care who you are, as long as we can best help you with any difficulties you encounter using CFAST.
If you plan to upload a file to illustrate your problem, then please do the following:
- Make the file as simple as possible and still have the problem exist. It is much easier to locate the problem in a 30 line input file vs. a 10,000 line input file.
- If possible, modify the input file so that the problem appears quickly during a computation.
Discussion Group
There is a very useful Discussion Group where you can post a question to the community. This is closely monitored by all of the developers and is the best place to get your question answered. Posting here instead of just sending an e-mail to one of the developers, will not only open your question up to all the developers at once, but will allow you to tap into the collective expertise of the entire community.
