I am new in the world of OpenMDAO (and also on Python) and I am having some problems to understand the use of the software. I have already installed Anaconda (pyth v2.7) and the OpenMDAO, but I don't know how to run it. I am following this tutorial but I am not sure if I am doing it properly. I write the .py files in notepad++, and I try to run on the IPython but when I use the command : from paraboloid import Paraboloid it appears an error : No module named.api. I think that maybe I am not using the correct path (I'm in the folder where I have the .py files). Probably it's an stupid error, so sorry for the question.

Thank you all, Jose M O

If your tutorial link above is correct, I see that you are using a tutorial for OpenMDAO 0.1.0. That version is 5.5 years old at this time, and is no longer supported. We will be happy to help with your questions, but to get a better foundation, and a much more useful tool, please consider:

  1. Install OpenMDAO 1.5.0 (pip install openmdao or read these installation docs)

  2. Try this paraboloid tutorial instead.

Good luck,

Keith

NOTE: If you installed OpenMDAO 1.x.x and are using the tutorial from 0.1.0, you would have many problems with api imports, as many things have changed since 0.1.0.
