MPI pre-compiled library doesn't seem to work

[bpound]

First, thanks for making Radia a Python package! I very much appreciate it.

I am using python 3.8.10. I successfully run Radia on Windows using the pre-built binary radia_py3_8_x64.pyd . I do as you said in the other thread, rename this file to radia.pyd. Then, to make sure that Python finds it, I also have "import sys; sys.path.append("path-to-pyd-folder")" at the top of my scripts.

Hoping to get some speedup on computation, I tried the same procedure with the MPI-enabled Radia version, radia_py3_8_x64_mpi.pyd . However, simply renaming it to radia.pyd and trying to run the example with "python RADIA_TestParallel01.py" results in the error:

"import radia as rad
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing radia: The specified module could not be found."

Do you have any suggestions?
