Re: Parallel Settings for ElmerGUI

Yes, the problem is that the values are numerically zero with parallel processing. The single processor solution produces reasonable non-zero values. Now, with the mesh passed through autoclean the parallel values are identical to those from the single processor solution. Bottom line is that I most ...

Re: Parallel Settings for ElmerGUI

Kevin, that is interesting. The model also runs also runs fine from my Win10 ElmerGUI (8.4), but the vtu and pvtu files can't display any results. Were you able to show any results with paraview? I have since passed the mesh through autoclean and everything, including the output data, is OK. I might...

Re: Parallel Settings for ElmerGUI

Kevin, Sorry for all the confusion regarding attachments. I deleted an old attachment that I sent many years ago; now my file attachments are accepted. Please see attached files. In the meantime, I will experiment with different meshing options. I wonder if there are some unattached nodes. Thank you...

Re: Parallel Settings for ElmerGUI

Kevin, Thank you for your quick reply. The problem was that I was using forward slashes (/). When I changed the path to use backward slashes (as I should with Win 10) the parallel solver worked. Another problem surfaced when using the parallel solver. Using the parallel solver with a linear elastic ...

Parallel Settings for ElmerGUI

I have successfully, and happily, run numerous models with ElmerGUI (8.4) using a single processor on a Windows 10 machine. Now I would like to use parallel processing, but have run into difficulties with the Parallel Settings in ElmerGUI. I would prefer to continue running my problems using the GUI...

Re: gmsh to Elmer

Hi Matthias, Thank you, your work-around appears to be the best option at this time. I was focusing too much on the formatting of the .msh file, while the real problem appears to be in the conversion within ElmerGUI from .msh to mesh.*. Using ElmerGrid via the command line is an acceptable solution ...

Re: gmsh to Elmer

Hi Peter,
I reduced the number of elements by ~ a factor of 10. Still shows the same characteristics, so this is a good test case.

Thanks again.

Re: gmsh to Elmer

Peter,
The upload failed because the size of the zip file is ~13MB, which exceeds the 2MB limit. I will scale down the mesh density and upload each file separately, to work within the limit.

Sorry for the confusion.

Re: gmsh to Elmer

Hi Peter, I have attached a zip archive containing 3 .msh files: 1) a V2 created by gmsh, 2) a V1 created by gmsh, and 3) a V2 resulting from a converted V1 by EnGrid. I notice that the file format of the 2 V2 versions differ. Specifically, the number of fields between the element number and the nod...
