Elmer Discussion Forum

Eelis, thanks for your help. I'm intrigued by your suggestions, but I'm also pretty lost. As far as I can tell, the only difference in the example Salome .hdf you sent me and the one I provided is that you defined a face group for the circular face shared between the cylinder and the square bodies -...

1. Does this also work with other solvers, in particular the Static Current Solver? 2. Would it work if it was three bodies with different numbers? 3. Would it work with curved interfaces? 4. Would it work in 3D? 5. Would it work if there was only partial overlap of the boundaries? Good questions -...

Sure. A Salome .hdf file is attached. Thanks for the help.

Peter, thanks for the explanation. At this point, it seems my only option is to model/mesh the interfaces. In reality these interfaces are only microns thick, but because I'm dealing with solid geometry that is centimeters in size, I will scale the thickness of the interfaces (to achieve a good mesh...

Eelis, Thanks for the valuable insight - you have definitely clarified the process for me. Unfortunately, my first attempts with this process were unsuccessful. Seemingly regardless of the mesh type I start with, I receive the error below. ElmerGrid 2 2 testCHT -discont 4 produces the following erro...

Hi, I'm new to Elmer and this is my first post on the forum... I'm attempting to use Elmer to solve a heat transfer simulation through solid bodies. Eventually I would like to simulate an assembly with 10+ individual bodies, but initially I'm just trying to get an example working with two solid cube...
